2024 may have left you feeling broken, drained, or even lost—but it hasn’t taken away your ability to hope. In our latest blog, Kyleigh Leist dives into the raw realities of navigating one of the hardest years of her life while holding on to even the smallest flicker of light. It’s a powerful reminder that rebuilding, rediscovering, and believing in better days is a process worth taking one small step at a time. Key Highlights: 👉 Acknowledge the Pain: It’s okay to feel broken, to grieve, and to sit with your emotions. Growth starts with being honest about where you are. 👉 Small Steps Forward: Healing doesn’t happen all at once. Progress is slow, messy, and imperfect—and that’s okay. 👉 Rebuild on Your Own Terms: Let go of perfection and focus on the things that truly nourish you—whether it’s relationships, self-care, or quiet moments of joy. 👉 Find Your Flicker of Hope: Even in the darkest times, hope can guide you. It doesn’t have to be big or bold—it just has to be enough to keep you going. 💡 This blog is a compassionate reminder that healing isn’t about “getting over it”—it’s about finding your way through it. If you’ve had a hard year, know this: You are not alone, and there’s no shame in moving at your own pace. 🔗 Read more about navigating a hard year and looking forward to what is to come: https://lnkd.in/gU-hdHiC 💬 Let’s talk: How do you hold on to hope when life feels heavy?

It's always easy to find out you're in a state of burnout after the fact, but how do we identify the factors that cause burnout in the first place? Burnout doesn’t happen overnight—it’s often due to many different factors that slowly build over time. Here are some common causes of burnout that may help you identify them early on: 1️⃣ Increased Pressure: Constant demands to perform, meet deadlines, or handle complex challenges can leave you feeling overwhelmed and mentally drained. 2️⃣ Responsibility Overload: Taking on too much—at work, home, in relationships, or a combination of them all—can lead to exhaustion and a never-ending list of responsibilities. 3️⃣ Loneliness or Isolation: A huge contributor to burnout is a lack of support, feeling misunderstood or having no outlet to express how you're feeling. 4️⃣ Perfectionism: The need to do everything flawlessly can create an endless cycle of self-criticism and stress, making the smallest of mistakes weigh heavier than they should. 5️⃣ Overstimulation: Being constantly surrounded by noise, notifications, and demands for your attention puts us in a constant state of high alert, with no time to "turn off". 6️⃣ No Free Time: When every moment of your day is scheduled, you lose the ability to recharge, leading to both physical and emotional fatigue. 7️⃣ Neglecting Self-Care: Skipping meals, sleep, exercise, downtime or simply time for things you enjoy will slowly chip away at your mental and physical stamina. 8️⃣ Lack of Recognition: When your efforts go unnoticed or unappreciated, it can be easy to feel that what you do doesn’t matter. 9️⃣ Uncertainty or Instability: Living with constant unknowns—financial, emotional, or life in general—can rock the very foundation everything else rests on. Burnout is very real and often an unacknowledged issue. It's caused not just from stressors in the workplace, but all aspects of our lives. While we all aim to achieve more, it’s crucial to prioritize self-care so we can show up as our best selves.

As the holidays approach, many of us are caught in a whirlwind of pressure—pressure to make everything “perfect.” The perfect gifts, the perfect decorations, the perfect moments.   But what if we’re missing the magic that’s been right in front of us all along? Dandelions! In his heartfelt blog, Dave Frank shares a powerful realization: it’s not the grandeur or extravagance that leaves lasting memories—it’s the small, unassuming acts of love.   The wildflowers handed to him by his daughters every day in summer isn’t about perfection. They’re about presence.   If you’re feeling like you’re not doing enough this season, stop! Take a breath. Look for your dandelions.   Maybe it’s decorating cookies together, laughing over a board game, or just being fully present while they tell you about their day.   💡 This holiday season, let’s rewrite the narrative. Let’s focus on love, connection, and the moments that truly matter.   👉 Read the full blog for a touching reminder to cherish the little things this holiday season: https://lnkd.in/eFpKwy55   💬 What are the "dandelions" in your life?

The holidays change when you’re a parent.   It can feel like excitement mixed with pressure, joy tangled with responsibility.   It’s okay if you feel overwhelmed. It’s okay to admit you need a moment.   Parenting doesn’t come with a guide, but support? That’s something we can all lean into.   To every parent feeling the weight and the wonder of this season—you’re doing better than you think.   #ParentingJourney #ColtonUnderwood #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthSupport #MentalHealthCommunity #EndTheStigma #PeerSupport #PeerToPeerSupport #PeertoPeer

It starts small by dismissing your feelings, twisting your words, making you second-guess yourself.   “Am I really too sensitive? Did I imagine that?”   If this hits close, trust your feelings, reclaim your voice, and surround yourself with people who remind you of your truth.   #GaslightingAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthSupport #MentalHealthCommunity #EndTheStigma #PeerSupport #PeerToPeerSupport #PeertoPeer #Gaslight

Pushing through isn’t about pretending it’s easy.   It’s about believing there’s something beyond pain, even if you can’t see it yet. #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthSupport #MentalHealthCommunity #EndTheStigma #PeerSupport #PeerToPeerSupport #PeertoPeer
