Being at school for kids is not just learning, staying motivated, doing the work, listening, and reflecting.

They ALSO have to try to absorb all the external noises/ chatter, navigate social situations and process everything else that happens in their day!

The nutrition breaks are “breaks” sure…but those times can also be SUPER stressful on kids.

By the end of the day, even the “best” kiddos are exhausted mentally and physically.

By the end of their week they are fully overloaded.

These little humans are still trying to find their way and learn about themselves, particularly what they need and feel, and how to manage so many different situations.

Instead of focusing on mistakes they made, try validating what this might be like for them.

Hug, play and most importantly teach them that it’s ok to slow down too.

This is difficult for many folks.

Our inner narrative is a pattern of thinking and reacting that has been in place for a long time.

It's the voice that keeps telling us what's wrong with ourselves…where we are failing.

It's our voice that keeps us submissive, scared and feeling helpless.

If we look past that voice and try to understand what's driving it we might see our need to feel SAFE.

If you want to move towards healing …start with that inner voice.

Self compassion and softening within can create that sense of safety and move you closer to healing.

When you're going through a challenging time it can be difficult to see the glimmers of hope and light.

The hard truth is that every hurt, loss, and painful experience shows us what we can endure...what we are capable of and never thought possible from ourselves.

It sucks now...but it won't always.

Here we go again!

If teachers get apples, parents deserve coffee and naps and..

School Social Workers need warm hugs.

Here’s to surviving and thriving, working out of my car, early mornings, late evenings, and avoiding burnout by December.

Back-to-school season begins! 🍎☕💤

Mindset is pretty much the filter through which you see the world.

It's how you interpret everything that happens…how you see yourself and others.

Think about your attitudes and belief systems…how are they helping you achieve your potential?

How are they holding you back or limiting you?

Are moving through the world with a scarcity mindset or abundance?

If you've never considered what mindset is driving your life maybe it's time to think about it because it can be transformational!
