You already know who keeps breaking your wings.
You've known for a while. So why are you still there?
This episode tells the story of a scorpion and a butterfly, two beings who cannot coexist, even when they want to. It's not about good or bad. It's about incompatibility. And sometimes, love cannot grow where someone's patterns keep causing harm.
We explore why you stay when you know better: the savior complex, the belief that your love can change someone, the fear that leaving means admitting you failed. We look at nervous system reflexes, trauma responses, and the gap between intention and safety.
If you're the butterfly, you'll hear why choosing yourself isn't selfish, it's survival.
If you're the scorpion, you'll hear why wanting to be good isn't the same as doing the work to become safe.
Context isn't an excuse. It's a map.
You don't owe anyone your wings.
