Are you using stress to motivate you or are you often in overwhelm? Do you even know what this looks like? Among other professionals, Dr. Aimie Apigian’s research specifically shows and spells out that what we call “overwhelm” is your body’s way of saying enough. If you’re feeling stuck, tired, or foggy, your stress response might need a reset. Let’s talk about ways to release trauma and build real resilience. If you're interested in learning more, life, comment on this post or message us. More to come soon.

It’s easy to overlook our own pain and needs when we’re busy supporting others or focused on their needs. But holding stress in silence leads to regret—not connection or healing. If you feel invisible or overwhelmed, you’re not alone. Today is a chance to speak up, reach out, and be kind to yourself. What would you say to a friend in your shoes?

When we're looking too far ahead, at something that's too big or too much, it's understandable we can easily get stuck and overwhelmed. The only place we can change is in the present.

Many of us believe that being hard on ourselves is what keeps us motivated. But research shows the opposite — self-criticism causes anxiety and undermines our confidence, while self-compassion helps us to stay resilient and keep going after setbacks.

When we replace our inner critic with an encouraging, supportive inner coach, we don’t lose our drive — we strengthen it.

In this month’s blog, I share how self-compassion fuels motivation and guide you through the Motivating Self-Compassion Break — a short practice to help you turn harsh self-talk into supportive energy for growth and action.

My dear friend/colleague and her family have been significantly impacted by the residual effects of the recent hurricane. I’ve been in contact with her about her current status as well as the community of Asheville, NC. There’s no denying that times are tough and even more so they are for all of those displaced. To also be a professional helper and show up to help others process their grief and trauma while also going through it yourself along with also having to debate with the companies you’ve paid to support and insure you’ll be taken care of in case of catastrophic events, to get basic needs met, is so problematic.

If you feel called to help out by supporting Hope and her family, I know she’d be so grateful and I’d be so happy to know I’ve helped her in all the ways I currently can. If you feel called to contribute by donating and or sharing, it would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Friends, Family, and Community, We’re reaching out to you with h… Anna O'Brien needs your support for Help Hope & Eric Rebuild After Hurricane Helene
