Bring Your Real-Life Questions to the Being Human Podcast

Knowing the concepts is one thing. Knowing how to use them when the conversation gets tense, the system gets anxious, or your own reactivity kicks in is another.

Maybe you know what self-differentiation is, but you’re not sure what it looks like with a difficult coworker. Maybe you can spot the anxiety in a family system, but you still get pulled into it. Maybe you’ve been practicing staying grounded, only to find yourself replaying the conversation hours later.

Those are exactly the kinds of questions Steve and Lisa Cuss love to explore on the Being Human Podcast.

From time to time, Steve and Lisa devote episodes to questions submitted by listeners—real situations from real people trying to put these ideas into practice.

You might be wondering:

• How do I stay connected to someone without taking responsibility for their emotions?
• What does healthy differentiation actually sound like in a hard conversation?
• Why do I keep getting hooked by the same person or situation?
• How can I lead calmly when anxiety is spreading through the whole team?
• What do I do when I can see the pattern clearly but still don’t know how to change my part in it?

Your question doesn’t need to be perfectly worded, and your situation doesn’t need to be dramatic.

It might be a conversation you can’t stop thinking about. A relationship where you keep falling into the same pattern. A leadership challenge you’re not sure how to approach. Or simply a place where you know the Capable Life tools in theory but aren’t sure how to practice them.

Bring that.

Steve and Lisa draw from years of experience with Systems Theory, leadership, therapy, relationships, faith, and the very human work of becoming more connected, aware, and present.

The goal isn’t to offer a perfect formula. It’s to help you notice what’s happening, understand your own part in the system, and find a more grounded way forward.

If you’d like Steve and Lisa to consider your question for an upcoming Q&A episode, submit your question here.

Your real life is where these tools matter most.

And sometimes a good question is the best place to begin.
