It took me years to learn that being calm doesn’t mean being disconnected. When someone you love is struggling, especially your kids, the urge to jump in, fix, or soothe is so strong. But sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is not rush to make it better. Just breathe.
Stay open.
Let them know you can handle their truth. That’s what safety feels like. 🤍 Save this for the next time someone you love opens up.
