About this episode

In this episode, Josie reflects on effort in relationships and shares a personal story that challenges her assumptions about care and communication.

In this episode, I revisit last week’s conversation about effort in relationships and share a personal story that made me pause and reflect on my own assumptions. There was a time when I interpreted a missed gesture as a lack of care, but with more context, I realized there was more going on beneath the surface than I had allowed myself to see. This episode explores how quickly we can create meaning around someone’s actions, the stories we tell ourselves in the moment, and how shifting perspective can sometimes lead to a deeper understanding. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Want that chapter checklist just Click Here!
