Show Notes

Join us for another episode of Chronicles! We're back together for a conversation on advice, empathy, and connection. In this episode, we share personal stories about the best advice we've ever received, as well as the times where what we or others offered felt like it missed the mark. We touch on when concern feels more like unhealthy comparisons or gossip, and the awkwardness of wellness tips or medical advice at the wrong time. We also talk about the times when there's nothing to say and the most helpful thing anyone can do is to listen. We conclude with the idea of connection over advice, sharing some of our most meaningful moments where support and empathy was offered at just the right time.
