                                            Suffering has a role in life, but what happens if it takes center stage? CA and Jaime explore how we can break free from looking at our trauma as a main fixture of our identity and learn to let our suffering be a part of who we are and not all of who we are.

                                            Notes:

                                            • The role of suffering in our lives

                                            • Suffering as “part of our lives” vs suffering as the goal

                                            • Is suffering a path to holiness?

                                            • Identifying ourselves with our baggage

                                                        We often find ourselves offering help by way of the phrase, “let me know what I can do to help,” but have we ever stopped to think about how incredibly unhelpful that may be? Jaime and CA explore how to actually provide real support for people who are going through a tough time, for whatever reason, by not just making it easier on the person suffering, but by being proactive about it.

                                                        Notes:

                                                        • Actually providing support vs providing intention to support

                                                        • What if we want to help someone but can’t?

                                                        • Be brave enough to be wrong and take risks
