How to Show Up: A Workshop
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21
Most of us don't even know how to begin.
The first text. The call after you find out what happened. The moment you're standing at their door and you have no idea what to say.
At some point, everyone we love will face something that breaks life open. Illness. Loss. A diagnosis. A marriage ending.
We freeze. We draft and delete. We tell ourselves we'll reach out once we know the right words. The days pass. We still don't know. Now it feels too late.
And if we do manage to show up once, the follow-through falls apart anyway. Not knowing what to say three weeks in. The fear that bringing it up will ruin their good day. The guilt of pulling back because you just don't know what to do anymore.
It's one of the most important things we'll ever do. And nobody ever taught us how.
This virtual workshop changes that.

IIn one hour, you'll get the tools for showing up with real presence, including:
The exact words for the moments that feel impossible to navigate.
Why we freeze, pull back, or say the wrong thing, and how to stop
What people going through hard things actually need (and what they don't)
The language that helps, and the phrases that accidentally make things worse
Live walk-thru of the 2AM Support Plan you can use anytime
A simple practice you can start using immediately

You do NOT need to currently be supporting someone through a hard situation to join. This workshop is preparation for what's ahead. You're building the skills now, so you're not caught flat-footed the next time someone you love needs you.
“I wanted to thank you again for your session about showing up for the ones we love. I have brought it up with so many friends lately, and it's sparked some wonderful conversations about what it means to be there for one another.” - Courtney T.

Led by Harper Spero, founder of 2AM.
Harper is a certified coach, storyteller and community builder. She’s spent years talking with people living through illness, loss, and everything in between. She's lived with an invisible illness since childhood, so this workshop isn't theoretical for her: it's built from what she's needed herself, and what she's learned helping others find the words when someone they love is struggling.
