Maybe you’re learning to surf for the first time. Maybe you’re finding your way back to the water. Or maybe you’ve been looking for a place where you can simply show up as you are.

Community doesn’t have an expiration date. There’s still time to meet people who cheer you on, paddle out beside you, laugh with you, and remind you that you don’t have to navigate life alone.

Sometimes, finding your people starts with simply showing up. 🤙🏽

A little personal wellness plan..and the perfect way to get ahead of seasonal depression. 🤞

Third Wave was lucky enough to win this beautiful giveaway from Rooted Method Wellness, and the timing couldn’t have been better.

Thank you again, @rootedmethodvb , for giving us another way to care for ourselves through the changing seasons. 🤍

Picture this…

SHES GOING FOR IT.
PADDLE, PADDLE PADDLE, GOOOO.
Her arms pumping
She finds her center, She peaks her toes..
there it goes, she’s got the rails
She pushed up, one foot sliding forward, the other planting….. growing stems & she’s on it..

An open letter to the people who take care of people for a living…

And maybe especially to the ones who also take care of everyone in their real life.

The therapists. Social workers. Counselors. Nurses. Coaches. Teachers. First responders. Military Service Members, Caregivers. The friend everyone calls. The person in the family who somehow always knows what to do next.

We’ve been thinking about you.

There’s something strange that happens when being capable becomes part of your identity.

People trust you with hard things.

You know how to stay calm. You know the language. You know the resources. You know how to sit beside someone in something uncomfortable without immediately trying to make it disappear.

And eventually, being the person who can handle it can quietly turn into being the person expected to take it.

The extra responsibility. The emotional weight. The one more thing. The assumption that you’ll be fine because you usually are.

Most of our conversations about burnout happen once someone is already burned out.

We’ve gotten very good at recognizing what happens when people who care for others have given too much for too long. This summer, being part of Third Wave has given us a chance to see that in real time.

People who spend their lives being responsible for other people getting in the ocean and becoming beginners again. Just a person learning how to stand on a surfboard.

Falling. Laughing. Trying again. Being taken care of for a minute.

And the people who spend their lives serving and helping other people come back to themselves need to actively participate in their own lives, too.

Build it into your life now.
Build it into your practice now.

Have experiences that have nothing to do with being useful to someone else. Be a beginner. Have fun. Move your body. Learn something. Let somebody else know what to do. Make room for the parts of your life that belong entirely to you.

Not because doing those things will make you a better therapist, social worker, nurse, teacher, coach, caregiver or friend.

Because your life is also one of the lives you’re responsible for participating in.
