Thanks For Asking

Help, I Said the Wrong Thing!


Listen Later

Breaking news: humans make mistakes. This is not a bad thing! Our mistakes are how we learn and grow, and we have to get comfy with accepting that mistakes are an uncomfortable part of the human experience. 

But what happens when we say the wrong thing at the wrong time to someone that we love during the worst time of their life? And what happens when they can’t forgive you right away? What happens when your best try just… doesn’t land?

This listener reached out because they tried to comfort a friend whose child had just died and it…did not go well. .

If you’ve ever made a mistake and wanted to slam your head into the wall because of it – or maybe were on the receiving end of a mistake? – this episode is for you.

Call or text me with your mistake at 612.568.441.
