The "most wonderful time of the year" can also be the heaviest.

Between the pressure to be "on," the memories of those no longer with us, and the exhaustion of keeping the peace, the holidays can take a significant toll on our mental well-being. If you find yourself more in survival mode than celebration mode, please know:

You aren’t "ruining" the holiday by feeling sad or tired.

Your worth isn’t measured by how much "sparkle" you feel.

It’s okay to set boundaries to protect your peace.

We see you, we hold space for you, and we’re sending extra warmth to those just trying to get through. 💙

Sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is let go of "normal." Trying to fit into a box that isn't meant for you is exhausting and frankly, a little boring! 😴 Your true self is your best self. Don't ever trade your authentic sparkle for someone else's idea of standard. ✨

Your mind is the canvas, and your life is the masterpiece. In the journey of mental wellness, sometimes the biggest hurdle is believing in your own limitless potential.

When dealing with mental health, the biggest achievement is showing up for yourself every day. It takes time to build new coping mechanisms; shift thought patterns and truly heal. Honor your progress, no matter how small.

The next time you feel a wave of anger, pause and ask yourself: "What am I truly feeling right now?" 🤔

This iceberg reminds us of that anger (what we show) is often a protector for deeper, more painful emotions (what we hide) like sadness, anxiety, or feeling disrespected. Getting curious about the root cause is the first step toward self-compassion and effective communication.
