🎙️ Episode 10 – I Can’t Fix Them: Making Peace with Someone Else’s Journey Follow-up to Episode 9: Free Will vs. Expectations

What happens when the person you’ve been hoping for… praying for… waiting on… just doesn’t change?

In this follow-up to Episode 9, we’re going deeper — into the quiet grief of realizing that someone else’s journey may never lead to healing. This isn’t about bitterness. It’s about wisdom. It’s about learning to release what was never yours to carry — and finally reclaim your peace.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why heartbreak lingers even when no one “did” anything wrong

• What scripture says about letting go and trusting God with the outcome

• How to hold people lightly, not tightly — even when you love them

• Why it hurts to let go… and why it’s still the right choice

Scriptures referenced: Galatians 6:5 · Proverbs 4:23 · Proverbs 3:5–6 · Isaiah 26:3 · Ruth 3 · Job 2

📝 Journal Prompt: Who am I trying to carry emotionally — and why do I feel responsible for their growth? What would it look like to hold them lightly, not tightly?

What do you do when someone makes a choice that breaks your heart… and you can’t undo it?

In today’s episode, I’m unpacking the emotional tension between free will and expectation — especially in relationships where love is real, but outcomes are disappointing. Whether it’s a family member, friend, or former partner, watching someone make a painful decision can leave you confused, hurt, and holding on to a future that may never come.

Inside this solo episode, I’m sharing:

• A personal story sparked by a real-life conversation with my lifelong sister-friends

• The psychology behind why it’s so hard to let go when we expected something different

• Scripture that offers comfort and clarity (Psalm 34:18 + Proverbs 19:21)

• A gentle, soul-searching journal prompt to help you release and move forward
