Well, folks, you’re in for quite a conversation today! In this one we tackle a lot of territory, but at the heart of this podcast is a conversation about how we support one another. As we know, we’re all unique, and we all have our own way of doing things. However, the way that we see others operating doesn’t always look too much like our own, and the pressure to conform can be real! How do we support others, and ourselves, when we’re trying to find our own way, our creative way, the way that works for us, individually? We note that some of the things that are “typical,” or even “expected,” during challenging times really aren’t as positive as they might seem.
Have you told someone to “hang in there” lately? What image does that really convey? Or maybe you believe such truisms as “pressure makes diamonds” and “no pain, no gain” help spur others along. Do these phrases fall on the ears of those in our communities in the way we hope? Are the healthy and positive messages to receive? How do we witness the struggle of others without taking it on or minimizing it? It’s tricky work! In the end, we hope this one encourages you to come along with us as we keep contemplating the language of support!
Thank you for listening!
