You might need to find your people if…
As helpers and healers in the world today we are not only being pulled in a million different directions, we are also being bogged down by the weight of the current political landscape and the constant uncertainty about rights and safety. So it’s not surprising that many helpers and healers feel cut off from others for a variety of reasons. Maybe you’re a solo entrepreneur and don’t get a lot of colleague interaction. Maybe you are overwhelmed by the world and can’t handle any more situations where you need to mask. Whatever the reasons, you need to find your people ASAP.
Need more convincing? Here are 3 qualifiers indicating that you need to find community:
Feeling burnt out? Yeah, I've been there...

I’ve been there many times actually. This isn’t typically something I’m proud of, especially in our culture that praises hustle, rugged individualism, and pushing through anything that might get in one’s way - no matter the cost.
Well, when the cost is as high as your mental health, functioning, and cognitive abilities, I’d say it’s too expensive for me.
My burnout times have varied in severity, stage of life, and even in my own recognition of them. It’s actually quite common to be experiencing many symptoms of burnout without ever realizing it is happening (see comment about our culture above). So if this is happening for you, please know you aren’t alone!
