Sometimes we just need to see our stories.

Not the one where trauma is “inspiring.” Not where joy has to be earned. Not where complexity gets flattened into a lesson for others.

These films and series honor the mess, the beauty, and the survival. They remind us that being fully human doesn’t require explanation or apology.

Representation without honesty is just performance. But when storytellers get it right? That’s when healing starts to feel within reach.

Double-tap if a story ever made you feel less alone in your truth.

The guilt of resting during a crisis is real. So is the collapse that comes from not resting.

The news doesn’t stop. The organizing doesn’t stop. The violations of dignity and safety don’t stop. And somewhere in there, you’re supposed to also... function? Work? Sleep? Exist as a whole person and not just a reaction to injustice?

The tension is also real. But there are ways to stay engaged that don’t require you to sacrifice your mental health on the altar of “doing enough.”

Some days you’ll show up strong.

Some days you’ll barely show up at all.

Some days your contribution is organizing.

Some days it’s just surviving your own life while still caring.

All of it counts. None of it makes you less committed.

You’re allowed to choose your battles based on capacity, not guilt.

Double-tap if you agree.

Nobody gets to tell you that your fear is irrational when the news keeps proving it’s not.

With ICE enforcement operations are happening in communities across the country, with policies shifting overnight, with the question “am I safe here?” becoming real instead of hypothetical, your fear makes sense.

The difference between anxiety and legitimate fear is context. And right now, the context is that some of us are carrying fears that other people get to call “political opinions.”

Self-care culture will tell you to “stay positive” or “focus on what you can control.”

We’re telling you something different.
You’re allowed to be afraid.
You’re allowed to feel unsafe when conditions are unsafe.
You’re allowed to acknowledge that some threats aren’t just in your head.
Your fear is information. What you do with it is where the care comes in.

Your grief about people you’ve never met is still real grief.

We’re acknowledging that when communities experience trauma, we all feel it differently, and all of those feelings deserve space.

This week, as we hold the names of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, as communities continue to protest, your nervous system is allowed to be on high alert.

Your capacity is allowed to be lower.

Your anger is allowed to exist alongside your exhaustion.

Community care means both showing up and knowing when to step back.

There’s no right way to hold collective grief, but you definitely don’t need to hold it alone.

Some books inform you. Others transform you.

The difference is whether the author understands the weight you carry, the cycles you’re breaking, and the healing that looks different when it accounts for your lived experience.

These books don’t just tell Black stories.

They validate feelings you thought you had to keep quiet and let you see patterns you’re ready to release.

Happy Black History Month!

Do you actually want to, or do you just feel obliged to? 🤔

When you’ve been trained to say “yes” all your life, the line between willingness and obligation blurs so easily. ✏️

So while it can feel like you’re “happy” to do something, there can be a knot in your stomach when you listen closely. 🔍

If this is a familiar scenario, above are some things you can try to more clearly recognize the difference between willingness and obligation. ☝️

Remember that your “yes’s” deserve to be given to people and plans your heart is actually into, not just because you feel forced to. 😉

Do we really NOT see color in our homes?
Because sometimes, behavior can tell otherwise.

Lighter skin is almost always viewed as a proxy for innocence and darker skin as a sign of “toughness.” With this belief, children are robbed of their right to be vulnerable.

Real change is having this uncomfortable realization that you might be softer on one child because their features align more closely with a standard you were taught to admire.

The real world is hard enough; the home should be the one place where complexion doesn’t determine the amount of protection, patience, or praise our children receive.

Who else grew up believing that loving your family meant accepting every single thing they do, even when it hurts?

You see, you can love your family and still decide that their “normal” is no longer healthy for you.

It may look like:
✨ Deciding which phone calls you have the capacity to answer and which ones can go to voicemail.
✨ Choosing not to participate in the same arguments that have been happening for twenty years.
✨ Creating physical or emotional distance so you can unlearn behaviors you didn’t even realize you picked up.

You can be grateful for the foundation your family provided while acknowledging that the house they built has some rooms you can no longer live in.

Being a “strong” parent is a trap.

And we’re tired of seeing parents fall for it.

No, you’re not failing your kids if you can’t nor didn’t do every single thing for them.

Trying to play every role for them could result in us losing ourselves in the process.

We have to stop treating “help” like it’s a dirty word or a last resort for when we’re at a breaking point. Building a village is also about:

🍎 Showing your kids that love comes in many different forms and voices.

🛑 Teaching them that it’s okay to have needs and ask for support.

🔋 Giving yourself the actual space to be a parent, not just a task manager.

⛓️ Breaking the cycle of “keeping it in the house” that has kept us isolated for generations.

I’m curious, what does your support system actually look like right now? If you could share it with us in the comments!

We have to stop setting the bar that low for our kids.

Breaking the cycle means choosing to go in the direction that also serves our children’s future by:

✨ Keeping the village mentality and the way we show up for our community.
✨ Keeping the high standards and the pride in our excellence.
💨 Letting go of using fear to “break” a child’s spirit before the world does.
💨 Letting go of the idea that a child’s opinion is a sign of disrespect.

It’s time we stop raising children who have to spend their entire adulthood recovering from their upbringing.

We aren’t just protecting them from the world anymore; we’re making sure they never have to protect themselves from us. ❤️‍🩹

There’s a common misconception that choosing empathy means we have to retire our authority, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

The shift happens when we move from “because I said so” to “here is why this limit exists.”

Having strict rules in place is teaching our kids to act respectfully and if applicable, receive consequences.

We can be incredibly firm about the rule while helping them regulate themselves.

The goal isn’t for us to raise a child who is “obedient” out of fear, but one who understands the value of cooperation.

We can hold the line and hold their hand at the same time. 

That’s where the real work happens, not in the absence of rules, but in the clarity and respect we put behind them.

“Being strong” is making us stuck.

We’ve been told that as long as we’re still moving, we aren’t burnt out, but how long can “ just getting through the day” bring us?

We’re likely ignoring the way our kindness is turning into irritability and how our passion has been replaced by a “just get it over with” attitude.

The truth is, burnout isn’t a wall we hit all at once; it’s a slow fade of who we are.

We feel like we’re failing because things that used to be easy now feel like a chore, but our systems are just overwhelmed from carrying the weight of everyone else’s expectations.

It’s time to stop pushing our well-being to the bottom of the to-do list.
