Hey Michelle 👋 so I have a new job where essentially I sit between vulnerable people and the government. As you can imagine, there’s a lot of harrowing stories on one side and frustrations on the other. Do you have any advice on how to stay sane?

Obviously good boundaries around my time and energy is huge and fortunately my boss is super supportive of that so far, but I’m an anticipating some trouble with compartmentalising emotionally. Xx

I have one friend in my inner circle who is bearing herself up over the fact that everyone around knows what they want to do with their lives and she doesn't. She kinda knows what her stregths are but dunno how to make use and profit out of it. How can I help her find her calling?

Hey Michelle! I've noticed something very peculiar about myself. I the past I used to set such life and career goals so they fit and don't clash with goals of a guy I was currently dating. I was so scared of abandonment that I neglected my needs and dreams just bot to end up alone. Now I want to take time to heal this sound and work towards my career goals. How do I heal myself so I don't follow the same old pattern again?

Do you have any tips on self discipline? I am currently writing my master thesis and because my masters and the university have been quite terribly organised, I have barely any motivation, but of course, I want to finish my thesis. Any help is greatly appreciated!
