The Victim Mindset

Welcome to This Might Get Heavy — the podcast where we explore real-life experiences: the wounds we’ve carried, the healing we’ve chosen, and the growth we continue to chase. In this episode, we’re unpacking: The victim mindset — how it shows up, how it holds us back, and how we started shifting out of it What taking accountability actually looks like (hint: it’s not self-blame) The power of boundaries — and how they help us protect our peace and stay rooted in self-worth. Taking control of your life — even when it feels messy, late, or hard. We’re not here as experts — we’re here as people who’ve been through it, taken accountability, and are actively doing the work. This is a space for truth, reflection, real talk, and yes… a little humor too. šŸŽ™ļø Subscribe & join the conversation: New episodes drop every Sunday.
