About this podcast

Remarkably Us

Shellie Rone

In this podcast we’re stripping the bullshit and getting down to the unfiltered parts of life through raw, authentic, and often difficult conversations. We’re talking about resilience, about picking yourself up from some extreme lows and rising stronger. Through my personal journey of self discovery, and sobriety, I’ve learned and continue to learn what it takes to get up and stay up. We’re sharing stories and all of the tools collected in maintaining a consistent environment for self growth, love and discovery. We’ll hear from others who are breaking barriers and climbing incredibly tough mountains. Connection matters, stories matter and without that we are nothing. So, get ready to get inspired and motivated, to laugh and to cry. But most importantly, to love a little.

Navigating Comparative Suffering and Finding Hope: A Two-Year Reflection

“You cannot compare your suffering to someone else as though it is not as great. Whatever it is that you need to do to process the last fucking Two Years of a pandemic and all this other shit that has happened to us collectively, as a nation, as a world, whatever you need to do to be empathetic to your feelings and what you have gone through personally has to be that first step before you can be empathetic with others.”

Shellie Rone takes a heartfelt look back at the last two years in this episode of 'Remarkably Us'. As we inch closer to the end of 2021, Shellie opens up about the emotional rollercoaster that the pandemic has been for many of us. She shares her personal battles with anxiety and depression, providing a raw and honest account of how she's managed to sit with and work through these heavy emotions. This episode isn't just about Shellie's story, though.

It's a call to all of us to reflect on our own experiences and prioritize our mental health. Shellie discusses the dangers of comparative suffering—where we downplay our own struggles because we think others have it worse—and stresses the importance of self-care and empathy. She encourages listeners to focus on their own healing journey, reminding us that taking care of ourselves is crucial before we can truly empathize with others.

With a mix of candidness and encouragement, Shellie offers a message of hope and resilience, urging us to believe in our ability to overcome the challenges ahead. If you're looking for a relatable and uplifting conversation about mental health and personal growth, this episode is for you.
