What do you say when you don't know what to say?So much of influence is sold as having the right words, at the right time. Words that get the outcome you want. Words that match your intention – words that result in exactly how you want the other party to feel. Words that, hopefully, support everyone in reaching a better outcome.And that's definitely a big part of it.However, where that doesn't help, is in those situations where there are no words. Or at least not good ones. Where even trying to find the right words, feels like an insult to the magnitude of what's happening. Recently I've found myself in quite frankly, too many of those moments. Moments of navigating sickness, loss and grief. Where not only can nothing I say make it any better – but everything I can think of to say, feels at the same time irrelevant, small and just plain useless.However, ironically, those are the moments we need to show up the most.So what do you say when words aren't enough?My guest today is someone whose work I have returned to time and time again - in moments of life where the complexity of ‘what' I want to say far outstrips my ability to articulate it. One of my favourite parts of this podcast is bringing you guests whose work I genuinely share with the people closest in my world. Emily McDowell is a writer, illustrator, speaker, teacher, entrepreneur, founder and creative director of Em & Friends. A company she began after her own cancer diagnosis, when it became clear that most sympathy cards don't reflect the relationships and complex emotions people REALLY have. The ones that are messy, beautiful, tricky, conflicting, and a whole bunch of everything in between.In 2015, Emily was named one of Slate's 10 Designers Who are Changing the World. In her own words she uses her unique breed of insight, design and humor to bring words to some of the most complicated moments of our life. Her first book, ‘There Is No Good Card For This: What To Say and Do When Life Gets Scary, Awful, and Unfair To People You Love', co-authored with Dr. Kelsey Crowe, should be required reading for anyone in relationship with another human being.More than anything else Emily embodies the phrase: ‘Showing up when it's hard'. Instagram: @emilyonlifeYou'll LearnWhat to say when you don't know what to say – and the power of truly showing up for someone in their darkest of times.How to sit between ‘what was' and ‘what's next' Why she recently quit social media (despite a following in the hundreds of thousands). Including the conflict we both feel about the impact social media has on the world, and our contribution as people who use it to share their ideas.References and links mentionedThe Influencer Code Masterclass Waitlisthttps://emandfriends.com/Thanks for tuning into this week's episode of the Inside Influence Podcast!

Kelsey Crowe, Ph.D. heads Empathy Bootcamp, a company that trains people to be more empathetic. She's also the author of There Is No Good Card for This. She's an expert in helping people find the best words to say to someone going through a tough time. Some of the things she talks about today are why it's so difficult for us to know what to say to someone who is in pain, the one phrase you can use in almost any situation, and the things you can do for someone who is going through a hard time. Whether someone you know has lost a loved one or they've been diagnosed with a serious illness, Kelsey will help you find the best words to say to them.

If you're anything like me, you probably love having a nice plan for your life… Some nice stability, order, structure… some might even say you've got a tight grip on control. [guilty face] I know that space quite well. But, what happens when your solidly formed plans get thwarted by something you could never have seen coming? How do you allow room for grief that your life is going in a totally different direction and still hold on to what matters most to you? How do you take care of yourself when you suddenly have to find a new home? Or recieve a scary diagnosis? Experience a death in the family? Learn your partner wants a divorce?  My dear friend, Michelle Ward, knows a thing or two or twenty about dealing with massive life curveballs. In 2011, she was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer in the midst of fertility treatment for the child she and her husband were desperately trying to conceive. Not only was she dealing with the new realization that having a baby would not at all be as easy as they had planned, but now that dream had to come to a screeching halt as she navigated this life-altering diagnosis. And, the curveballs kept coming. After going into remission, she was diagnosed with breast cancer AGAIN. I mean… how do you not just shake your fists at the Universe like, “WTF, lady!?”  In this week's show, Michelle and I have a candid conversation about what it looks like to reckon with new information that sends your world into a tailspin. We discuss the strategies she employed to cope, who was (and was not) a good person to lean on, and what it was like working through grief that took many different forms. If you feel like you can't catch a break, you'll want to tune and find out how to focus on the things you CAN control, even if that list feels like it's rapidly shrinking. And, believe me when I say, you are most certainly not alone. This pod explores: How Michelle wrote a bunch of songs on her ukulele to help her process her diagnosis and what you can do to process the curveballs you're up against (One song was comically called “Everyone's Your Friend When You Have Cancer”) What to do when folks in your life think you're done with your difficult chapter (ie. divorce is final, cancer in remission, etc.) and you are still racked with grief  How to know who you can trust with your story and who to stay away from Understanding that there will likely be moments when you need to take the low road just to survive   HIRE ME TO SPEAK AT YOUR EVENT! ACCESS ‘ENOUGHNESS'. POWERFULLY NAVIGATE FEAR. SPEAK UP FOR YOURSELF. I have three battle-tested (and badass) keynote speeches that are ready to be delivered to your company, organization, group, or association.

