How Your Savior Complex Is Ruining Your Relationships

In this episode, we explore why the urge to 'save' others—be it friends, partners, or family—can drain your energy and disrupt your peace. Acting as an emotional sponge does not make you more virtuous or loyal; rather, it can lead to resentment, burnout, and fictitious narratives.
We discuss:

How your savior complex impacts relationships

The disguise of people-pleasing as empathy

The fine line between caring and overburdening yourself

How to plant seeds of change without imposing on others' lives
