Lonely, But Not Alone We Call B.S.

It continues to be a tad bit ironic that in an age where we are actually capable of connecting the most, we are feeling the loneliest. There’s been this sustained sense of overwhelm and we’re left feeling uninspired and stuck. As moms, we also feel a unique shame and pressure that we don’t have it all together. In this season, fear has taught us to censor ourselves because no one can handle another conflict. And while kindness and tolerance are important values in community, so are honesty and vulnerability. 
 
So here’s the mental health and self-care reminder you’ll need to survive the rest of 2020: stop waiting for someone or something else to save you. Be your own best advocate. What do you need? Go do the thing. Find your people, however challenging it may be and discover how you need to connect so that we can rise out of this...together. 
 
In this episode, we’ll explore: 
Why this feeling of lack and overwhelm continues to be so pervasive How it’s easy to censor our thoughts and feelings in this climate The little and big ways we are showing up to care for ourselves Why these seasons can push us to remember what we value and love most about ourselves How showing up in discomfort can be the best way out of the loneliness
