Talks for Two

should we try to change people?

Sometimes we wish people acted or thought differently. We wish they listened to us more, didn’t fear failure as much, or simply just shared their emotions a little more openly. Today I want to talk about trying to change people. The questions I aim to answer are why do we try to change people? Should we try to change them? What happens when we try to change them? And how do I deal with something I don’t like? Here’s the blog [https://open.substack.com/pub/taliasimone/p/can-you-change-another-person-99b?r=28b132&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true] version if you and your partner prefer to read it. I hope this episode sparks great conversation, and I’d love to hear any thoughts you have!
