Ever blurted out a “helpful tip” and watched the other person shut down?

In this punchy, heart-opening episode of The Glow Up Experience, Lindsay Jacobi breaks the reflex to fix—and shows you how empathy, curiosity, and consent-first communication deepen connection with partners, friends, and kids. Through a real morning moment with her husband (and a hard truth from a well-meaning friend), Lindsay maps the simple shifts that turn advice-giving into trust-building.

You’ll learn

• Why advice can sometimes land as judgment or incapability

• The one pause that stops “fix-it mode” in its tracks

• Consent questions that create instant safety: “Do you want ideas or ears?” / “Comfort or solutions?”

• Validation lines that soothe without rescuing

• How stepping back grows agency in children (and reduces learned helplessness)

• A quick self-check to rebuild polarity and intimacy in long-term relationships
