Boundaries and the Fixer

from THE DRIVE · host Josh Downs

Helping people is a good thing. But trying to fix everyone’s problems can actually do more harm than good. In this episode of The Drive, Josh explores the mindset of “the fixer”—someone who constantly jumps in to rescue others from their struggles. While the intention may come from love, constantly solving problems for others can rob them of the opportunity to grow, learn, and develop strength. Through powerful stories and meaningful insights, this episode explains why struggle is often necessary for growth—and why empowering others is far more valuable than rescuing them. Sometimes the most loving thing you can do is step back and allow others to learn how to fly.
