Here's what we learned from our conversation with Kristen Lippert:

Don’t burn yourself out trying to please everyone else. If you feel out of alignment, you are. Your body and mind give you warning signs that you need to make changes, so listen to them! 

Seek guidance from professionals, family/friends you trust, and God. Let yourself explore, and stay curious while you learn what your options are. The next step will become clear. Have faith in that.

Set boundaries with your time and relationships to create space emotionally and physically for the next phase. Learn to say “no” when you need to.

Learn lessons along the way. There is purpose to every season—the pieces will fit together and even if they don’t, they’ll make good stories.

Get clear on your values and your why. Make choices that stay true to them.

Learn to listen effectively to connect, heal, and create genuine community.

Stay curious, stay kind.
