I have done this, and you probably heard other people who have done the same. When we meet people who are going through a difficult time, we are quick to say comforting words to them, in an attempt to make them feel better.
But what is the real reason behind this? Why do we want other people to feel better? What is wrong with experiencing the other side of life?
In this week's episode, I talk about why we are so preoccupied with making other people feel better.
Take a listen.

What Is That One Good Thing......?
Being diagnosed with life threatening cancer can be one of the most challenging situations one can go through. As a caregiver, you don’t have it easy either, walking beside your spouse as they go through this life altering experience, observing how your own mind brings up all the unprocessed stuff that you probably were not aware of until this time, can be nerve wrecking.
It is so easy to be grateful when things are going the way we want them to.. but studies show that gratitude helps us become resilient, gives us hope, in times of adversity.
In this episode I share a few stories of some caregivers and patients that found good things happened to them as a result of the cancer diagnosis. I hope you learn something.

Why It Is Okay To Sometimes Not Feel Positive!
You have probably been encouraged to be positive as your loved one is going through cancer treatments. Nothing wrong with that all...
However, I spoke to a caregiver who said that all this feeling positive all the time, was making her feel like she about to explode.
In today's episode, I talk about how to be positive, as well as the importance of creating space and learning from negative emotion.
