Main topic of the Show: What to Do When There Is Nothing You Can Do

#reach out (trite/stilted…dont read into a non response. Send a card or little gift)

#avoid discounting the pain or being that person who says turn that frown upside down. It is ok to be sad

#avoid sharing your similar sad story or anyone elses (two things, two friends…same day)

#Use your unique superpower to make their life a bit easier: (meal prep, childcare, offers of driving places, network,  whatever it is)

#check in a few days later… ask do you want, not do you need.

#check in week/weeks/months later. They may not reach out to you.

Life brings hard situations and we can help our friends and family by listening. Asking questions, sharing photos and good stories…and using our superpowers. What we cant do is wave a magic wand, bring someone back to life, or fix a relationship.

• Suggestion from Christopher that I do a podcast on how to start a home roasting business
• Website and other recommendations requested from Melissa
• Do you do tours of your homestead from Betsy
• Getting started on a homestead when you know little about permaculture from Jim
