R- Recognize what is happening A- Allow the feeling to be there, do not try to force it to change I- Investigate with care I SAID INVESTIGATE, not INTELLECTUALIZE N- Name and nurture: can you put words to this feeling? What do you need? If someone else named that they felt that way, what would you give them? Topic: Book, Bop, Bummer 00:39:45 I owe Glorilla an apology… she is so much more than a social media rapper, shes a hitmaker! “Love yourself” is not an adequate response to feeling isolated/lacking community!
