My motto and joke with my family and even my kids is “Work on yourself.” It is the one aspect about life, work, family and anything else we can control. You have to take the time to work on yourself and make changes. But I know that can be hard and overwhelming at times. It is often what we skip because we are too busy, have to work, help with homework, run errands and so much more. No judgement here! But life is too short to be stuck in an endless cycle of frustration and not seeing or feeling the result of your own hard work. I have been a social worker since 2018. I have been in business and in healthcare for many years as well.

Life has its challenges and ups and downs and challenges. I don’t think people need to figure it out on their own. Sometimes we just need a sounding board, support, another opinion or someone to vent to and say did my kid really just do that? I got you! Don’t spend your life trying to figure everything out alone and feel guilty about mistakes you have made. There may not be a cheat code or a short cut but there is no need for you to look for a solution alone.
