Ep 19 - Holding Space for Friends, Family & Colleagues

Season 1: Episode 20 - Holding Space For Others (Q&A Episode)

Sometimes the person who is changing is NOT you, but a friend, a family member, a child or a colleague. How do you support them in a healthy way without feeling a crutch, or promoting codependency?

In this Q&A episode, Zanele answers this question and others that will answer what it means to hold space for other changing people (loved ones or not), and even how to change our perspective on what it means to be supported by others when we change.

Lots of unlearning to be done in this key area, so this episode is one you’ll really enjoy and get some practical tips from!

In this episode, Zanele responds to the following questions;

• What does it mean to ‘hold space’? 

• Do you have to have a closeness to hold space for a person?

• What to do if a person is resisting my support?

• How to be empathetic even when you feel the person might be acting in-genuinely?

If someone close to you is going through a transition, change or transformation - this episode will help you know exactly how to support them on their journey.
