When someone shares a struggle with you, do you instinctively try to fix it—or do you pause to find out what they actually need?

In this heartfelt episode, I share the simple but powerful question that can transform your relationships and boost your autoimmune health in the process. Learn how “Do you want help or a hug?” can deepen connection, reduce stress, and increase emotional safety—for both the listener and the sharer. Whether you need support or want to offer it better, this episode delivers practical tools grounded in neuroscience and compassion.

You’ll discover:

  • Why the “help or hug” question is a game-changer for communication and emotional clarity
  • The brain science behind how connection supports autoimmune healing
  • How to apply this question to your health journey and relationships starting today
  • What real-life coaching moments reveal about the power of holding space without fixing
  • A sneak peek into how this practice shows up inside CLUB Habit Hub for sustainable habit change
