Opportunity for parents who are raising teens with anxious emotions.

11/05/2025

My favorite slang of 2025? “D1 crash out.”
It’s dramatic, sure — but it’s also kind of brilliant. 💥

When a kid says “D1 crash out,” they’re naming something: a huge emotion that doesn’t quite fit the moment. 🎢

It’s an easy, relatable way to say, “maybe that was too much” — without shame.

Because when we can name it, we can regulate it.

11/04/2025

"You can’t co-regulate if you’re dysregulated. When your heart rate spikes, your patience dips, or you feel personally triggered by your child’s emotions, it’s okay to pause. Step away for a few deep breaths, splash water on your face, or remind yourself: this is not an emergency.

When you regulate yourself first, you’re modeling emotional control and giving your child something steady to anchor to. You don’t have to be perfectly calm—just grounded enough to offer calm."

Joanna Hardis’ Just Do Nothing (For Parents) is a thoughtful guide for anyone trying to stay grounded through messy moments with our kids. She reminds us:

“We’re not trying to make uncomfortable moments comfortable. We’re trying to get comfortable with life’s inevitable discomfort.”

A calm, wise read for parents who want to lead with steadiness instead of urgency. I highly recommend it to all who are parenting, especially when your kid leans anxious. https://joannahardis.com/just-do-nothing-for-parents-book/

Sometimes rest isn’t another goal — it’s the medicine.
Burnout recovery isn’t about doing more; it’s about letting your mind and body catch up to the life you’ve been pushing through.
You don’t have to earn rest — you just have to allow it and therapy can help when you are stuck.

Doing More” Isn’t the Cure
If your burnout recovery plan feels like another full-time job — you’re not doing it wrong, you’re just doing too much.
real recovery starts with less: less pressure to optimize.
sometimes rest isn’t another goal — it’s the medicine.

Perfectionism is sneaky.

At first, it pushes you to do well. But then it quietly moves the goalpost—suddenly what was “good enough” yesterday isn’t anymore. Before long, you’re chasing impossible standards and running on empty.

Perfectionism doesn’t protect you from failure but it does prevent you from feeling good about the small steps that will lead you to the goal.

Easier said than done, right? Our minds are wired to notice what’s missing. Gratitude takes practice—but even small shifts can change how the day feels. It sounds simple, but it’s often the hardest habit to build. Start small—one good thing at a time—and watch how your perspective shifts.

Sometimes the best way to take care of your own mental health is by showing up for someone else. 💛 This blog explores how helping others can ease anxiety, boost mood, and even give us a greater sense of purpose. A little kindness really does go a long way—for them and for you.

When I heard Stephen Colbert quote Prince during his Emmy acceptance speech, I instantly got an earworm—and a little flicker of determination in my heart.

As we navigate the world and work toward being our best selves, negative influences feel more accessible than ever. Comparison, internet rage, and our own inner critics are ready to pull us down.

Instead: let’s go crazy… and punch a higher floor.

Happy Friday! Wishing you quality weekend thoughts!

Growth doesn’t come from avoiding discomfort—it comes from learning you can handle it. Each moment you face anxiety, sadness, or fear with compassion, you’re building strength you may not even realize you have.
