"It could always be worse" has been a common phrase that people use when we are trying to empathise with others. However, did you know that this can sometimes be harmful to others depending on how you use this phrase?
In this episode, we explore why we shouldn’t use this phrase "It could always be worse" especially during difficult times. Don’t get us wrong, we’re not saying you can’t use it but hear us out!
Join us on this episode as we share our own experiences in how these words have hurt us and also how we have used these words to lift others through rough patches in their journey.
