The Career Coven, with Bec & Annie

S3E3 The Career Coven: The "Let Them" Theory


Listen Later

This week's episode is on the “Let Them” theory. A controversial theory, which can be summarised as a mindset and boundary-setting approach that encourages emotional freedom and letting go of control over how others behave.

At the core of this idea is that you can’t control other people's emotions, so you shouldn’t worry about it. In this episode, Annie and Bec give their hot take on:

  • What are the positives of this theory? When is it helpful
  • Is this just giving up, and giving up influence?
  • What would happen if we stopped engaging with complex issues at work
  • How “doing hard things” is part of work, and this theory does encourages being passive
  • The benefits of productive rage
  • Is “caring a little less” better advice for women than men?
  • How this helps people pleasers
