Victimhood... Or is it Volunteering

from Worthy of Work: Learning About Me Helps Me Love You. · host Stephanie Rivard

In this episode, I unpack the character defect of victimhood — the mindset that sees life’s inconveniences and disappointments as personal attacks or signs that I’m stuck. I share how I used to frame myself as a powerless bystander in my own life, and how that illusion kept me from seeing the choices I did have.If you’ve ever said “I had to stay late” or “I have to do everything myself,” this one’s for you. I break down how those phrases became clues that I was volunteering for situations I claimed to resent. I wasn’t being forced — I was opting in, without realizing it.You’ll learn how to spot victim language in your own life, why it’s so sneaky, and what the opposite of victimhood really looks like. (Hint: it has everything to do with choice.)This episode is for anyone stuck in martyr mode, feeling overburdened, or wondering why life seems to be “happening to them.” It’s especially for those in recovery or working on breaking cycles of codependency.And if you’ve ever wondered why things feel heavy even when they shouldn’t — this episode might give you the clarity you’ve been missing.#WorthyOfWorkPodcast#RelationshipRecovery#HealthyRelationships#EmotionalAwareness#BoundariesMatter#CodependencyRecovery#UnlearningToxicPatterns#RecoveryPrinciples#PersonalGrowthJourney#HealingIsWork
