Finding Your Role in Recovery: Embracing the Position of Neutrality
“I'm not there to play it because I'm out in the orchestra pit. I don't know if that's true for you, but that's why a guy like me has imperfect children and imperfect parents and imperfect employers, because I'm never there to play my role and the part show can't come off.”
Ever feel like you're missing your cue in the play of life? Joe McDonald dives into this relatable struggle in this episode of 'Position of Neutrality'. Drawing from his own journey, Joe shares how he often found himself trying to control everything and everyone, only to end up feeling out of place and frustrated.
