The Love Of Purple

Let Them Be Themselves - You’ll Thank Me Later

Ever find yourself trying to get someone to change?
Be nicer. More supportive. Less annoying. More your way?

Yeah… same 😅

In this episode of Love of Purple, we’re talking about why trying to change other people is exhausting, why it rarely works, and what actually creates peace instead.

Here’s the truth: everyone lives by their own set of beliefs and values. And when we try to change someone, we’re asking them to betray who they are. No wonder it doesn’t go well.

In this episode, we’ll unpack:

• Why we feel the urge to “fix” or change people

• How beliefs and values shape behavior (whether we like it or not)

• What acceptance really means (and what it doesn’t)

• How to figure out where people actually fit in your life

• And the dreamy effect that happens when you stop trying to control others and start living in alignment

This isn’t about giving up on relationships — it’s about creating honest ones.
Less resentment. More clarity. More peace.

If you’ve ever felt drained by trying to make people different… this episode is for you 💜

When we learn to surrender to what is,  we open the door for more opportunity and what is meant for us can find us. 

" I decided that if I was going to commit to anyone at any time in  my life, I was going to commit to myself, and my permission was the only thing I needed"

"Everything changed The moment I took responsibility for my own healing"  - AW

The quote comes from a portion of her chapter - and we zero on why that's so important. Nobody can do the healing for you.  We can't blame others and expect to change. 

And why being in the moment & being with the people you are with is so important to live a life of true abundance
