Mind Pilot Episode 98
Ever feel like you’re watching a friend rot in a "brain jail" of their own making? In this episode, Dr. Jana Price-Sharps explains why your professional "command and control" style can actually lock the door tighter when dealing with loved ones. Instead of dictating the solution , learn how to help them find the key they’re already wearing around their neck. It’s about moving from being the one who "puts out the fire" to the one who walks beside a friend as they find their own way out.
