From Ball Games To Big Ideas: How Rigidity Shrinks A Life
from Why Smart Women Podcast · host Annie McCubbin

We head to Mona Vale where hundreds of dogs sprint through the surf and most humans smile—until a few arrive with tight rules, tight lips, and the belief that public spaces should run to their personal script. That tiny friction becomes our doorway into manners, shared spaces, and the sneaky sentence that fuels so much outrage: “this shouldn’t be happening.”Support the showProudly sponsored by COUP — helping brands cut through the noise with bold, smart marketing.
