This is a tricky one to navigate. I’ve been feeling some level of guilt for continuing to live and work as “normal” but, as long as I’m taking action outside of the day-to-day I believe I’m doing what I can. My business and my family need me to be well and caring for myself means these aspects of my life will be taken care of too. In holding (and being held by) my business and family, my hope is that I can maintain the capacity and energy to make a difference. For me, that’s less about being vocal and more about taking action, because I do better (mentally) with the latter. Petitioning, donating, contacting my MP (even though he’s useless), chatting with my daughter. She asked why I’m not voting for our local MP and it was an opportunity for me to open up about my feelings and what matters. It was a powerful conversation even though it was all very age appropriate. And I feel like guiding our children is one of the most important things we can do. There’s so much that’s outwith our control so I guess we have to focus on what’s within it? Sorry, I’m going on now…💛
