When someone close to us is struggling, our instinct is often to jump in and “fix it” for them. We’ve all acted on that urge before, but true support isn’t about rushing a solution—it’s about giving them space to process without trying to steer their emotions.
Today I’m joined by my husband, Jon Parsons, to dive deeper into this topic. Over the weekend, we had a conversation about allowing each other to feel our feelings without trying to make things better. In this episode, we explore why the tendency to intervene is so common and how a shift in approach will strengthen relationships instead of straining them.
You’ll also hear some practical coaching insights on this ongoing process. It can feel frustrating when mindset work isn’t a one-and-done deal, but when challenges come up—like learning to “let” someone feel their feelings—you have the tools to continue evolving as your favorite version of yourself.
