Hey there,
One Actually Curious question that has changed my life is:“What is one trait you are proud to have inherited from your parents?”
It used to be hard for me to answer. It brought up emotions about things unresolved in our relationships.
But this week, Mother’s Day week, it feels easier. I can name it clearly: my mom’s persistence. It’s something I carry with me in every part of my life and work, especially now.
I can still remember the moment I played Actually Curious with my mom and my late brother nearly eight years ago. That conversation gave me the courage to open up about my substance abuse issues. It was the first time I admitted it to her, with my brother by my side.
That night showed me that Actually Curious could be more than a card game. It could be a bridge. A safe space. A path forward.
So today, I just want to say this:
However you’re feeling this Mother’s Day - grateful, grieving, conflicted, or all of the above - you’re not alone.
And if you feel called to start a new kind of conversation with someone you love, you already have the tool.
