When faced with systems that feel this broken — our instinct is totally understandable: survive. We channel our inner Gloria Gaynor. We will survive. We go for long runs. We take up quilting. We do a digital detox. We create little pockets of peace and try to ride it out until things get better. And honestly? Those things aren't bad. Rest and recovery matter but we can’t stop the conversation at self care. You have more power than to just survive the chaos.