“What do you say to people after you get injured and their comment is ‘maybe your body is telling you something?' This phrase irritates the heck out of me. Of course I'm always looking for something to be learned from an injury but how do they know what MY body is telling ME? I'm reading REBOUND right now (so good) and there are so many athletes with repeated injuries who push through to come back stronger, which is exactly what I want to do. But I wonder how many people told those athletes “maybe your body is trying to tell you something?' What do you say to that annoying judgment?”   This week, co-host and mental skills coach Carrie Jackson answers a question from listener Erin.    Carrie describes her own gut reaction to seemingly insensitive comments—and how she takes a beat to respond more thoughtfully. Decide how YOU want to feel after these interactions, she advises, and then offers a few strategies you can take, from assuming good intent to deflecting to being straightforward about how hurtful something feels.   Listen to the show for more—and to submit a question for a future episode, email us a note or a voice memo to hello@injuredathletesclub.com.    New this season: We're asking listeners to support the show directly, which you can do at buymeacoffee.com/rebound.

The Emily Episode: Who is Quitted co-host Emily McDowell, how did she get here, and why does she want to talk about quitting stuff? This week, Emily shares the real story behind building a successful brand named after herself and based on her personality, and then, the painful reality of letting go of a dream, and an identity, in order to save both her company and herself. Holly and Emily cover a lot of ground in this hour, including the spiritual implications of “personal brand;” why bigger isn't always better; the pain we carry from not honoring endings; the loneliness that comes with responsibility; how quitting requires defying logic; and how it was possible for Emily, whose work was all about promoting empathy and healing, to have had so little empathy for herself. About Emily McDowell: Emily is a writer, illustrator, speaker, teacher, and entrepreneur who is fiercely committed to not doing all of those things at the same time. She's best-known as founder of the stationery brand Em & Friends (formerly Emily McDowell Studio), which makes cards and gifts for the relationships people really have. She also co-authored (with Dr. Kelsey Crowe) and illustrated the book There Is No Good Card For This: What To Say and Do When Life Gets Scary, Awful, and Unfair To People You Love; and she's the co-host of the Quitted podcast. Emily currently serves as creative director and SVP of strategy at the Who's There Group, home of Em & Friends and its sister brand Knock Knock.

Emily McDowell is a writer, illustrator, speaker, teacher, and entrepreneur who is fiercely committed to not doing all of those things at the same time. She is the founder and creative director of the brand Em & Friends, originally known as Emily McDowell Studio, and the co-host of Quitted, a podcast about quitting the big things in our lives, and what comes after. Emily's work has been featured by hundreds of major media outlets. Her book, There Is No Good Card For This: What To Say and Do When Life Gets Scary, Awful, and Unfair To People You Love, co-authored with Dr. Kelsey Crowe, was released in January 2017. In today's episode we discuss expressions of empathy, navigating trauma, mental health, and how quitting the familiar can bring a new level of hope and peace.

Struggling is an unfortunate part of the human condition, but how do we show up for our people when we see that they're struggling? When someone we love is suffering, we often want to fix it even if that's impossible. How can we show up for others and what should we say? Listen in as Tina and Serena talk about how they support others and what things are helpful (and not helpful) to say to our people when they struggle. Episode Mentions:There is No Good Card for This: What to Say and Do When Life is Scary, Awful and Unfair to People You Love by Kelsey Crowe and Emily McDowellEmily McDowell and Friends Cards and Products emandfriends.comThe Art of Showing Up: How to Be There For Yourself and Your People by Rachel Wilkerson MillerVisit our website: NoNeedToExplainPodcast.comLike us on Facebook!Find us on Instagram @noneedtoexplainpodcastWe love to hear from you!

