from The Opposite of Small Talk · host Danielle McCombs & Kristy Olinger

There comes a time in most people's lives where a health or personal crisis requires them to ask for help.  Why if it is a fairly common human experience, does it feel so hard for many of us to do?  In this episode Marisa Renee Lee, author of "Waiting for Dawn: Living with Uncertainty," available now, shares with Danielle and Kristy her experience with long COVID and reveals how living well amid profound unpredictability can actually change everything. When her plans to support loved ones shifted to needing support herself, she uncovered a powerful framework for resilience, one built on ruthless honesty, strategic delegation, and an unwavering commitment to hope.
