Greer and Simonie sit down with Jordan Arogeti, co-founder and CEO of SupportNow and host of the podcast Moms Like Me, to explore what it really means to show up for people in crisis.

Jordan shares how a simple idea — born from countless “cash and casserole” moments during COVID — evolved into a platform that helps people offer meaningful, practical support during life’s hardest seasons. From organizing meal trains and errands to understanding her groundbreaking concept of Support Languages, Jordan reveals how each of us can learn to give support in ways that truly help instead of overwhelm.

Together, they talk about:

The psychology of decision fatigue in grief and why “How can I help?” isn’t always helpful
Why small, consistent acts of kindness matter more than grand gestures
How to earn a grieving friend’s trust and avoid the “vanishing friend” trap
The importance of building a “village” before crisis strikes

Greer and Jordan also reflect on their personal connection — how Greer’s own sudden loss helped shape the early vision for SupportNow — and the evolving language of compassion that can transform communities of care.
