Feeling overwhelmed 💔 by the world?

Reader—

It's another week when my words fail me.

The growing, tragic loss of life. The heartbreak of thousands and thousands of people. 😢💔

I'm fully aware that suffering, death, and tragedy are not new.

But it doesn't make my heart ache any less for the victims of the Texas floods.

My heart goes out to everyone affected by this tragedy. I join the millions around the country who are praying for your peace and comfort. 🙏🏼

I don't ever want to become numb to unnecessary death and destruction.

And I feel guilty looking away when it becomes too much. But I know my tears only take me so far.

They keep me in touch with my compassion, but they don't give anything back.

My free webinar, "What to Do When Your Empathy Runs Out," is scheduled for next Wednesday, July 16th @2pm EDT.

But I'm thinking we should add "Or When Your Empathy Is in Overdrive" to the title.

🫶🏼 If you're like me, you might be feeling:

Emotionally raw and overstimulated (by the news cycle).
Helpless or hopeless (about your kid's future).
Numb to your emotions (for self-protection).

I think I'm witnessing (in real time) more suffering than I ever imagined. The constant stream of information and images is a lot to process.

Feeling exhausted, guilty, or numb — just means we're human (and maybe at our limit).

And going on with life as though nothing has happened feels inadequate.

Speaking about my feelings is what helps me find the resilience to keep caring AND acting for change.

If you want to feel your feelings without losing yourself...

➡ RSVP here to join our free webinar on 7/16 @2pm EDT.

I hope you'll join us if you are:

• Exhausted from constant vigilance, worry, or heartbreak.
• Afraid of becoming cynical or indifferent.
• Looking for a community that will reassure you that caring isn't futile (but actually super critical).

Especially if you're a parent or caregiver of young kids, you might carry the double weight of navigating your own shock, grief, and pain while caring for and protecting your children.

While this webinar was already scheduled, it feels even more relevant now.

Join me for a free, gentle hour of support. I'll share more about:

🌱 What I do to manage overwhelm without shutting down.
🌱 What it took for me to reconnect with my empathy.
🌱 The small practices I use to care for myself while caring for others.
🌱 What it took to come out of my empathy burnout.

​Click here to RSVP and mark your calendar for Wednesday, July 16th, at 2pm EDT.

This isn't about ignoring the pain but staying connected to ourselves while we feel it.

Hope to talk soon! And until next time, please remember, it's about being conscious — not perfect!

Warmly,

​
p.s. This webinar is totally free, and I will send the recording out after if you RSVP here.
