If You’re Always the Fixer, You Need to Hear This

Women, we are natural fixers. We see the problem, feel responsible, and jump in. Because helping is love… right? In this episode of Generations Woven, three generations of women unpack what happens when fixing becomes a pattern in motherhood, friendships, work, and romantic relationships. We explore how trying to “save” someone can quietly damage trust, block growth, and create emotional disconnection. This honest conversation about women, relationships, and communication dives into: • Why many women feel responsible for everyone else’s emotions • How mother daughter relationships can be impacted by overhelping • The difference between supporting someone and trying to control the outcome • Why asking “Do you want my advice or do you want me to listen?” transforms communication • How generational patterns shape the way women love We also talk about codependent tendencies, why some women are drawn to chaos in relationships, and how emotional healing changes what you’re attracted to. If you’ve ever felt exhausted from being “the strong one,” struggled with healthy communication in relationships, or noticed generational patterns repeating in your family, this episode will speak directly to you. Because not everything needs fixing. Some things need space. — Key Takeaways 1.Fixing without permission can break trust in relationships. 2.Healthy communication starts with asking what someone actually needs. 3.Teaching builds confidence in children, teams, and partners. 4.You cannot heal or change someone else. 5.Emotional healing shifts your relationship patterns and what you allow in your life. — Timestamps 0:00 Women Are Natural Fixers 0:31 Welcome to Generations Woven 0:42 Fixing Too Quickly Can Block Trust and Growth 1:26 Ask Permission Before You Try to Help 1:45 “Do You Want My Advice or Do You Want Me to Listen?” 2:11 The Relief of Just Listening 3:38 A Child’s Perspective: “I Feel Like She Doesn’t Trust Me” 4:39 Regret as a Mom: Not Giving Enough Chores 5:44 Fixing at Work: Everyone Deserves to Learn 6:52 Delegation Builds a Stronger Team 7:11 Fixer Uppers and Relationships: A Different Slant 7:47 The Pattern: Choosing Bad Boys and Chaos 9:20 The Hard Truth: You Can’t Fix Anyone Else 10:02 The Switch: Choosing Real Over Drama 10:58 The Prayer Bench Moment 11:36 Ten Minutes Later: The Phone Rings 12:44 Carrot Cake, Dinner, and “No Fixing Required” 14:26 Subconscious Chaos and the Bandaids Story 16:12 “He Made a Temple, Not a Tavern” 17:02 Not Everything Needs Fixing 17:35 Closing Blessing — Quotable Moments “Women, we are natural fixers.” “Fixing too quickly can stand in the way of trust.” “Do you want my advice, or do you want me to listen?” “I feel like she doesn’t trust me.” “We can’t fix anybody else, only ourselves.” “Not everything needs fixing, some things need space.” “Because of him, he made out of the lumber of my life not a tavern, but a temple.” — Reflect With Us Before you “help,” pause. Ask out loud (or text it): “Do you want my advice, or do you want me to listen?” Then do the brave part: honor their answer. If you want to go deeper, journal this: Where do I feel responsible for things that aren’t mine to carry? Who am I trying to fix because it feels safer than feeling? What would it look like to give people space to grow? — Join the Generations Woven Community Women 18 to 100 come here for connection, vulnerability, faith, and growth.
