In times of crisis, whether it’s a natural disaster like a hurricane, personal challenges, or global uncertainty, staying connected and empowered can feel like a difficult task. It’s easy to feel isolated, anxious, or overwhelmed when the world seems to be shifting around you. But as women, we’ve always had the ability to rise above adversity, to find strength in our shared experiences, and to support each other through every storm—literal or metaphorical.
At TechMae, our goal is to create a safe space where women from around the world can come together, share their experiences, and uplift one another. We’ve built our app to help women stay connected and empowered during times like these, and we believe that community is one of the most powerful tools we have.
Here are 10 ways you can stay connected and empowered during a crisis—because no matter what happens, you don’t have to go through it alone.
- Lean on Your Community
During a crisis, the people around you—whether they’re physically near or just a message away—are your greatest support system. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or scared, reach out. Whether it’s calling a friend or hopping on the TechMae app to share your thoughts, know that you don’t have to keep your worries to yourself. When we come together as women, we remind each other of our collective strength.
- Share Your Story
There’s something incredibly healing about sharing your personal story, especially when times are tough. If you’re experiencing a crisis, writing about it, recording a voice memo, or even doing a quick video diary on the TechMae app can help you process your emotions. Plus, your story might inspire and uplift someone else going through a similar challenge.
- Stay Informed Without Overloading Yourself
While it’s important to stay up-to-date on the latest information during a crisis, too much information can lead to anxiety and burnout. Set limits on how often you check the news and opt for reliable sources. Find balance by using those moments in between updates to connect with others, find positive stories, or engage in uplifting conversations on platforms like TechMae.
- Practice Mindfulness and Self-Care
When the world feels chaotic, it’s more important than ever to carve out time for self-care. Even if it’s just 10 minutes of deep breathing or journaling, those small moments can help you regain a sense of control. Remember to take care of your mental and emotional health, and if you need a reminder, the women in the TechMae community are always here to lift you up and remind you to take that moment for yourself.
- Celebrate the Small Wins
In challenging times, it’s easy to focus on everything that’s going wrong. But don’t forget to celebrate the small wins! Did you manage to stay calm in a moment of panic? That’s a win. Did you reach out to a loved one and share how you’re feeling? That’s a win too. Use TechMae as a place to share these small victories with other women who can cheer you on, no matter how small they may seem.
- Create a Virtual Support System
Maybe you can’t be with your loved ones physically, but that doesn’t mean you can’t create a strong virtual support system. Set up virtual check-ins, video calls, or group chats where you can offer and receive support. On the TechMae app, you can join our TeCHmAE Connections group to meet new women, stay in touch with old friends, and find a sense of community, no matter where you are in the world.
- Empower Others by Offering Support
Sometimes, empowering others can be a powerful way to feel empowered yourself. If you have the ability to offer a helping hand, whether it’s sending words of encouragement, providing useful resources, or checking in on someone who’s struggling, do it. You never know how much a simple message can mean to someone during a tough time.
- Get Creative to Relieve Stress
One of the best ways to stay connected to yourself and others during a crisis is to get creative. Whether it’s writing, painting, singing, or even cooking, creative expression can be an incredible outlet for releasing pent-up emotions. And guess what? You can share your creative work with the TechMae community! Maybe your poem, artwork, or song will inspire another woman to tap into her creative energy as well.
- Remember You’re Never Truly Alone
Crises can make us feel isolated, but it’s important to remember that we’re all in this together. TechMae was created as a global platform where women can come together, no matter where they are in the world.
