The Catholic Coaching Podcast 272. Stop Trying to Fix People | 5 Catholic Mindsets for Virtuous Influence
Ever tried to “help” someone change… and just ended up exhausted, resentful, or shut out? 😵💫
This is Part 2 of our series on virtuous influence—how to help others change for the good while fully honoring their freedom and dignity.
In this episode, Matt and Erin share 5 interior dispositions that transform the way you show up in tough relationships, especially when someone you love keeps choosing badly:
In this episode we cover:
• Why healed people heal people—and why your inner work matters
• What it means to be humbly honest (and why pretending you’ve “arrived”
backfires)
• How to be attentively affirming instead of constantly correcting
• Seeing people as a mystery to receive, not a problem to fix
• Patiently persevering when change is painfully slow
• Sanctifying surrender: uniting your sorrow with Christ instead of slipping
into despair
We talk about real situations:
• Parents with kids drifting from the faith
• Spouses stuck in bad habits
• Friends caught in addiction or destructive patterns
• Coaches and ministry leaders who feel responsible for other people’s
outcomes
If you’ve ever thought, “I can’t fix them, but I also can’t stop caring,” this episode is for you.
