As change-makers, receiving support is one of the most important things we can teach ourselves, because only together will we solve the problems that the world faces today. Listen in if you’ve struggled with receiving support or feel like you’re better off doing things on your own.  My hope is that you leave this episode with an openness to invite your dream team into your life.  

What’s in this episode for you:

  • A story of how good our accomplishments can feel when we don’t do them alone

  • How illness forever changed my relationship with receiving

  • The 5 people to have by your side as you go through life

  • An exciting announcement of an upcoming opportunity to be together

Poem: Starlings in winter by Mary Oliver

Chunky and noisy,
but with stars in their black feathers,
they spring from the telephone wire
and instantly

they are acrobats
in the freezing wind.
And now, in the theater of air,
they swing over buildings,

dipping and rising;
they float like one stippled star
that opens,
becomes for a moment fragmented,

then closes again;
and you watch
and you try
but you simply can't imagine

how they do it
with no articulated instruction, no pause,
only the silent confirmation
that they are this notable thing,

this wheel of many parts, that can rise and spin
over and over again,
full of gorgeous life.

Ah, world, what lessons you prepare for us,
even in the leafless winter,
even in the ashy city.
I am thinking now
of grief, and of getting past it;

I feel my boots
trying to leave the ground,
I feel my heart
pumping hard. I want

to think again of dangerous and noble things.
I want to be light and frolicsome.
I want to be improbable

Tools for change:

Take a look at your life and ask yourself if you have these people in it. If not, set your intention to find them. 

  • Cheerleader – loyal, cheering you on no matter what crazy idea you bring forth

  • Challenger – encourages you to think bigger than what you are thinking

  • Push you out of your comfort zone – see when you’re playing safe, and ask you to do differently

  • Motivator / Mentor – way ahead of you, can guide you

  • Safe space – tell deepest fears to, get angry with, be messy together

Thanks to Sandra Yancey, the CEO of eWomen Network for inspiring these ideas.
