142. Holding On, Too Tightly

In this powerful solo episode, I’m sharing a message that’s been sitting on my heart: how our tightest grips on people, businesses, and outcomes can unintentionally suffocate the very things we’re trying to grow. Inspired by Of Mice and Men, I talk through how love can morph into control, and how that shift can affect family farms, careers, marriages, and leadership dynamics.This isn’t a “fix it all” episode, but it is a vulnerable look at how letting go just enough might actually allow things to breathe, progress, and flourish. If you’ve ever felt like the life is being squeezed out of you, or if you’re wondering whether you might be squeezing too hard, this episode is for you.Resources & Links:Of Mice and Men by John SteinbeckThe Alchemist by Paulo CoelhoJoin The Directory Of The WestGet our FREE resource for Writing a Strong Job Description Get our FREE resource for Making the Most of Your InternshipGet our FREE resource: 10 Resume Mistakes (and how to fix them)Get our FREE resource: How to Avoid the 7 Biggest Hiring Mistakes Employers MakeEmail us at [email protected] to Of The West's ⁠NewslettersList your jobs on ⁠Of The WestConnect with Jessie:Follow on Instagram @ofthewest.co and @mrsjjarvFollow on Facebook @jobsofthewestCheck out the Of The West websiteBe sure to subscribe/follow the show so you never miss an episode!
