"It sucks but I don't have it as bad as..."

We talked about comparative suffering this week - "feeling the need to see our own suffering in light of other people's pain. With this perspective, we start to rank our suffering and use it to deny or give ourselves permission to feel." 

Pio Terei joined us to discuss the etymology of the word 'aroha', and Petra spoke with registered psychologist Nettie Cullen, journalist and broadcaster Indira Stewart, and non-profit CEO Chris Clarke.

And thank you to everyone who sent their stories in about what felt hard this week. Arohanui to you all as you navigate those tough situations. 

Here are links to our two sacred texts this week -
