Welcome to another heartfelt episode of "Listen Up Younger Self" with your host, Heather Solomon.

Let’s talk about what real support looks like when someone you love is going through hell. In this short but powerful mini, I’m sharing a simple phrase I heard from a friend that hit me like truth lightning: Shut up, show up, and follow up. Whether someone’s grieving, divorcing, or in crisis—this is the episode that’ll make you rethink how you show up.

We’re skipping the performative stuff and getting honest about presence over pep talks, quiet comfort over quick fixes, and why Brené Brown says silence can shut down connection.

Send this one to the friend who needs it—or maybe just listen with your own heart wide open.

Connect with me, I'd love any suggestions for future episodes.
