THE PAYOFF AND PITFALLS OF BEING SOMEONE’S SOLUTION-There’s a real emotional payoff when you realize you’ve been part of someone’s solution. It feels good because God designed us for connection and contribution. But what happens when we start chasing that feeling instead of staying rooted in truth? In this episode, we’ll talk about the joy of being a solution, the hidden pitfalls like over-responsibility and the dopamine trap, and how to find the healthy middle ground as a coach and as a woman of faith.

Key Takeaways

1. Being someone’s solution affirms your value, strengthens connection, and builds legacy.
2. Pitfalls include tying your worth to helping, overextending, resentment, missed boundaries, and chasing the dopamine “high.”
3. The healthy middle ground is remembering you’re a vessel, not the source—you’re responsible to people, not for them.

Listener Challenge Reflect on a recent time you were someone’s solution. Did it bring joy, or did it leave you drained? Pay attention this week to whether you’re offering from overflow or chasing the emotional high.
