🎙️ Whose Problem is it Anyway?

How much of your energy are you spending trying to fix, manage, rescue, or change someone you love? In Episode 41 of Southern, Sober & Sassy, Kristy and I dig into a powerful concept inspired by Dr. Michael F. Barnes’ work and talk about the 80/20 rule—what happens when we spend 80% of our time and emotional energy focused on things we may have very little control over, while neglecting the 20% that actually belongs to us. And we don’t just talk about it—we’ve lived it. Kristy and I share some of our own experiences with loved ones and what it has looked like to love someone while trying to figure out where helping ends and managing begins. Sometimes our desire to protect, fix, or create a different outcome comes from a place of love…but somewhere along the way, we can lose ourselves in someone else’s problem. Maybe the question isn’t, “How do I get them to change?” Maybe it’s: What is actually mine to change? 🔥 Where is YOUR 80% going? Much Love, Amy & Kristy
