Elsa Kurt with Clay Novak | The Fine Line Between Comfort and Dismissal in Difficult Times

Ever wondered what you should be telling yourself but not others? We've got a mind-bender for you - "It could always be worse". Join us as we navigate this intriguing mantra, pointing out its potential merits but also its pitfalls. We're not suggesting you neglect your struggles, but rather frame them differently, turning the scales of your problems in your favor.

Through this episode, we aim to explore the curious balance between comfort and undermining someone's feelings, and how the phrase "It could always be worse" fits into this context. We discuss how this perspective shifting can serve as a coping mechanism during challenging times, whether you lean on faith, luck or chance. We also delve into why this phrase, while beneficial to our own mental health, may not be the best thing to say to others, especially during significant life crises. Embark on a journey with us that may just redefine how you approach life's difficulties.
