Intergenerational trauma is real — and so is intergenerational resilience.

History shapes us, but so do the strengths, traditions, and acts of care passed down through generations.

This week, notice where resilience has lived in your family, community, or cultural roots. Small acts of healing ripple forward.

Intuitive eating sounds simple — but for many people, especially those with trauma or chronic stress, it isn’t.

And that’s not a personal failing. It’s the nervous system protecting you.

Fight-or-flight can suppress appetite.
Freeze can numb or distort cues.
Both are normal physiological responses, not “bad habits.”

This Wellness Wednesday, we invite you to approach eating with compassion rather than judgment.

Noticing your patterns, creating moments of safety, and softening shame can help you reconnect with what your body needs — gently, at your own pace.

Your appetite is not a moral issue.
It’s a nervous system story.

Gratitude that silences your pain isn’t healing — it’s suppression.

Grounded gratitude makes space for complexity: the gratitude and the grief, the joy and the exhaustion.

You don’t need to feel thankful for everything to recognize what steadies you through it.
This season, choose honesty over performance. Let your gratitude be real, not rehearsed.

Small actions create big impact. 🌿

Let’s honor Indigenous-led healing by learning, supporting, and amplifying the voices that carry this wisdom forward.

Save this to come back to it anytime. 🤎

It’s World Kindness Week. 💛

This Thursday, November 11, is World Kindness Day.

Take a moment to pause and notice —
where can you offer a little more compassion today?
To yourself? To others?

Kindness isn’t performative — it’s relational.
It’s how we show up: with gentleness, boundaries, and care.

Be soft with yourself today.

That softness ripples outward. 🌿

What a gift it is to be part of a group that truly enjoys one another.

Our team had a wonderful outing today at Russian Tea Time—sipping tea, savoring scones, swapping stories, and pondering life’s hypotheticals (The bathroom there is gorgeous btw).

Sometimes joy isn’t something we stumble upon—it’s something we fight for.

This group embodies that hard-won joy for me, Jenny, its founder. I’m deeply grateful to have a seat at this table, sharing and learning alongside such bright, inspiring humans.

We have something special here, and we welcome you in to join us 💎

Welcome to our Anti-Colonial Wellness Series.

This month, we honor Indigenous knowledge, healing practices, and the ways colonialism has shaped (and limited) our understanding of mental wellness.

Anti-colonial wellness isn’t just theory—it’s practice: learning, unlearning, and building healing spaces rooted in reciprocity, not hierarchy. 🌿

Healing is ancestral. Healing is relational. Healing is radical.
