Allowing vs. Forcing Part 1: Why We Do It and What It Costs

In this episode Jill Pack explores why we often try to force change in the people we love and what that costs us. Drawing on a personal story with her granddaughter on a ski slope, she explains how forcing is usually a coping mechanism rooted in anxiety, family training, and cultural expectations. Jill discusses the grief that comes with choosing to allow rather than control—grieving outcomes, roles, and imagined relationships—and invites listeners to notice their patterns as the first step toward healthier connections.
