When Someone Won't Change, Here's What's Actually Yours to Control

Someone in your life keeps doing the thing you've asked them to stop, and no matter how you've said it — gently or firmly — nothing seems to stick. This episode explains why that's not about your wording, and what the research on how people actually change reveals about why outside pressure alone rarely moves anyone forward.

You'll hear why treating someone's whole character as the problem usually backfires, and what to focus on instead: the parts of this relationship that were always yours to control. It won't make them change. It will change where your effort goes, and how much lighter that makes the rest of your day.
