Hi Cadre spear. Hello, hello. Hi, welcome, welcome. It's Wednesday. May 6th. Already. It's lunchtime here in Minnesota. I'm repping my Minnesota Timberwolves sweatshirt. We're looking for a a big win tonight against the San Antonio Spurs. I'm Christy Larson. If we have not met, it's great to have you here. It's great to meet you. It's always a little encouraging to have people pop in and say hi. So if that's if you're around, pop in and say hi. I am sitting here kind of staring out the window at all the bird activity that's happening in the springtime.
I love it because everything kind of comes back to life. So it's always so much fun to see that. Welcome. Thank you for coming. I love my time with the Cadre Sphere. It is definitely a day maker, a week maker every time I get to come in here and see you all. I was thinking the other day about this I Got You. And the reason it came to light was last weekend my husband and I were putting our dock and our boat and our boat lift in and we couldn't do it alone, right? He was struggling. I was struggling.
And we had these moments of like, oh my gosh, help. I got you. I got you. I got you. I'll come help. And it got me thinking about all the moments that we do that in a day or in a week or in a month. Whether it's someone helping us and saying I got you or whether it's You saying I got you, right? But recognizing that someone needs something, whether it's they're carrying something heavy or they need someone to just help them out, but they're not sure how to ask or they're afraid to ask, just knowing that in the past you have said I got you can mean the world of difference for people.
I was also thinking about it in terms of our furry friends, right? Sometimes if we're feeling sad or anxious or unsure about something, our furry friends recognize that and they come in and they say, I got you. I got you. I'll snuggle with you today or I'll curl up on the lap. And it's just another way for us to not necessarily have to recognize it in ourselves that we need that, but be able to let somebody else in, right? Let somebody come in and say I got you and you just say great because I need that.
I have a close friend of mine who has a middle schooler who is graduating middle school alongside a bunch of other of her parent friends at that same school and I was having a conversation with her and She was feeling a loss of community because everybody was going to be kind of graduating and moving on and they all weren't going to the same high school. And I was there to lend an ear to listen. to recognize, to understand, to validate those feelings. And I think that's really important to think about in moments like that where you see someone who just needs an ear to listen or who just wants someone to be able to express an emotion to and not feel judged or not feel anxious about how they're going to respond.
And I think that's really important when we're when we're thinking about this I got you is like if you have been there in the past for someone, they want you in the room when they need you. And I found that too in my professional career. People have said, I'm scared to speak up in a meeting. This is me saying this. I'm scared sometimes to speak up in a meeting because I don't know how the response is going to be, whether it's the people that are in the room or whether it's the thing that I'm about to say.
I've had people in the room who I know are going to have my back, whether they agree or disagree, they are going to honor the voice that I have and they're going to recognize that it's important to allow that voice to speak. I think it's really important because then what you want is you want them in the room the next time. You want them to be the ones that are there saying, Hey, I got you. And I'm here and I hear you and I validate that or I recognize that or I appreciate that. And if you can be that person and you have that person, you can be very, very lucky to have those conversations with those people.
I also have had friends going through either tough decisions or a life change, or maybe they're starting a new job or they're learning something new. They feel like they just need a cheerleader. And I got you cheerleader, right? Someone who's going to say, hey, I know you can do this. You got this. I'm here to help. I'm here to support. I'll be here no matter what you need. That helps sometimes move things forward for people. I know for me, for sure, if I've got somebody in my corner cheering me on, it makes me feel a lot safer to take that leap or do that thing or say those words.
And again, if you can be that person, they're gonna want you around, right? They're gonna want you in the room. And I think that's really important. So those are the things I was thinking about this week. So if you're carrying something heavy or you need somebody, But you're afraid to ask, I got you. And I think you'll have me when I need you to. So take care, Cadre Sphere. Be well and always know that I got you. Have a great rest of your Wednesday. We'll see you next week, everybody. Go Wolves!
