Communicating our needs can be tough, but we can always offer ourselves and our friends the space to do it. Today we're learning from one of Shine's co-founders, Marah Lidey, about how to be clear on whether you need empathy or strategy, and how to show up for people by asking for it.

Takeaways:

1- Our friends are so important to our mental health, and when they have problems we want to be there for them.

2- Everyone has a way they like to be supported, and knowing those needs helps us show up for ourselves and each other.

3- Notice your own needs through this filter too, so you can not just move past your feelings but grow through them.
Daily Mantra: I deserve support that works for me.
