"…Love her but don't talk to her about these things because she clearly doesn't get it. Find people who get it. Call me if you want whatever you need to do so that you feel seen and heard and that your struggles are real and they need to be solved so that you can be happy. So stay tuned for a follow up to see if we can get my friend a job here at my current company or somewhere else and I'll report back.…"
"…Hey, Jessica, that was a lot. And I won't lie. It made me emotional at some point. I hope your friend is doing is doing well. I think, of course, you never want to be in the position where someone is feeling like that, but it is good that you were there for her and that I don't know, it's good to give people space when they feel bad.…"
"…So I appreciate you listening and thank you for the feedback and I'm glad that I'm able to help other people. I've always said that if I'm able to just save one person in this planet, I will have done my calling, my due diligence. So I definitely have a lot more to say about those types of situations and how to deal with adversity in life, personal and professional.

I don't have time for you right now.…"

But I think part of the challenge is for us to understand that we can reshape the future of what HR looks like by these relationships and this very kind of relationship that you have with your friend that's influencing her and supporting her, and she's going to be able to bring that to the work environment as well.…"
"…Again, we're not terribly close. I'm just putting in gentle pressure to kind of guide her and help her navigate this journey. So she is with a therapist, she is on medication, so she's doing all the right things, but she has to change the tape inside her head. No amount of medication, no doctor in this world, no friends, no family, no support system, no nothing is ever going to help you again.…"
"…And I've learned that that speaking our intentions and speaking our goals and motivations and things that are holding us back and just sharing stories in general is really helpful. So thank you and I'm looking forward to staying in touch. Bye.…"
