    68. A Wooden Leg Doesn’t Make You a Table
    Sep 9 2026
    We all judge. Other people. Situations. Ourselves. Most of the time, we don't even realize we're doing it. Our brains take the little bit of information we have and quickly decide what it means. And sometimes that judgment turns into certainty. In this episode, I start with a ridiculously clever comeback from Alice Cooper involving long hair, a wooden leg, and an Australian interviewer who wasn't known for his tact. Then we get into something we ALL do…make judgments based on very limited information. I share the psychology behind the fundamental attribution error, why we're so much better at explaining our own behavior than someone else's, and what happens when “this is how I'm experiencing this person” becomes “this is who this person IS.” Because having a judgment isn't really the problem. Believing our first interpretation is the whole story can be. And this applies to how we judge ourselves, too. So rather than trying to become a completely nonjudgmental human…we'll talk about getting better at noticing the judgments we're already making and creating enough space to ask…What did I actually observe...and what did I add? And maybe...What else could be true? Also, my new small-group experience, Navigate Your DASH, begins at the end of September.

    67. What Am I Missing?
    Aug 16 2026
    When someone does something that makes absolutely no sense to us, it’s easy to jump straight to some version of...What is WRONG with you? But what if we got curious instead? In this episode, I share one simple question that can completely change how we respond to other people, ourselves, and the situations we don’t fully understand: What am I missing? We’re constantly filling in gaps with our own interpretations...what someone meant, why they behaved a certain way, what their actions say about them, or even what our own behavior says about us. And then we respond to those interpretations as though they’re facts. But what we can see is rarely the whole story. I talk about how this creates unnecessary friction in our relationships and work, why we’re often halfway through fixing a problem before we actually understand it, and how asking better questions can give us access to information we might otherwise miss. Because... Curiosity gives us access to information that certainty does not. And this applies to how we see ourselves, too. Before deciding you need to be more disciplined, more consistent, or simply try harder...what might you be missing? Sometimes the answer really IS to get off your butt and do the thing. But sometimes there’s something underneath the behavior that’s worth understanding first. In this episode, I also share more about Navigate Your Dash, my new small-group experience starting at the end of September. We’ll explore ourselves, the people around us, and the patterns shaping how we experience life and work...not so we can find more things to fix, but so we can better understand what’s actually happening and navigate it differently.

  • 66. How to Support Someone Through Life's Hardest Moments with Laura Bratton

    66. How to Support Someone Through Life's Hardest Moments with Laura Bratton
    Jul 29 2026

    What do you do when someone you love is going through something that isn't going to be "fixed"? When life changes permanently…through illness, loss, disability, divorce, grief, or another life-altering circumstance…we often want so badly to help. But sometimes the most loving support isn't what we instinctively think it is. In this conversation with Laura Bratton, we move beyond Laura's incredible story of losing her sight as a teenager (discussed in Episode 62), and we explore what her family did that empowered her to build a meaningful, independent life...and what all of us can learn from their example. Laura shares practical wisdom for anyone supporting a loved one through difficult circumstances, reminding us that while we can't always change someone's situation, we can help them remember who they are beyond it. In this episode, we discuss:

    • Why your identity should never become your struggle.
    • How to remind people of who they still are…not just what they're going through.
    • The difference between empowering someone and enabling them.
    • Why giving people choices is one of the greatest gifts we can offer.
    • How Laura's parents balanced compassion with accountability.
    • Why supporting someone doesn't mean sacrificing your own well-being.
    • The importance of asking for help…and accepting it.
    • Letting go of other people's judgments when supporting those you love.
    • Why laughter can be one of the most healing tools we have.
    • The power of gratitude, even when life feels incredibly hard.
    • Why you don't always have to talk about the hard thing.
    • Practical ways to support someone without making assumptions about what they need.

    One of my favorite reminders from Laura…"Empowerment is an act of love." This conversation is filled with wisdom for parents, spouses, friends, caregivers, leaders, and anyone walking alongside someone facing a difficult season. Whether you're the one struggling or the one trying to help, I hope it reminds you that none of us has to navigate life's hardest moments alone. If this episode encouraged you, I'd love for you to share it with someone who could use it. You never know who might need the reminder that they're more than what they're going through.

    About Laura

    At the age of nine, Laura was diagnosed with an eye disease and faced the difficult reality that she would become blind. Over the next ten years she experienced the traumatic transition of adjusting to life without sight. Laura adjusted to her new normal and was able to move forward in life as she graduated from Arizona State University with a BA in psychology. She then was the first blind student to receive her Masters of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary. She is the author of the book, Harnessing Courage. Laura founded Ubi Global, which is an organization that provides speaking and coaching to empower all people to overcome challenges and obstacles with grit and gratitude.
