Lauren & Lindsay provide helpful tips from Karen Faith on receiving imperfect communication through a baseball analogy and playing catch. First, Karen advises that if a pitch comes in sideways, we should run for the ball, meaning that we should offer grace and assume the best intentions. Next, Karen tells us that there is a time to coach the pitcher, but it’s not during the game, reminding us to pause, process, and provide feedback at a later and, hopefully, less emotional, time. Finally, she tells us that when playing with a new pitcher, we should always wear a helmet, meaning that we must protect ourselves and our boundaries even when the people around us won’t change or abide by them.
