This week we’re discussing When Self-Preservation Keeps You Stuck
Many single parents build needed walls after loss or overwhelm. Those walls help you breathe again, yet they can start to box you in. This episode addresses three pain points that keep you stuck: survival patterns that outlive their purpose, mistaking safety for thriving, and the courage it takes to reengage with people and opportunities. This matters because healing asks for compassion toward what protected you and small, steady risks that help you grow.
Today, we cover three main points:
- How to know when self preservation has outlived its purpose
- Why feeling safe is not the same as living fully
- How to honor the past and choose the future
When you can honor the ways you once kept yourself safe without letting them define what comes next, healing begins. Growth doesn’t happen in comfort, it happens when you stretch toward something new while remembering you can always return to your safe place when you need it.
