Issue XXXVIII - His #1, His Ride-or-Die (Eddie tries his hand at being an advice columnist answering: Can you change a person? Should I tell my spouse they’re unhealthy? Am I too naggy?)

Doing the Best We Can with Eddie Kaufholz

Today, we will be discussing the delicate topic of encouraging a loved one's health without nagging. A listener reached out with concerns about her husband's dangerous weight and resistance to change, and we will explore whether or not we can actually change a person. Is it our job to do so? Is it kind to care, especially when the stakes are high?
