IN-PERSON TRAINING ON DECEMBER 5TH – FREE CEUs! 🎯

People often seek therapy when they realize they have spent much time caring for others and have consistently put themselves last. Others present with anxiety and constant self judgement that comes from perfectionism. Others carry guilt and shame that has created a burden that feels too heavy to carry. All of these people (and maybe you too) can benefit from self compassion. This training will utilize both didactic and experiential learning styles.

🗓 Date: Friday, December 5, 2025
🕘 Time: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Who is Rescuing Whom?

Unconditional love can be hard to come by. We hope for it from our parents, friends, and partners, but there’s one place you’re guaranteed to find it: your local animal shelter. The love of a rescued animal is a special kind of magic.

Research shows this powerful bond is transformative. Adopting a pet can lower stress, ease feelings of loneliness, and improve your overall mental and physical health. You don't just change their world by giving them a home—they change yours by filling it with devotion, laughter, companionship, and, of course, Gratitude.

Show Yourself Some Gratitude

Ever make a mistake? Welcome to the club—it’s massive, and everyone’s in it.

No human (past the toddler stage) gets through life without messing up. So why do some people bounce back quickly, while others—maybe you—get stuck in guilt or shame?

The difference isn’t perfection. It’s Self-Compassion.

Self-compassion is the quiet strength to say, “That was hard… and I’m still worthy.” It’s not letting yourself off the hook—it’s helping yourself get back up.

You deserve the same kindness you’d offer a friend.

What’s something kind you can say to yourself today? Please comment below 👇, and feel free to follow and share.

The Future is in Your Hands—Literally!

There’s mindless scrolling—and then there’s mindful connecting.

That phone in your hand? It can be a portal to distraction… or a bridge to something deeper.
You can spend hours scrolling without purpose—or you can choose to use that same technology to reach out, express gratitude, and connect with those who give and receive support.

Take a moment to message someone you appreciate. Say thank you. Ask how they’re doing. Let technology serve as a tool for gratitude, not just consumption.
The difference isn’t the device. It’s the intention. 💛📱

Who will you reach out to today? Feel free to express your gratitude to a friend or other supporter below 👇, and please follow and share.
