Ask For Empathy Vs. Strategy

Communicating our needs can be tough, but we can always offer ourselves and our friends the space to do it. Today we're learning from one of Shine's co-founders, Marah Lidey, about how to be clear on whether you need empathy or strategy, and how to show up for people by asking for it.

Takeaways:

1- Our friends are so important to our mental health, and when they have problems we want to be there for them.

2- Everyone has a way they like to be supported, and knowing those needs helps us show up for ourselves and each other.

3- Notice your own needs through this filter too, so you can not just move past your feelings but grow through them.
Daily Mantra: I deserve support that works for me.
