Reminder: If you're feeling overwhelmed, behind, or unsure of your next step—take a deep breath. You’re not the only one who finds this season challenging. Adulting is messy and complicated, but you don’t have to walk through it alone.
Give yourself grace. Start small. And know that asking for help—whether through prayer, counseling, or community—is a sign of strength, not weakness. You are seen, loved, and held—even on the days it doesn’t feel like it.
