I get it...

You are holding EVERYTHING and EVERYBODY together. You are the super friend that everyone calls when their life is falling apart. You are a leader at work, the owner of a business, you keep your household together, you’re the problem solver and people look to you to get things done. They love you because you are at the top of your game and on most days, you have it ALL together.
Image

On the other hand...

There are those days when you are FALLING APART and you don’t have anyone strong enough to support you as you piece yourself back together. You try to reach out and talk to your friends and family but their best advice is, “I know you will figure it out, YOU ARE STRONG” and somehow you find yourself talking about THEIR issues AGAIN. You cringe, stuff your feelings aside and continue to be THE STRONG FRIEND.

Breakthrough before you breakdown!

We know that you are human and you could use a little guidance sometimes. You may even be secretly stressed out, sad, worried, or angry and need a space to process these emotions– give them some room to breathe and see what happens.

I know that can be scary, but I've seen some great things happen when it's done. Despite the fact that people may not believe this, I know you need somebody to LISTEN, SUPPORT, AND ENCOURAGE you too. Most strong friends know that they’ll be okay in the end, but could use somebody to be there during the process. The good news is that there is support available.
