Summary

Have you ever had someone come to you with a dilemma, but when you start to share your advice, they resist your every suggestion? The relationship gets more strained. You leave feeling frustrated, but when you open up, you immediately get advice and feel more alone and more confused than you were before. For this episode, I continue the conversation I started in Episode 17 with one of my heroes, Parker J. Palmer. He's sharing a story or two, some of the things he has learned over decades, and some actionable advice. By the end of this episode, you will be better able to help people unravel their confusion and find the right way forward.

1:33.8

one hand, it's a time that can be peaceful, rejuvenative, inspirational as it helps us to think

1:40.8

about higher, better things. And at the same time, it can become reactive, it can be the busiest
