Not every uncomfortable moment needs to be fixed.⁠
⁠
When someone is stressed, we often want to make things easier. So we rush in, soften what we say, and reassure them.⁠
⁠
Sometimes that care is needed.⁠
⁠
Other times, we remove the lesson along with the discomfort.⁠
⁠
A parent may know their child needs a boundary or a challenge, then back away because they don’t want to be disliked.⁠
⁠
Adults do this with each other too.⁠
⁠
We call it empathy.⁠
⁠
We call it keeping the peace.⁠
⁠
Sometimes we care more about being liked than doing what care requires.⁠
⁠
Care is not measured by how little discomfort we create.⁠
⁠
Sometimes it is measured by whether we are willing to risk being disliked in order to say what needs to be said.⁠
⁠
Some discomfort is trying to teach us something.⁠
⁠
And sometimes caring for someone means letting it.⁠
⁠
Joel and Antonia explore these patterns through live coaching.⁠
