Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Frances talks about how to love and support people who always seem to have a raincloud over their heads. If you’ve got a friend or relative who lives in constant complaint or self-pity, you’ll learn how to stay compassionate without getting pulled under yourself.How to stay connected without drowning: • Pause before you respond.Take a breath. Remind yourself their emotions don’t have to become yours. • Gently guide the conversation.Ask, “What’s one thing going okay for you right now?”Or “Tell me something that made you smile today.” • Know it’s okay to pull back.If they keep circling the drain, change the subject or wrap it up kindly.Tiny breadcrumb for today:Offer empathy—but guard your peace.That’s how you keep loving them… and still have energy left to love yourself.
