About this episode

Stephanie Lyn discusses the exhaustion of trying to make others happy and the importance of focusing on oneself.

In this episode, I’m getting real about a pattern I’ve spent years trying to break: the "Savior Complex." We’re taught that helping, fixing, and over-functioning is the ultimate way to show love, but what if it’s actually the very thing keeping you stuck? I’m sharing my personal realization that it is not my job to make others happy, and why your need to "save" people is likely the biggest obstacle to your own peace of mind. If you are exhausted from holding everyone else together, it is time to put that weight down and finally focus on you.