Listening well isn’t an easy skill for most of us. We like to talk, and in a culture that values productivity and solutions above all else, simply listening can often feel like we’re not being useful. Dr. Kelsey Crowe, author of There is No Good Card for This, thinks differently.  An empathy coach and founder of the nonprofit, Help Each Other Out, Kelsey knows a thing or two about listening—making it her mission in life to teach us how to empathize in an increasingly self-centered world. On this episode of The Sidewalk Talk podcast, Traci and Kelsey laugh and listen together, talking about all things empathy, connection, and attention.  Throughout their conversation, Kelsey shares with us her three basic rules on empathy for idiots, how we can ask for the attention we need, and the value of gestures. Especially during a season where we’re dealing with more uncertainty than ever, empathy is so important—not just for others, but also for ourselves. If you’re looking for a practical guide to becoming a better listener, and better person and friend in the process, look no further than this dynamic and empathetic conversation between Traci and Kelsey.    Episode Milestones [00:07] Intro  [02:24] Meet Kelsey  [06:51] What Kelsey discovered about empathy  [09:45] Kelsey’s rules on empathy for idiots everywhere  [15:09] Why it’s hard for us to not be useful  [22:23] How we ask for the attention we need  [26:23] The value of gestures  [31:25] What Kelsey’s working on next  [34:39] Sidewalk Talk in Germany and during COVID-19  [37:17] Listening during conflict  [40:26] How can we show up differently for others during COVID  [44:55] Kelsey’s wish for you  [46:40] Outro    Resources Mentioned There is No Good Card for This: What to say and do when life is scary, awful, and unfair to people you love Help Each Other Out The Empathy Bootcamp   Standout Quotes from the Episode “The value of hearing someone else, truly hearing, cannot be underestimated.” —Kelsey Crowe  “If we’re thinking about how we’re going to respond, we’re not truly taking in what somebody’s feeling.” —Kelsey Crowe  “When people are talking, they don’t only want to be validated. Sometimes it’s actually an opportunity for them to understand and build their experience in the course of telling it. And providing people the space to do that is tremendous.” —Kelsey Crowe  “We find that listening is unproductive, that it’s not useful, when it’s so useful. So our definition of what’s useful has to expand to include presence and attention. Attention is useful.” —Kelsey Crowe  “We need to figure out more and more ways to display emotional intelligence that’s beyond just how we talk to people.” —Kelsey Crowe    Connect: Find | Sidewalk Talk Podcast At sidewalk-talk.org On Instagram: @sidewalktalkorg On Twitter: @sidewalktalkorg   Find | Traci Ruble At Traciruble.com On Instagram: @TraciRubleMFT On Twitter: @TraciRubleMFT On Facebook: @TraciRubleMFT

2020 has turned up the volume on our need for empathy and love! In 2018, Kelsey Crowe and I talked about how to get better at offering true empathy.

Kelsey Crowe found that many people in her own life had a hard time being there for her through her own most difficult moments. Then she noticed that she was not great at it either! It became her mission to learn and teach the skills that lead to a sense that we are loved, supported, and trusted to find our own solutions. The book she co-authored with Emily McDowell, There is No Good Card for This, is a practical guide to support. Her organization, Help Each Other Out, offers valuable services for becoming more empathically wise and offering greater compassion to the people in we care about.

In this episode Damon speaks to Kelsey Crowe, Ph.D., author of There is No Good Card for This: What to do and say when life is scary, awful and, unfair to the people you love. Kelsey and Damon discuss what stops us from asking for help, how to show up for people who are suffering, and coping with grief at work. What do you say to a colleague who is grieving? Whether someone is experiencing a personal or professional setback, it’s tempting to shy away from uncomfortable topics. This episode will help you approach these important conversations and minimize the fear of saying the wrong thing. If you enjoyed this episode, subscribe and leave us an honest review.

