Description
You don’t have to have experienced hardship in order to show thoughtful support for someone who is. Knowing what to do or say to someone going through some tough shit can be hard! Maybe you just don’t know what to say or are afraid you might say the wrong thing. But, even the smallest gestures have a huge impact on helping someone through their traumatic experience. In this episode, we’re breaking down some of the (sometimes unexpected!) lessons we’ve learned while navigating Kasey’s cancer journey that YOU can use to show up and be supportive in the BEST way for those you love.   We’re diving into:   The #1 thing you can do BEFORE sending a message to effectively communicate and show support  The important ways you can reach out during a cancer diagnosis that people sometimes miss Super simple ways to show up and be supportive of someone going through hard times/a cancer journey, and the questions that are NOT cool to ask them Some reflections on the most meaningful acts of support for Kasey’s diagnosis, and why you should never wait to reach out to the people you care about (plus, a challenge from Karli) Why small acts of kindness can make a HUGE impact for someone going through something difficult And much more!
