Continuing the Conversation: Creating Community at Your Pace A follow-up to Ep. 22 with Paola Ortiz, LMFT🌟 What’s New in ZessionsWe love our guest conversations on Zessions—and we’re not stopping those. But in this new “Continuing the Conversation” series, your co-hosts Mandi Roarke, LMFT and Sapna Srivastava, PhD are stepping back in front of the mic together.Here, we get a little more personal. We revisit past episodes, bring in themes that are sticking with us, and share openly about how we are wrestling with, applying, or sometimes struggling with the same ideas that come up in conversation with our guests.Think of these episodes as an after-the-fact reflection circle: less polished, more personal, and always tied to the collective wisdom we’ve built through Zessions.🔎 Episode at a GlanceRevisiting Ep. 22 with Paola Ortiz, LMFT on building community How self-care shifts from season to season (and why it’s not always spa days)Naming safety as a core ingredient for belonging How “community” can be one friend, a book club, your family—or just youWhy protecting capacity helps us sustain the bigger work ✅ Key TakeawaysCommunity is fluid. It doesn’t always mean groups; it can be solo time or one close connection. Safety shapes belonging. Choose spaces where your nervous system can settle. Capacity first. Sustainable care starts with realistic pacing and energy. Micro-moves matter. Decluttering a drawer or doing taxes with a show on counts. We’re in it too. Even as therapists, we’re learning to live out what we talk about on Zessions.  🔗 MentionsEp. 22: Building Community with Paola Ortiz, LMFT Silent Book Clubs (low-pressure group reading meetups) 💬 Connect with UsFollow: @MyZessio (Instagram · TikTok · YouTube) Explore resources: zessio.com If this conversation resonated, please follow, rate, and share—it helps others find Zessions and the community we’re building.Support the showConnect with us on Instagram @myzessio or visit our website: https://www.zessio.com.Did you find this information helpful?
