Choosing to STAY During Challenging Times

This week, we’re diving into an essential topic for these times - how to stay through difficult experiences with others. I’ll talk about the importance of staying with discomfort for the benefit of our community and the more-than-human world around us. Plus we’ll talk about the key elements we need to help stay through the challenging times as well as when to say, “Thanks but no thanks!” and leave with integrity.

You will learn:

// Why discomfort is inescapable in any community… and how it’s a GOOD thing

// Why it’s important to stay present through the discomfort if we want fundamental change

// The difference between staying through discomfort and tolerating bullshit

// When to LEAVE

// The key elements we need to cultivate so we can stay through the challenging moments

Resources:

// Episode 1: Why we tolerate and how to stop

// Episode 29: Should I Stay or Should I Go?

// Episode 37: How to Disagree Like a Buddha
