Have you ever felt like pulling away when life gets hard?


It’s a common instinct during challenging transitions. But staying connected to your community, even when it feels uncomfortable, can be the key to finding strength and momentum.


Erin, a guest on the 2ndwind podcast, shared a valuable reflection:

“You can borrow somebody else’s rhythm for a moment.”


This reminds us that connection isn’t just about support, it’s about sharing energy, ideas, and perspectives that help you move forward.


How to Stay Connected When It Feels Difficult


1. Reach out intentionally.

Start small. Send a text, call a friend, or attend a group meeting. Even a brief connection can re-energise you and remind you that you’re not alone.


2. Borrow someone else’s rhythm.

Reach out to a friend, mentor, or transition coach for guidance. Their momentum can inspire you and help you take your next steps with confidence.


3. Build a habit of giving back.

Staying connected isn’t just about receiving support, it’s about offering it. Helping others during their own struggles creates mutual strength and reinforces your community ties.


Why Staying Connected Transforms Transitions


Your community is your safety net, even when it doesn’t feel easy to lean on. By staying engaged and connected, you allow yourself to borrow strength and rhythm from those around you. So, reach out, stay open, and remember: connection can be the spark that gets you moving forward again.
