Why Did He Fall in Love With You? Unpacking the Link Between Addiction and Gifted Women

We are not crazy, even though addiction tries to make us feel that way. It’s actually quite the opposite. We are very sane and very capable women. That’s why we come up with so many wonderful ways to help them, even though they never take us up on it for very long, if at all.
Picture this: you're in the laundry room, surrounded by the hum of the washer and dryer, folding clothes while keeping an eye on the kids playing outside. This everyday scene is where Michelle Anderson found herself pondering a profound question: why did he fall in love with you? In this episode of 'Love Over Addiction', Michelle dives into the idea that addiction often targets gifted women, those who are compassionate, strong, and endlessly supportive.
Michelle's reflections are deeply personal and relatable. She acknowledges the emotional roller coaster that comes with loving someone struggling with addiction. But she also flips the script, reminding her listeners that they are not crazy or weak. On the contrary, they possess incredible qualities that make them magnets for both love and, unfortunately, the chaos of addiction. This episode isn't just about understanding why addiction affects good people; it's a call to action for self-care and personal healing.
Michelle stresses that taking care of oneself is not selfish but essential. She shares practical advice on how to prioritize your well-being, offering programs and personal coaching tailored to help women focus on their own needs. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by your partner's addiction, this episode is a comforting reminder that you're not alone. Michelle's empathetic approach and practical tips provide a roadmap to reclaiming your happiness and health.
