Care can be sustainable. On this episode, Adeline and Linda are still distinguishing the difference between caring and coping. They are learning to care for their communities in ways that feel supportive without consistently overextending themselves. This conversation is their persistent attempt to disrupt the endless cycle of showing up long past their capacity allows. They don’t want to turn into a pretzel AND they want their people to be well. They accept their responsibility as caregivers and know that they can’t be effective ones if it constantly leaves them empty. Sometimes you just have to say no in the short term to say yes in the long term. They ask the question: what do people owe them (hint: apparently nothing).

Mantra #30: I love myself enough to say no. I love my community enough to say no.
