When Support Systems Fail: Reimagining Your Inner Circle

They Call Me Mista Yu

Hey, Friends and Family.

Even in the months of the podcast season when things are slow, we have content for you. Our team thought it a great idea to start reviewing previous (but timely) episodes of our show during the times that Mista Yu is away from the microphone. All of these episodes (or beautiful Blasts from the Past) were previously broadcast, but we are sharing them with you at a time when you might need them most. Hope you enjoy!

ONE TO GROW ON:

This blast from the past hits harder than most! Finger pointing and the blame game rule the day but who escorted these people into our environments. Maybe this episode will help assign the blame squarely where it belongs!

• Drawing from dental hygiene's "tiny circles" technique, this approach to relationships requires repetition, consistency, and discipline
• We naturally categorize people into three sections: "any" (acquaintances kept at arm's length), "some" (people with some equity in our lives), and "few" (our trusted inner circle)
• The problem isn't having categories, but placing the wrong people in the wrong positions based on poor evaluation
• When support systems fail, it's similar to back pain—debilitating but not permanent
• Social media has complicated our ability to maintain boundaries, exposing us to influences we might not want
• Being friendly and compassionate doesn't mean giving everyone equal access to your life
• If relationships that worked in the past no longer bear fruit, it may be time to "cut that tree down and replant"
