In this episode, we are talking about the meaning of the word sonder, the realization that everyone has a life as complex as one's own. It’s a timely way of thinking as we all reflect on how we are showing up in our countries current climate.
This year has been a tough one. It has been a year of economic setbacks and, as of recently, a movement for change. Jessica begins this episode reflecting with Steve and Matt on today’s cultures and their sense of responsibility to understand the crusade for change and reflect on how they personally want to show up for it.
The open conversion about current events happens to unintentionally tie into the planned discussion for this week’s episode. Jessica wanted to talk about her experiences with counselors. After a negative counseling experience, she found one counselor who taught her something so relevant to her situation, but something that is also extraordinarily relevant today.
Jessica’s counselor compared life to a movie, explaining that she is her own star in her life and a supporting actress in the lives of others around her. She learned that she fit into Matt’s story, but his personal life is full of complexities he is figuring out as the star. Looking at the bigger picture of today, you never know the complexities someone else may be experiencing. It’s not your movie. Together we can work together to understand everyone's roles and not only be supporting actresses and actors, but a support system.
