Summary

What does it mean when we are asked to “SHOW UP?” It can mean physically showing your presence when someone needs you or it can mean some more covert things like giving your time listening to a friend whose heart is breaking. Showing up is our human way of saying we care for one another and it looks different for everyone.  There is no “one right way” of showing up and perhaps that’s the beauty of it - it means YOU get to decide how YOU wish to show up for those you care about, taking into consideration your belief systems, your joys, your fears and your own opinions about what it means to show up. In this episode, I talk about how a friend that had died showed up for me and how I continue to honor him by trying to show up for myself and for those I love in the best ways I know how. I fail sometimes because I am constantly learning about what things work for me and what do not. But I still try to show up the best way I know how; by being completely, authentically me. That doesn’t come easy but when it does, boy, I show up selflessly. I also talk about what it means to show up for MYSELF. Something as easy as being brutally honest with myself about where I am in my journey allows me to honor my heart even when I am showing up for others. Especially then.  Life is hard and messy.  And we all need people to show up for us. How that will look like is entirely up to YOU. _________________________________________________________________________________ I hope you enjoy this episode and it resonates with you.

Episode Description

What does it mean when we are asked to “SHOW UP?”

It can mean physically showing your presence when someone needs you or it can mean some more covert things like giving your time listening to a friend whose heart is breaking. Showing up is our human way of saying we care for one another and it looks different for everyone.

There is no “one right way” of showing up and perhaps that’s the beauty of it - it means YOU get to decide how YOU wish to show up for those you care about, taking into consideration your belief systems, your joys, your fears and your own opinions about what it means to show up.

In this episode, I talk about how a friend that had died showed up for me and how I continue to honor him by trying to show up for myself and for those I love in the best ways I know how. I fail sometimes because I am constantly learning about what things work for me and what do not. But I still try to show up the best way I know how; by being completely, authentically me. That doesn’t come easy but when it does, boy, I show up selflessly.

I also talk about what it means to show up for MYSELF. Something as easy as being brutally honest with myself about where I am in my journey allows me to honor my heart even when I am showing up for others. Especially then.

Life is hard and messy.

And we all need people to show up for us.

How that will look like is entirely up to YOU.
