When someone you care about is facing grief, illness, divorce, or any major life shake-up, it’s easy to worry about saying the wrong thing… and end up doing nothing. After my own cancer journey and recovery, I learned firsthand what truly helps and what doesn’t.
In this episode, we cover:

Why something is better than nothing (even if you feel awkward)


How to check in without adding pressure or expecting a reply


Offering specific, practical help instead of “Let me know if you need anything”


Caring for friends from afar: texts, cards, gift cards, meaningful little touches


Supporting friends nearby: homemade food, errands, childcare, time together


What not to do when you're trying to help



A gentle reminder:
You don’t have to be perfect, just present. Plucky helps! Small gestures of care go a long way.
