Description

Today’s question: “How do I know when to step in and help, and when to step back?”

Your messy adviser, Johan, gets real about the awkwardness we all feel when that pang of responsibility hits—especially when responding to needs in our circles but feeling unsure if we’re actually the “right” person for the job. With a little help from the story of Moses (yes, the famously reluctant helper) and a good dose of Canadian self-doubt, Johan invites us to examine what really qualifies us to care for others. If you’ve ever hesitated over the reply button or wished someone just a little more qualified would show up, this Summer Speedos conversation is sure to leave you both encouraged and entertained.