I think we can all agree, it’s been a rough spring with COVID-19 taking over our lives. You may know someone who’s sick, or who’s lost a loved one or their livelihood, or any number of awful things. But as this all goes down, we don’t always know what to say, or do, for someone who’s hurting, let alone asking for the help we might need ourselves. My guest Kelsey Crowe wrote a book, “There is No Good Card For This. What to Say and Do When Life is Scary, Awful, and Unfair to the People You Love” and founded a whole community called Help Each Other Out, to help us help each other. We spoke in 2017 and I thought we could all use a bit of what she calls “whiskey for the wounded.” Support our production with a monthly or one-time contribution!

What do you say to a friend or family member that is hurting? Whether it be from illness, grief, miscarriage, infertility or any of the other ups and downs we can come across in life, there are moments when we just don’t quite have the words to say to comfort our loved ones. Today I am speaking with Emily McDowell, a writer, illustrator, speaker and teacher who after overcoming cancer and losing a friend to cancer a short time later, decided to bring a product to market that would help both the person on the giving and receiving end. Emily created stationery products that would help express what people are feeling but don’t know how to put into words. We talk about her business and why she merged with another company.

Every single day, we are faced with bad news. I’m not talking about your favorite MAC lipstick shade being discontinued. I’m talking about wildfires in California, hurricanes in Puerto Rico, earthquakes in Iran. It can seem dang near impossible to find a glimmer of light in a world so fraught with tragedy. But take heart in the stories that give you hope, like the homeless veteran who spent his last 20 bucks on gas to help a stranded female motorist, and the more than 14,000 people who donated $400,000 to that good-hearted man. Today, channel the good stuff. The post Kelsey Crowe: She’s an Emphatic Empathizer appeared first on On The Dot Woman.

Lisa compares this podcast episode to Stone Soup, where different people add ingredients to make a nourishing finished product. If you’re unfamiliar with the story, you can read more about stone soup on Wikipedia. Lisa gives an update on her firned and talks about good health for caregivers. Mel shares her story about being diagnosed with osteopenia, and what can be done to treat this condition. In a recent blog about bone health, Mel piqued Lisa’s curiosity when she mentioned sardines. They found that neither of them had ways to use them, short of eating them out of the can. The resulting research is a discussion about the topic, and a blog post containing some creative uses. Then, we discuss the book There Is No Good Card for This: What to Say and Do When Life Is Scary, Awful, and Unfair to People You Love By Emily McDowell, Kelsey Crowe. We have linked to this book on Audible because it, in Lisa’s opinion, offers the most complete reading experience. Mel concludes by reminding everyone that the new Balance and Stretch Bundle is available for purchase. Visit the above link to check out the individual workouts as well.

Most of us don’t know what to say when we are grieving or how to reach out when the people we love go through something awful. Dr. Kelsey Crowe’s own experiences with grief helped her realize that so many people suffer alone because the people around them don’t know what to do or say. So Kelsey actually shifted her career focus to understand what grieving people want, and what they don’t. She surveyed 900 people about their experiences with grief, founded Help Each Other Out to provide empathy bootcamps, and wrote a book about what she learned. The title of her book sums it up: There is No Good Card for this: What to say and do when life is scary, awful and unfair to people you love.* Lauren talks with Kelsey about what she learned and how we can all help each other out.

I loved visiting with Calla and know that you are going to adore her as much as I did!

Christina Levasheff had a beautiful and simple life with her husband, young son, and infant daughter.  When her 29 month old son, Judson, began to show some atypical physical symptoms, Christina and her husband began the process of seeking medical attention to discover what was going on.  After some incorrect diagnoses, Judson was ultimately diagnosed with Krabbe Leukodystrophy Disease, a genetic disease that destroys the white matter in the brain.  In just five months, the Levasheffs watched their bright and active two year old lose vision, speech, and all body movements to eventual death.  Throughout the short but intense suffering, Judson retained his mental functioning and joy.  As with all the stories told through Tears of Gold, this is a story of suffering and heartache, but it is also a story of how God met Christina in her pain.  It is a story of how the compassionate Lord gathered her in His arms and comforted her in ways only the good Father can.  And how God has taken that pain and transformed it into a ministry of hope to walk alongside others in their pain.  Christina and her husband, Drake, and their daughter, Jessie use Judson's Legacy to bless the children and families walking a similar journey they did.  I pray you'll be blessed as you hear Christina's sharing in this episode.
