Letting Go of the Fixer Mentality: A Chat with Garrett
“Having you try to fix them, try to enable them to that extreme, is actually disservicing them a lot. Oh shit, I am focusing on somebody else's problems instead of taking ownership of my own.”
Do you find yourself constantly trying to 'fix' others, perhaps as a way to dodge your own issues? In this episode of 'Wishing You Wellness', Allison Toth invites her good friend Garrett to discuss the pitfalls of this common tendency. Together, they unpack why some of us are drawn to saving others and how this can serve as a distraction from our own lives.
They dive into the benefits of letting go of this urge and how doing so can lead to healthier, more balanced relationships. The conversation also touches on the importance of setting healthy boundaries within friendships to avoid becoming what they call 'energy vampires'. Garrett even treats listeners to a live rendition of 'Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe', adding a fun twist to the insightful dialogue.
With raw honesty and engaging anecdotes, Allison and Garrett offer a refreshing take on why we should focus on our own growth rather than trying to fix those around us. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to understand their motivations and build more meaningful connections.
