When someone close to you is facing illness, divorce, financial loss, or deep stress, what do you say? What do you do? Most people either avoid the conversation entirely—or say the wrong thing with the right intentions.
Join Anna and Tim as they walk through what it really means to show up well for someone going through a hard time. This episode is packed with practical do’s and don’ts, from how to ask thoughtful questions to what never to say—and how to care without burning yourself out in the process.
This episode covers:

• How to start a supportive conversation without overstepping
• Why asking someone to explain their situation can feel like a burden
• What to say instead of offering advice or “looking on the bright side”
• Tips for helping friends through illness, divorce, or financial crisis
• Why small actions like dropping off a meal matter more than you think
• How to know which friends can truly hold space—and which can’t
• The importance of taking care of your own nervous system while supporting others

Until next time, here's to deeper connections and personal growth.
Mad love!
