Do you keep attracting partners with "potential”?

Maybe they’re struggling, broken, or in need of rescuing—and you feel like it’s your job to help, fix, or carry them. It might feel noble, but what if that very instinct is what’s keeping you from the healthy, balanced relationship you actually want?

In this episode of Worthy of Work, Stephanie Rivard dives deep into the Savior Complex—a common but destructive pattern that convinces us we can earn love by rescuing someone else. We’ll explore:

• What the Savior Complex is and how it shows up in dating and relationships

• The root causes—low self-worth, insecurity, and identity struggles

• Why being someone’s “hero” doesn’t lead to a healthy partnership

• The difference between saving someone and supporting someone

• Red flags that you’re picking projects instead of partners

• Practical steps to break free from this cycle and start attracting emotionally healthy people

• What real partnership looks like: two grounded people climbing life’s mountain together, encouraging but not carrying each other

You’ll also learn why relationships are more like multiplication than addition—and why “half a person + half a person” doesn’t equal a whole. If you’ve wondered why your relationships keep ending in disappointment, or if you’ve questioned whether healthy love even exists, this episode will give you clarity, hope, and tools to change your patterns.

You deserve a relationship built on mutual respect, emotional health, and equality—not one where you’re the rescuer and your partner is the project. This conversation will help you spot unhealthy dynamics, rebuild your sense of worth, and shift your focus toward partners who are capable of building a strong, lasting relationship with you.

✨ Worthy of Work exists because you are worthy of doing the work that leads to healing, growth, and love that lasts.
