Hey Reader!
I have been waiting to share this one with you β and it's finally here!
The latest episode of Lift Her Up is now live, and this week we're talking about The Fixer Friend. The Fixer Friend is the one who always has a solution, never asks for help, and keeps giving even when they're running on empty. Sound familiar? Whether that's you or someone you love, this episode is going to speak directly to that.
This is one of my personal favorites β and I think it's going to become one of yours too!
And please β share this one. Forward this email. Drop the link in your group chat. Tag a friend. The person who needs this episode probably won't ask for it. But you can send it to them.
Stay encouraged,

Do you immediately jump into solution mode when someone shares a problem? Are you the one everyone calls when things fall apart β and somehow you always show up, even when you're running on empty?
You might be the Fixer Friend.
In this episode, we're unpacking one of the most common β and most misunderstood β friendship archetypes. We'll explore where the urge to fix actually comes from (hint: it usually starts long before adulthood), what Scripture says about healthy versus unhealthy fixing, and how to steward your gift without losing yourself in the process.
We'll look at Abraham and Sarah's impatience with God's timing, Martha's misdirected busyness, and Joseph β the ultimate example of what it looks like to be a problem solver who never loses sight of The Source.
Because fixing becomes unhealthy the moment we stop partnering with God and start trying to replace Him.
If you've ever felt frustrated that people don't change, burned out from over-functioning, or like everything will fall apart if you don't step in β this one is for you. Comment Fixer if you see yourself in this episode, or Learning if you're practicing letting God handle what you can't. π
