Stay Curious, Stand Brave & Smash the Kyriarchy
Late autumn is a good time to let things die – so we can focus our energies on a key initiative that make a a deep impact.
As we approach winter, I’m asking you to take a few minutes to think about everything you’ve felt obligated to take on this year – and identify a few tasks that are safe to put down.
You know that meme? About picking too many battles, but no – that’s too many battles! And needing to put some back? As caregivers, we’ve reached a point of mass delusion about how we should be living. Because it looks like so many people who were carrying an unsustainable workload before the pandemic are still managing the same output, in addition to navigating all this chaos. That’s nonsense, and we need to stop lying about it.
We are, collectively, doing way, way, way too much, and we’re getting sloppy and burning out.
Everything here – I made this for you. Cause you are important and you deserve safety, health, and support in the work you do. So take a few minutes and identify a thing or two that you can stop doing for a season. Less obligations about what you must do for others, just accept that you also are an important person we need in the world.
I like you and want you to be okay.
With you,
Ashia R.
You give me hope.
Knowing we’re in this together, each making tiny steps toward courageous, radical kindness – we’re not alone!
