You’ve been having a rough time. Breakup, loss of job, health scare, financial troubles. Maybe all of the above.
You can’t face this alone but you hate asking for help. You fear how people will react. Will they judge? Gossip? Turn their backs? Say the ‘N’ word? Or worse yet, all of the above?

Wouldn’t it be amazing if you had someone who knew exactly how to be there for you in this crisis? Someone who always said the right thing, brought the perfect comfort food, and never left your side? Someone who could help you trouble-shoot and find the best solutions one step at a time?
I’m here to tell you that you already do. And she’s been there all along. Guess what, buttercup, you are the one who can best do all of the above. Because you are the wind beneath your own wings!
