In this powerful and deeply personal episode, we dive into the truth that so many young women need to hear: you cannot mother someone into their potential—especially when they don’t want to grow. If you’ve ever tried to fix, heal, or carry someone through their self-destruction—this is for you. We explore how to recognize when love turns into emotional labor, how to release someone who isn’t choosing healing, and how to return to yourself. This episode is filled with wisdom, raw truth, and empowerment for every woman who has ever been stuck loving someone’s potential instead of their reality. Topics covered in this episode: Why you can’t heal someone who’s committed to their own chaos The emotional cost of dating people with unresolved trauma (cheating exes, toxic families, self-sabotage) Understanding the “Let Them” theory: Let them ghost, let them show you who they are, and let them go You are not a rehabilitation center—you are a whole, growing soul How to tell when you’re in love with potential, not the person Breaking the trauma-bond cycle and reclaiming your inner peace Gratitude without attachment: saying “thank you” and walking away Building yourself from within and finding validation in your own wholeness Creating a self-loving life and nourishing community Gentle reminders: You’re allowed to breathe, love, and reboot Quote of the episode: “If they don’t respect your time, life, presence, and essence—they don’t deserve to indulge in your abundance.” --- Call to Action: Let’s grow together—follow, connect, and ask questions: Instagram: @absalutely1 TikTok: @absalutely1 YouTube: @absatultely Ask for Advice / Submit a Question: Google Form Business Inquiries: @absalutely1@gmail.com Listen now and remember: a healthy mind is wealth.
