Reminder, the sweetest things we can hand out don’t come in wrappers.

👻 So this “scary season,” maybe what’s haunting us isn’t the dark— it’s what we’ve normalized.

When your Type A brain wants perfect but your ADHD says nah — this is your reminder.

👉🏼 save this for when your routine starts slipping

08/20/2025

✨ Asking for help shouldn’t feel so hard… but if you live with ADHD or high-functioning anxiety, you know it often does.

Sometimes it’s fear of being judged. Sometimes it’s not even knowing what you feel or need. And sometimes? Your brain just shuts down from overwhelm and it feels easier to push through alone.

But here’s the truth: needing help doesn’t make you weak. It makes you human. 💛

Hi, I’m Massy 👋—a Licensed Professional Counselor, mom of 2, and fellow ADHDer. I share reminders, tools, and real-life reflections to help you untangle anxiety and ADHD without the shame spiral.

Save this post for the days you need courage to reach out—and share it with someone who might need the reminder. You’re not alone. ✨

If I had it my way, every Sunday would include family time, a little prep, something just for me, and a slower night. Truth? It doesn’t always happen—but when it does, the week feels a whole lot lighter. ✨

Do you have a Sunday ritual that helps you feel ready for the week? Share your tips—I’m always looking for new ones 👀💌

These past few months have been a whirlwind of baby snuggles, sunshine, nature walks, and a few plot twists (looking at you, unexpected hospital stay 😅).

I’m not back to the office just yet — mid-August! — but I’m starting to ease in… reaching out to existing clients, opening a few fall spots, giving my office space a little glow-up, and feeling that familiar excitement bubble up.

I’ve missed the real, meaningful convos. The quiet breakthroughs. The sacred messiness of being human.

Grateful for this season of pause — and ready to slowly step back into the work I love. 🤍

While the world feels like it’s unraveling in so many ways, I’ve been in my own little bubble —navigating the tender, exhausting, beautiful blur of postpartum life.

This is my second time doing this, and I came into it with intention: to protect my peace, my mind, and my family. After struggling with postpartum the first time around, I’ve been fiercely gentle with myself this time. Slower to respond, quicker to rest. Softer with my expectations.

I’ll share more about what I’ve learned and what’s been different this time—especially in hopes that it can help someone else. But for now, I just wanted to check in, say hi, and remind you: you’re allowed to prioritize your wellness, even when the world is heavy. Sending so much love to anyone reading this—you’re not alone. 🤍

Life’s been all kinds of exciting lately! ✨ I’ve been deep in prep mode for maternity leave—trying to care for myself and this sweet baby while tying up loose ends at work. Between perioral dermatitis flare-ups, nonstress tests, and high blood pressure… the struggle has been very real.

But my cup has also been full of beautiful moments: heartfelt sessions with clients, new connections, birthday parties, baby showers, and friends moving nearby. It’s been a season of highs and lows, and I’m taking it all in.

Now, I’m getting ready for what’s next: stepping into life as a mom of two ✌️ and temporarily stepping away from the practice I love. I’m endlessly grateful for my clients’ grace and trust—it’s not lost on me how special that is.

I hope to share more as it feels right. I’m committed to showing up when it’s real—not just for content or likes, but for connection. That’s always been my way. 🌸

Feeling stuck in old wounds? Healing is hard, but staying in the past is even harder. Sometimes, without realizing it, we hold onto patterns that keep us there. What if you chose something different?

✨Blaming Others Forever → Reclaiming Your Power – Acknowledging what happened while also recognizing that your healing is in your hands.
✨ Avoiding Self-Reflection → Embracing Self-Compassion – Looking at your patterns not to judge yourself, but to understand and support your growth.
✨ Thinking Healing Means Excusing Harm → Understanding It’s for You – Letting go doesn’t mean what happened was okay—it means you deserve peace.
✨ Suppressing Emotions → Giving Yourself Permission to Feel – Your feelings are valid. Processing them is part of healing, not a sign of weakness.
✨ Seeking Validation from the Wrong People → Learning to Validate Yourself – You don’t have to prove your worth to anyone. You are already enough.
✨ Reenacting the Past → Choosing New Patterns – Familiar doesn’t always mean safe. You have the power to create something different.
✨ Clinging to the ‘Wounded Child’ Identity → Embracing Your Whole Self – Your past is part of you, but it doesn’t define you. You are so much more.
✨ Fearing Change → Trusting Yourself – Growth can feel uncomfortable, but you are capable of navigating it with courage and care.
✨ Expecting Others to Fix It → Taking Small Steps for Yourself – Support is important, but your healing journey is your own. Even small steps matter.
✨ Minimizing Your Pain → Honoring Your Experience – Your feelings and experiences are real. Giving yourself the compassion you needed back then can be deeply healing.

It’s time to decide you’re worth more than staying stuck in your wounds ♥️

How can we acknowledge and process emotions instead of turning away from them? One way is by using this mindfulness practice by Tara Brach 👇🏽

R: Recognize what sensations, emotions, and thoughts are present for you. “Ouch. I feel tension in my chest. Tightness in my face. Racing negative thoughts. This is a moment of suffering.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A: Allow whatever arises in you to be. “Okay, I feel angry right now. It’s allowed to be here.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I: Investigate your experience through the lens of compassion. “What small, kind action can I offer myself right now? What do I need to feel supported?”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
N: Nurture yourself. “I’m here, doing the best I can. I won’t abandon myself right now.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you know the ways you typically avoid your feelings? 💭

New month, same world—same challenges, same noise, same pressures. But instead of forcing ourselves into hustle mode or pretending everything is fine, what if we just checked in with ourselves?

Here are 10 questions I’m asking myself this month to stay grounded, intentional, and compassionate with myself.

Keep in mind, if this month is about just getting through, that’s valid. If it’s about showing up for yourself in small ways, that’s enough. If all you do is survive and care for yourself and your people—that matters.

✨ Drop a ❤️ in the comments if you’re setting an intention for February. And if any of these questions resonated with you, let me know which one hit the most. Let’s reflect together.

Anxiety doesn’t disappear overnight, but managing it is a skill—and every small win matters. 💪 Here are some signs you’re doing better than you might think:

✨ You recognize your triggers and prepare for them. ✨ You don’t let fear stop you from taking action. ✨ You bounce back faster after tough moments. ✨ You can self-soothe with healthy strategies. ✨ You ask for help when you need it.

Every time you show up for yourself, you’re growing stronger. 💖 Remember, progress isn’t about being “perfect”—it’s about learning and moving forward, one day at a time.

What’s a tip or practice that’s helped you manage your anxiety? Let’s share and support each other in the comments! 💬👇

Helping People Live Better Lives

My name is Massiel Bradberry, but you can call me Massy!

Individuals that work with me say I have an easy going and inviting approach to counseling. While I will challenge you to step out of your comfort zone, my main goal is for us to build a relationship where you feel safe, accepted, and welcomed. In my sessions you will not be judged, but rather shown compassion and empathy. I'll listen to you and work with you on a plan that fits your needs to create the changes that you wish to achieve. It will be hard, don't get me wrong, but I will be there every step of the way providing all the support and accountability that I can. This is my promise to you!

I love connecting with people and forming meaningful relationships with those who cross my path. I enjoy spending time with friends and family, going outside, exercising, dancing and trying new things. I also enjoy traveling, cooking, movies nights, books, and concerts!

I’m a state board Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified Health Coach. I have many years of experience working with a diverse clientele in a variety of settings across the Northwest Arkansas, California, and the Dominican Republic.
