In this episode of the Different podcast, Jill Rowe and Steve Chalke talk about why we sometimes struggle to ask for help, opting instead to deflect and blame rather than being vulnerable and asking for the help and support we need. From compression socks to the importance of boundaries and knowing ourselves so that we can be honest in our interactions and expectations, this conversation was full of lessons learned, simple stuff discovered in the mess of life, and the realisation that asking for help is liberating and life-bringing for us and those around us. Interdependence truly is a virtue, and perhaps asking for help is actually a sacred act.

In this episode of the Different podcast Steve Chalk and Jill Rowe discuss the interplay between purpose and vision in personal and professional contexts. They argue that purpose goes beyond motivation and is rooted in a deeper sense of meaning and fulfilment, while vision provides direction for achieving goals. They emphasise the importance of recognising how each person contributes to a shared vision and striving to be 'wisdom rich' in work and relationships.

In this episode of the Different podcast, Jill Rowe and Steve Chalke discuss the concept of 'thin places,' where the divide between heaven and earth disappears, offering a chance to encounter the divine in everyday life.

They talk about how these thin places give us respite and perspective, and through our conversation, we come to see that each day, place and person holds the possibility where we can encounter and notice the divine if we see and understand differently, everywhere is holy ground, and that changes everything we even ask what all this has got to do with social policy. We hope you enjoy this conversation.
