“There are days I have trouble falling asleep, worrying about how I can help (as a recruiter/trainer) professionals find new careers with all the chaos...Then I read Paul's article and made time for myself to reset, reminding myself to find "Peace amidst the chaos," which calmed me. Today, his words hit home again: we must collectively support each other; that's how we resist, best!”
Melissa Reitkopp, Career Questions...ANSWERED!
“The resistance needs healers, and Paul is one of those people. Paul writes about mental health and resilience under authoritarianism and what you can do to take care of yourself and others in these chaotic times.”
