🎄The holidays can bring a mix of energy, excitement, and stress. This time of year, it’s easy to get swept up in what others expect from us, or what we expect from ourselves.

❄️If you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed this season, here are a few gentle reminders that might help ease the pressure:

It’s okay to feel whatever comes up.
It’s okay to take time and space for yourself.
It’s okay to ask for help instead of doing everything on your own.
It’s okay to set limits and say no.
It’s okay to stick to the budget that feels right for you.

☃️You are allowed to move through this season in a way that supports your well-being.

The holidays can feel busy and overwhelming, and mindfulness can help you slow down and come back to yourself. ✨

Try these simple practices:
• A 30-second pause with one slow breath
• Savoring one small moment each day
• Taking tiny movement or fresh-air breaks
• Speaking to yourself with kindness

Small moments of presence can make this season feel more grounded and gentle.

For those who are grieving, the holiday season can bring up a wide range of emotions, and grief may feel especially present at this time. Shifts in routines, annual traditions, and social expectations can all contribute to an amplified sense of loss.

If you are navigating grief, it can be helpful to give yourself permission to slow down, honour your loss in ways that feel supportive, and make space for the full range of feelings that may arise.

If you or a loved one is experiencing grief, what is one way you might bring some gentleness to this time of year?

Winter often brings slower days, reduced sunlight, and a natural pull toward hibernation which can impact our mood, energy, and sense of connection. From a therapeutic perspective, staying gently active and intentionally connected supports emotional regulation, reduces isolation, and helps buffer against seasonal dips in motivation and mood. ❄️💛

Here are supportive ways to nurture yourself this winter:
• Lean into low-pressure movement
• Create small rituals of connection
• Seek light, warmth, and routine
• Plan moments of pleasure, not productivity

Remember: you don’t have to “thrive” this season maintaining is enough. Small choices to engage with your body, environment, and relationships can meaningfully support your emotional health.
Which winter ritual are you hoping to build this year?

Life can feel like one long to-do list, and it’s easy to forget that making time for yourself is just as important as getting things done. That’s where hobbies come in.

Hobbies aren’t just “extra” activities — they’re a powerful form of self-care. Whether it’s painting, running, gardening, journaling, cooking, or playing music, hobbies give your mind a healthy outlet to recharge.

Here’s how hobbies support your mental health:
🌿 They reduce stress & anxiety by shifting your focus away from worries.
🌿 They boost mood & self-esteem as you grow, learn, and create.
🌿 They improve focus & creativity by giving your brain new ways to problem-solve.
🌿 They build community & connection when shared with others.
Making time for what you love isn’t selfish — it’s essential. Even 30 minutes a week can help you feel more grounded, inspired, and at peace.

What hobby helps you feel most like you?

Do you find that the holidays, the chaos and the cold are threatening your intimacy and connection? your not alone.

As the days begin to get shorter, and the to-do lists are getting longer. It can be easy to let your connection and intimacy slip through the cracks. Join us for a cozy lunch and learn this winter where we will begin to explore the reasons why maintaining intimacy and connection is important, and how you can sustain that during the busier (and colder) months. Its time we nurture our relationships. Snuggle up and join us as we dive deep into discussion on this topic.

The verdict is in from our book club: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck gave us plenty to talk about.
We loved the reminder that we get to choose what matters most and how to spend our energy. But we also noticed some blind spots—especially around trauma, identity, and how values are framed.

Overall? It’s a bold read that challenges perfectionism and invites us to live more meaningfully—if you can get past the blunt delivery.

Grief is one of the most universal human experiences, yet it is so often misunderstood. Myths about how grief should look can leave us feeling isolated or ashamed of our experience.

The truth is, grief is not linear, time-limited, or one-size-fits-all. Each person’s journey with loss is unique, and every expression of grief is valid.

If you’re currently navigating grief, please know that however it shows up for you is okay. And although it may feel vulnerable, sharing your journey with others may open up new opportunities for support, connection, and healing.

What’s a myth about grief that you wish more people understood?
