  • Strong people are human, too (featuring Kyle Ibahay)
    Aug 29 2024

    We are BACK people. We missed y’all. Life was definitely life’ing, but we’re back to give y’all what you need. On this episode, Brandon discusses with his brother from another mother, Kyle, on his journey coming back to the US from the Philippines (6:50). While being out there, Kyle talks about his cousin’s passing (16:45), and how he used people around him to distract him from his pain. Then, Brandon expresses how checking in on people with accountability is the key to a healthy relationship (22:30). Lastly, being friends for over 20 years, they both discuss the importance of understanding your definition of being a good person and friend (31:30).

    The nugget for the day: Think about those who support you in your times of need. Consider how you can offer meaningful support that lets them know how much you care and how much they matter, no matter how “strong” they seem.
