1. Make a list
Circle your top three people. If there are not three you’re comfortable with, that’s okay! Circle your top person.
- Who can provide me support and encouragement?
- Who can hold me accountable to my goals?
- Who do I feel comfortable with?
- Who has been through a similar experience?
- Who has similar goals?

2. Determine how your circle can support you.
How can each specific person on my list help me? This could look like:
- Childcare
- Assistance with Shopping
- Emotional Support
- Household Work
3. How can I communicate what I need?
What is the best way for me to communicate with each of these people? This might look like:
- Phone Call
- Text
- Letter
- Meetings
