Don’t Try to Fix It, Feel It

Hey Ya’ll,

Can I be frank? There are a lot of people hurting. Between the government shutdown and general massive job loss with a job market that doesn’t seem to respect time or tenure, people are pissed off and feeling a bit hopeless. If you are one of those people I am sending healing energy and a whole bunch of light. And if you know someone in this space, this resource offers practical ways to show up without overstepping.

RESOURCE:
8 Ways to Be There for Someone Who Lost Their Job

REVELATION:

Supporting someone through job loss isn’t about perfect words, it’s about presence. The Wondermind article reminded me that most people don’t need us to fix their situation; they need us to witness it. Ask before assuming. Validate before advising. And remember, your energy matters too; caring doesn’t mean carrying. Real support is about walking with someone, not dragging them out of the storm.

REFLECTION:

• When someone close to you was struggling, did you ask what they needed, or decide for them?

• How can you balance compassion for others with boundaries that protect your own peace?
