Call! DON'T TEXT!
📞 Call, Don’t Text
We’ve gotten way too comfortable living inside little bubbles of text messages.
“Thinking of you.”
“Hope you’re good.”
“Let’s catch up soon.”
And then… nothing.
That silence after a text? That dead space?
If someone’s struggling, that doesn’t feel neutral—it feels like a gut punch.
Because here’s the truth:
When someone is hurting, they don’t need a notification…
They need a voice.
I’ve been on both sides of this.
There were times I was going through it—really going through it—and people who I thought would show up… didn’t. I remember one night after my divorce, two people who said they’d be there both canceled. Same night. Bad excuses.
And you sit there like…
“Alright. I guess it’s just me tonight.”
That sticks with you.
Not because they were bad people—but because in that moment, what I needed wasn’t a message. I needed a human being.
🔥 A Call Changes Everything
When you call someone, you’re saying:
“You matter enough for my time.”
“I’m here with you, not just checking a box.”
“You’re not alone right now.”
They hear your tone.
They feel your presence.
They know you didn’t just fire off a quick text between other things.
That matters more than you think.
And no—you don’t need to have the answers.
You don’t need to fix their life.
Half the time, just being there is the fix.
🤝 Service Heals Both Sides
Here’s something I’ve learned the hard way:
When your own life feels like it’s spinning…
Go help someone else.
Call someone who’s struggling.
Check in. Stay on the phone. Listen.
It takes the edge off your own chaos. It grounds you. It reminds you who you are.
That’s part of what Rise Up a Rockstar is all about—
We don’t just rise alone. We rise by lifting others.
👊 Especially for the Guys
Men—we’ve got to be better at this.
We’re not great at asking for help.
And honestly? We’re not always great at showing up either.
The women in our lives—friends, sisters, partners—they tend to check in, gather around, support, talk things through. They show up.
We need to take a page from that.
Be the guy who calls.
Be the guy who shows up.
Be the guy who doesn’t disappear when things get uncomfortable.
That’s strength. Not weakness.
🎸 Don’t Leave It Hanging
If you make the call—don’t make it a one-time thing.
Before you hang up, say:
“Hey, I’m gonna call you again Monday.”
“Let’s check in tomorrow.”
Give them something to hold onto.
Because when someone’s struggling, knowing someone is coming back…
That can be everything.
🚀 Rise Up Challenge
Today—don’t text.
Pick one person.
Someone you know might be going through something… or even someone who just crossed your mind.
👉 Call them.
👉 Stay on the phone.
👉 Be present.
You don’t need perfect words. Just be real.
Because rockstars don’t just perform when it’s easy—
They show up when it matters.
And sometimes, the most powerful thing you can say is:
“Hey… I’ve got you.”
