In this episode, Shannon unpacks the concept of considering the upstream. She shares a personal experience where her husband encouraged her to consider what might be in someone's upstream to understand their behavior. Shannon emphasizes the importance of understanding our own upstream and how it shapes our responses and relationships. She encourages listeners to plot their life experiences and identify patterns to gain a deeper understanding of their upstream. By considering the upstream of others and ourselves, we can develop empathy, compassion, and healthier ways of relating to one another.
