Summary

My guest this week is Nancy. Her brother John just died, and she’s on the phone with Rick, her other brother. He tries to take control of the situation and says, “No! This is how we’re going to do it.” She sees him as a bully: overpowering, difficult, scary, and hurtful, and wants him to listen to her, to slow down and be vulnerable. Join Nancy and me as we take on a bully together. Welcome to The Work.
