Do you feel deeply but find yourself drained by the state of the world?

You’re not alone

This group is for caring, socially conscious adults who:
✅ Feel emotionally exhausted by news, politics, or climate stress
✅ Struggle to balance caring for others with caring for themselves
✅ Want tools to regulate stress and avoid burnout
✅ Crave meaningful connection with like-minded people
✅ Need a safe, supportive space to reflect and reset

If this sounds like you, you’re in the right place.
