In this "Best of TFB" flashback, we're going back in time to revisit one of our most memorable episodes: “Confessions of a Control Freak.”
This was one of our most honest, light-hearted, and revealing discussions about what it really means to be labeled a “control freak”—both at home and in business. And since we've welcomed so many new listeners over the years, you may have never gotten the chance to hear it.
You'll hear Steve and Mary Alessi dive into the ways control can show up in our daily lives, from wanting things just right in the family or workplace, to the difference between healthy leadership and destructive, hidden manipulation. You'll hear share personal stories (including memorable family trips and classic elevator mishaps) and talk about the power of self-awareness, knowing when to let go, and how striving for order doesn’t have to mean becoming overbearing.
If you’ve ever been called controlling—or know someone who has—this "Best of TFB" episode is for you!
