In this deeply validating episode, Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver dives into the gut-wrenching reality that no matter how much you love, support, or sacrifice for someone—they won’t change unless they want to. Whether you’re stuck in the “maybe” loop, grieving the person they could have been, or parenting through heartbreak, this is the episode for you.

You’ll learn:

• How to recognize when someone truly has no intention of changing

• The link between toxic hope, emotional burnout, and trauma bonds

• How to stop blaming yourself and start reclaiming your energy

• What boundaries actually look like when the other person resists

• How to heal when grief, confusion, and guilt keep you stuck

This is must-hear support for any high-functioning woman trying to stay hopeful in a situation that’s draining the life out of her.
