You don’t have to do it all alone. Lean on your village. Ask for help. Accept support when it’s offered—you’re not meant to carry everything alone.

Instead of: "I have to do this."
Try: "I get to do this."

Wish you could turn down the volume on stress? Try this: Humming. It stimulates the vagus nerve, helping to calm your nervous system.
