Ep. 26: Gossip. Lets chat about it! Because it isn't as bad as we think.

Whenever people are gathered, gossip is present. And that is okay!

In this episode, Brian and Kasey point out the positives of gossip, explain how we can embrace it in our homes, communities, and workplace, and provide tangible ways to address this topic that encourages community and creates safety.

The key distinction rests on clarifying the conversation. Does it magnify the problem, or clarify it?

Positives of Gossip:

- Spreads and affirms social norms

- Helps define the problem that exists

- Creates community

How to Address Gossip:

- Create a visual (Serman on gossip, "Collect the feathers.")

- Say, "It's not my story to tell."

- Fix the small things; provide notecards (From Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Journey)
