Ep. 126 - Stop Fixing Her: Why Your ‘Help’ Is Killing Connection

from I Know a Guy Podcast · host Steve Cummings

Most men think they’re helping… But what if the way you respond to your wife’s emotions is actually pushing her further away? In this episode of I Know a Guy, we break down the critical difference between sympathy and empathy—and why men default to fixing, minimizing, and controlling when emotions rise. If you’ve ever said, “Just don’t worry about it”… or “You’ll be fine”… This episode is for you. Because connection isn’t built through solutions. It’s built through presence. Mentioned on this episode: Brené Brown on Empathy Do me a favor?  Would you follow, rate, comment and share this podcast with another guy as the Spirit leads?  Let's help more men live from their true identity - together!
