Amy & Kat both share how life experiences have helped them have more compassion and understanding for what someone else might be going through. Kat tells us the difference between a complaint and criticism (this is important to know for any relationship!) 
Today's quote: “Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, you'll be a mile from them, and you'll have their shoes." ― Jack Handy
Listener email: Amy read a note from a listener who's had a hard year. Hopefully you feel encouraged after hearing it to have the holiday season you need to have.

Last week we had Walker Hayes on for the 3rd time and this week we have Steven Young back for a 3rd time. Steven is the Founder of 'Home Street Home' and he has a very bittersweet story of redemption (he was homeless for 5 years and then 10 years ago made a change and started a ministry serving the homeless!) You'll hear some of Steven's story weaved into today's episode, but if you want more of his fascinating life story in full....listen to his 2 previous chats with Amy: ep. 96 (from Dec 2019) and ep. 256 (from June 2021)
The theme of today's episode was a surprise to Steven and it's truly special hearing him share in this way (through 4 different poems/stories....a gift of his that Amy wanted to highlight) and the discussions of hope + healing that follow each one. The 4 poems/stories are linked below if you want to reference later or share with others:
1- May 1st, What Was Almost the Beginning of the End
2- 68 Years of Yesterdays
3- When the Petals Die...
4- That Still Small Voice

Amy & Steven also talk about ways you can support our homeless friends during the summer months or any time of year for that matter. One of the ways won't cost you a penny. :)

At the End of Your Rope? Don't Give Up, What Is Coming is Better Than What Is Gone

“The truth is, sometimes you need to get where no one can stop you before you even tell people where you are going. It’s a lot like chess. You build your strategy in silence, move your pieces in silence and the only time you talk is when you say ‘check mate.’”
—Vivian Tu (@your.richbff)
