Welcome babe to the She Wakes Up Podcast,

In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into the dynamics between men, women, and the desire for change within relationships. We explore how women often take on the role of fixers and healers, attempting to change their partners.

However, the truth is that change cannot be forced or achieved through nagging or making someone feel inadequate. We also examine how this well-intentioned behavior can unknowingly sabotage relationships and how Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs emphasizes the importance of security before love and connectedness.
