Can we let people—especially the ones we care about most—chart their own path? What about when we think they're making a mistake?
In this part 2 episode, Jeanette returns to examine how the same leadership patterns she’s untangling in her role at work are playing out at home—with her son, her daughter-in-law, and her husband. What starts as a family conflict becomes a raw reckoning with expectations, identity, and the cost of clinging to an ideal instead of truly seeing people.
Ideas we explore:
01:15 — When stepping in to help actually gets in the way
04:10 — How the ideal in your head is sabotaging your relationships
07:00 — It isn't love when it's about you
15:00 — Clinging to being right makes connection impossible
21:50 — Your mindset shapes every relationship you touch
28:00 — The courage it takes to truly see and acknowledge others
