What if one of the qualities you’ve always taken pride in—your independence—is actually keeping you stuck, isolated, and fragile?
In this episode, I’m sharing how the book The Family Economy by Rory Groves completely reframed my understanding of strength, success, relationships, and even coaching. I open up about the way I was raised to value self-reliance, how I wore it as a badge of honor for years, and why I now see it as a form of quiet fragility.
You’ll hear why dependence—when built intentionally—is not weakness, but a deeper kind of strength. One that stabilizes marriages, empowers families, accelerates progress, and deepens friendships.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever said, “I should be able to figure this out on my own,” and who’s ready to consider a more powerful—and connected—way forward.
