00:00You ever had someone say to you, I don't feel supported.
00:03And your first thought is, wait, what?
00:05Because in your mind, you're thinking, I call, I show up, I'm here.
00:10So now you feel misunderstood, like they don't see the effort,
00:13as if they're erasing everything you've ever done.
00:15But here's where the mirror shows up.
00:17What if the version of you they're experiencing is not the same version you think you're giving?
00:21What if your version of being there is logistical, but what they needed is emotional?
00:26That's the disconnect nobody warns us about.
00:28The moment they voice what they're experiencing with you,
00:31your first instinct will be to defend, to hide behind the avatar you think you are showing up as,
00:36and not the one they're experiencing.
00:37So when somebody finally voices their experience with you,
00:40don't rush to edit their memory with your intention.
00:43Just hear it.
00:44Because in that moment, they're not asking you to fix it.
00:46They're asking you to understand it.
