"Today is International Workers Day.
Most posts you will read today will thank workers. We want to do something more meaningful.
If you know a family member, a healer, a therapist, a facilitator, a nurse, a social worker, a coach, or a doula running on fumes, this post is for them, or for You.
The work of holding other people's pain is some of the most important work there is. It is also some of the most structurally undervalued. The fundamentals of sustainability do not change by industry. The systems just have to fit the work.
Here is the actual ask today. Send this post to one care provider in your life. Ask them how they actually are. Then wait for the real answer.
If you are that provider reading this, we built Micro Healing Center for the people whose work is to hold other people. Visit microhealingcenter.com.
