Who’s really driving your life? Are you in control or just along for the ride?
In this empowering episode of From Both Sides of the Couch, Dr. Laurie Bruce—clinical psychologist and mindfulness coach—guides you through a powerful car metaphor to explore self-responsibility, resilience, and personal growth. Each seat in the car represents a level of responsibility, from feeling stuck in the backseat to fully taking the wheel of your own life.
Even when resentment, frustration, or disempowerment creep in, the truth is clear: you have the power to shift gears, take the driver’s seat, and create the life you truly want. This episode will inspire women to embrace clarity, courage, and self-honesty as they navigate challenges and step into their full power.
If you’re ready to move from survival mode to empowerment, this conversation will give you the tools and perspective to start driving your life with confidence and purpose.
