This episode includes a dog, a cat who runs up a tree and gets stuck, an electrical cord, and a leadership lesson. There’s a backyard rescue mission, a personal realization and a few more interesting plot twists.

But the real story? It’s not about the cat.

It’s about what happens inside a people-pleaser’s mind when something goes wrong, and the urge to fix, help, and over-function takes over.

Jenny explores the discomfort of stepping back, resisting the urge to over-help, and learning to trust that other people are capable—even when it’s hard to watch.

Listener Reflection:
Have you ever helped without being asked? What would it have looked like to step back with compassion instead?
