When you’re true to yourself, the right people find you.

When you stop shrinking to fit in and start showing up as your true self, everything begins to shift. The right people—those who see you, value you, and support your growth—will find their way to you.

It takes courage to be authentic, especially when life has taught you to protect your heart. But healing, peace, and real connection always start with honesty about who you are and what you need. 💛

Be honest, which one are you feeling this week?

Have you noticed your mood dip a little since the clocks changed? You’re not imagining it — the change of seasons can really affect the way we feel.

When daylight hours get shorter, our bodies produce more melatonin (the hormone that makes us sleepy) and less serotonin (the one that helps regulate mood). That shift in light exposure can throw off our sleep, energy, and motivation — sometimes leading to what’s known as seasonal affective disorder (SAD).

These changes aren’t about willpower or mindset; they’re a natural response to the environment. The good news? Once you understand what’s happening in your brain and body, it’s easier to take small steps to support your mood through the darker months.

When we cultivate self-love and compassion, setting boundaries necessary for our recovery and mental wellness becomes easier. We can more easily say “no” to things that don’t serve us and ask for help when needed.

With self-love, we put ourselves in a better position to care for ourselves – physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.♥
