Our busy, tech-driven lives leave little time and energy for self-reflection, making it hard to balance productivity with our need for self-care and connection. Many feel isolated, stuck in negative cycles, and uncertain about how to improve their quality of life or move forward with their aspirations -- especially post-pandemic. I often hear people describe a sense of emptiness or that something important is missing in their lives. When faced with these challenges, some of us pretend that everything is OK and push ourselves toward burnout, while others avoid, doom scroll, and submit to apathy. There is a third path, one that takes courage, which is to seek professional support, create a safe space to reconnect with yourself, rediscover meaning, and find new ways to enrich your life.
