Consideration Is a Sign of Respect
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Are you exhausted from being the only one who notices? The only one who picks up? The only one who remembers? Yeah. Me too. Let's talk about it.
In this episode, I'm diving into something that should be simple but apparently isn't: consideration. Because consideration isn't just a nicety — it's a sign of respect. And right now? It's in short supply.
We're covering three very different situations where consideration went completely missing:
⚡ The USA Hockey moment — When the men's team laughed it up with the President while their female teammates stood right there, wondering what just happened. We talk about what consideration looks like when you share a team, a room, and a win.
🏠 The Mom Report — The backpack on the stairs. The towel on the floor. The milk with one sip left put back in the fridge. It's never just one thing — it's the accumulation, and what that accumulation says about how much our time and energy is valued.
💔 The Invisible Wife — For every woman who is holding everything together and wondering if anyone notices. This one hits different.
Whether you're a frustrated mom, a wife who feels taken for granted, or someone who loves one of those women and wants to do better — this episode is for you.
