Nobody’s Coming to Save You: How Passivity Is Keeping You Stuck

Let’s get real—one of the biggest lies we’ve all been sold is that if we just wait, the answers will come. The right person will come. The validation will come. God will come. Society teaches us to stay passive. Wait for permission. Don’t rock the boat. Don’t ask for too much.

And where has that gotten most people? Exhausted. Underpaid. Stuck in service roles. Numbed out and blaming everyone else for why they feel trapped.

In this episode, I’m calling it out: passivity is the root of most unhappiness. And no, it’s not because you’re weak—it’s because you were trained to be passive. Religion, school, family…they all taught you to sit still and wait for someone to fix your life. But no one’s coming. No one can give you the permission you’ve been waiting for.

So let’s talk about what happens when you stop waiting. When you stop asking for permission. When you stop blaming and start becoming the architect of your own life. This isn’t a motivational speech. It’s a reality check.
