Years ago, an Al-Anon sponsor listened to me unload, paused, and asked one question: did you just want me to listen, or did you want feedback? I didn't know the answer. This episode is about everything that question opened up. Growing up in a family where everyone weighed in on everything, why well meant advice can still feel like criticism, and how kindness can quietly become a way of running the show. Plus a few simple tools for taking your hands off the wheel.
