In this episode of Bare It All, Tracey and Zoe chat to us about a big moment of realisation that hit home for both of them this week... that it is impossible to change another person.

In this ep you'll hear about:
- what to do when you're expecting someone in your life to change and their actions/behaviours hurt you
- how to lean more into acceptance of who the person is
- what to assess in the relationship you have with them to determine whether you continue on
- how to see the pattern of who someone is rather than the projection of who you want them to be
- why it is important to adjust your expectations of a challenging person in your life
