Creating Safe Spaces Through Non-Judgmental Awareness

On this episode of the C&C podcast, Marcus and Marvelyne talk about safe spaces. Physical, mental and emotional safe spaces are necessary for each of us to survive and thrive. 

Marcus shares how we can reframe our questions and discussions to be more supportive and to be that safe space for others.

Key topics:

• [2:48] The importance of safe spaces and how we’re lacking in them these days
• [4:58] Our tendency to listen to the people who agree with us and to not hear the people who don’t
• [6:59] The exhaustion of not feeling safe
• [7:40] How can we sit in the moment of non-judgment?
• [9:51] What if we became curious of other peoples’ opinions? 
• [11:04] A real life example from Marcus of stepping out of judgement and into awareness
• [12:48] Many times people don’t need fixing; they just need someone to listen
