Su talks about why it’s important to do your personal maintenance; self care, grounding, rest, asking for support; before it becomes an emergency.
Nikki talks about feeling sad. It’s ok to let yourself feel your feelings, even the ones we aren’t taught to think of as positive. Nikki gives some ideas on how to move through it while letting yourself feel it. If what you’re going through is deeper than sadness, and could be depression, please reach out and get help. We love you, we’re glad you’re here, and we want you to make it.
