The Cost Of Staying

There’s a difference between being pushed through something and being given a door you can walk back through if you need to. Most of us have spent years on the receiving end of the push. The well-meaning rush toward the outcome. The certainty someone else had about what we’d be better off doing — offered before we’d had a chance to sit with our own hesitation long enough to hear what it was trying to tell us. This is a conversation about the pause before someone tries again. About what it costs to honor that pause instead of filling it. And about a five year old at the edge of a pool who taught me more about trust in one afternoon than years of sitting with other people’s stories ever had. No framework. No steps. Just a quiet afternoon and what it left behind. — Story House is a space for people who believe that how we tell our story shapes how we live it.
