You Are Not Alone

IDK if it's the loneliness epidemic, or because my brand is about empathy and kindness, or both BUT RECENTLY I've been getting more people sending me DMs on LinkedIn sharing stuff about their personal struggles or challenges related to feeling very sad and alone.

This surprises me because I've not heard from some of them before (or for a while) and to share confidential stuff also shows I'm reaching them with my transparency about my own struggles with the family and friend I lost this year (may they RIP).

I'm crafting a #PSA about #crowdsourcing solutions towards Community Support for Mental Health on there, along with listing resources in North America that they can access for free.

It could be also because I've shown up at IRL for tech events and #CoffeeChats in #Vancouver opening about my own #GriefRecovery and volunteering with BC Bereavement Helpline including hosting 2 out of 3 #MourningWalks this summer with Tech2Step Canada.
