After The Tones Drop

Sharing the Load: When Giving Your All Means Less Than Half

This episode, we're unpacking a concept that's been a game changer for us and many others: the idea that relationships don't need to be 50/50 all the time but should rather aim for 100% collectively, however that splits. Inspired by Brene Brown's insights on vulnerability and support, we're talking about how sometimes, you might only have 20% to give, and that's perfectly okay—as long as the people in your life are ready to step up and fill in the rest.

We're also sharing our harrowing week battling an epic Ohio snowstorm, making every commute an adventure. Plus, our hearts are with everyone affected by the devastating wildfires in California. We had the chance to chat with a LA County firefighter just days before the fires erupted, and the stories of bravery and resilience are nothing short of inspiring.

So, whether you're giving 10% or 90% today, remember, it's about finding balance, communication, and mutual support. We've seen relationships transform through this understanding and hope you can take away something that helps you look at your interactions a little differently.
