Meeting people where they are really means honoring their current place in life without judgment or expectation.It’s choosing empathy over assumption. Instead of asking someone to rise to where we think they should be, we take the time to understand their experiences, struggles, and capacity in the moment. It looks like: - Listening more than speaking. - Offering support that fits their needs, not just what feels easiest for us to give. - Accepting that growth, healing, or recovery happens at different paces for different people. At its core, it’s about compassion—creating space where people feel seen, valued, and safe enough to take the next step forward.
