Writing it. Launching it. Living it. ✨For the "It's My Turn!" Collective
with 2nd Chapter Plans That Won't Do Small.

I'm fast learning that I don’t always need to help I'm fast learning that I don’t always need to help.

Sometimes people want advice.

Sometimes they just want you to listen.

And sometimes?

It just ain't my damn problem. 😂

Before you jump in, ask yourself:

👉 Was I actually asked to help?
👉 Do I want to help?
👉 Is this even mine to solve?

Being less helpful doesn't mean being less kind.

It means being more intentional. ❤️ Link to post in bio.

Has being helpful become a reflex? 🤔 Someone has Has being helpful become a reflex? 🤔

Someone has a problem and your brain immediately goes:

“Oh, I can fix that!”
"Here's what I'd do!"

Sometimes you can pause. Listen. And even let somebody else handle it.

You don't have to be the solution every damn time. ❤️

Just a tale (mostly true) about a group of Gen X Gals attempting sourdough for the first time.
