About this episode

In this episode, we talk about the subtle difference between being supportive and being in control. As capable women, it’s easy to think we’re helping when we’re really correcting, directing, or stepping in because it feels safer to manage the outcome ourselves.I share how this has shown up in my own marriage, what I’ve had to learn about listening instead of fixing, and why there has to be room for two capable people in a partnership. This episode is really about trust, restraint, and learning when to step in and when to let go.
