Bird Brain | S9 E12 (347) -The Passenger Test: How People Drive when you're in their life

Most people don’t realize they’re not moving through life alone. In this episode, we explore what it really means to be a passenger in someone else’s life—and what their “driving” reveals about how they value you.

From being left behind at emotional red lights to feeling unsafe in someone’s chaos, this conversation breaks down the subtle ways people show (or don’t show) consideration. We talk about the difference between being included and being considered, how emotional awareness impacts relationships, and why feeling safe with someone has less to do with what they say—and everything to do with how they move.
