You can't change someone who doesn't see an issue with their actions. It's a good point when you think about how difficult it was to make changes within myself, very difficult to cajole that onto someone else.
Ever wondered why telling someone what to do rarely works, especially when it comes to addiction? In this episode of 'Sideways', hosts Graham Landi and Martin Pankhurst unpack the complexities behind interventions and why they often fall flat. They explore the deep-seated reasons that drive us to try and change others, and why these efforts usually miss the mark.
The duo doesn’t just stick to heavy topics; they lighten the mood with their signature blend of humor, sharing quirky stories about charity shop finds and Martin’s unexpected love for hog roasts. They even dive into a hilarious segment where they choose musicians for some rather unsavory purposes. Alongside these lighter moments, Graham and Martin reflect on the importance of being open-minded, especially when dealing with addiction and recovery.
They also touch on National Honesty Day and National Bugs Bunny Day, bringing a mix of fun and thoughtfulness to the episode. Whether you’re grappling with addiction yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply curious about the dynamics of interventions, this episode offers a balanced mix of serious insights and light-hearted banter.
