Manage Your Mind Mindful Moment: Seeing the Human First - A Midlife Reflection on Judgement, Family, and Compassion
This episode is a little more personal — and a little more emotional.
Today Dr Corina opens up about her brother: a man of immense creativity, complexity, and struggle. Through his story, she reflects on how our early experiences shape our choices, how easy it is to judge what we don’t understand, and how healing begins when we learn to see the human before the circumstance.
In this heartfelt conversation, Corina explores:
- What it means to offer compassion without enabling
- How codependence quietly shows up in relationships
- The power of acceptance when you can’t “fix” someone you love
- How her medical background and life experience changed the way she sees people living with addiction
This episode is both raw and tender — a reminder that empathy and boundaries can coexist, and that sometimes the most loving thing we can do is to simply see someone.
