Speaking "Sarahnese"
This podcast is not just fitness and nutrition, although that will be an episode or two. Since I am a multifaceted human, the Podcast needs to be to.
My vision for this podcast is to share stories of others in their own unique “language” and to share with you and the world how me, a 40 something year old menopausal neurodivergent dilixic woman goes through it.
Speaking "Sarahnese"
Episode8: "You know them?" Surrounding yourself with people who think differently than you.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
OOOooo Babe, this topic is a HOT one! I truly feel like it is the one subject that will knock down any friendship or relationship within seconds.
In this episode I dive into why I think keeping your circle colorful, full of different opinions, backgrounds and political views is the smart healthy thing to do.
I am always going to share my opinions and speak Sarahnese boldly, but I also will bite my tongue and sit back in silence to learn, to hear others. Not out of stupidity or lack of intellect but to truly understand them, not hear them waiting to pounce with hateful words to win an argument at all cost.
I share in this episode that I struggle with chatting it up with someone who thinks differently than I do, not that they have different view points, but 99% of the time it's because I find they just are not open minded enough to listen to me and understand where I am coming from. The conversation seems loaded to convince me to agree or they want me to give them validation for their feelings.
I discuss why I apply distance with these friends & family. It's never to cut them out completely, but to set boundaries of fair play and to keep relationships undamaged and whole.
