It's heavy, this thing called mental load. But it is a lot easier to lift and manage if we help eachother out.
Sometimes we feel like our words don't hold enough weight.
The seemingly tiny moments, the chats here and there, the speaking out in moments where we feel our voice needs to be heard; whether it's for ourselves or on behalf of our children, our family or our friends, as women, wives, mothers, who are all trying to hard to keep this load from falling off our shoulders completely, they're not tiny when they're collected together. Like drops in a bucket.

You never know, is it your drop in the bucket that will be the one to fill it? That will suddenly make all those drops powerful enough to drench?

The good news?
Confidence is a SKILL! Which means it can be learned, developed and mastered!

But here's another truth...we're human. And sometimes our skills can fade, and sometimes feel lost.

But I'm here to tell you that's OK! And you can find a learned skill and bring it to the forefront again. It's never completely lost.

So let's go find it! Together!

TRIGGER WARNING

One of the best things we can do for each other is share our mental health journeys because there is such a stigma surrounding mental health still. STILL!
In this day and age we are afraid to talk about it, we're afraid of what other people might think and we're afraid to be the one who might need support.

I'm not afraid anymore. I know the benefits of speaking my truth. This is for anyone who's still afraid, and for those who are looking to support someone they love.
