Is the 5pm darkness hitting you hard? You are not imagining. December is Seasonal Affective Disorder Awareness Month, a time to recognize that the shorter, darker days (like when it’s dark at 5 pm!) can have a significant impact on mental health.

SAD is more than just “winter blues” and can lead to low energy, changes in sleep/appetite, and social withdrawal.

Here are some ways to cope:
• Maximize sunlight exposure by opening blinds or spending time outdoors during daylight hours.
• Stay active with regular exercise to boost mood.
• Stay connected with friends and family to avoid isolation.
• Seek professional help if symptoms persist (light therapy, counseling, or medication may be recommended).

The FDA has removed the “black-box” warning from most systemic estrogen therapies. This is a sign that science around menopause is evolving.

➡️ Old warning: Flagged heart disease, stroke, blood clots, and certain cancers for all women. Based on older studies.

➡️ New understanding: Healthy women under 60 or within 10 years of menopause may benefit more than they’re at risk; relief from hot flashes, night sweats, and other symptoms is now recognized as safe for many.

➡️ Still important: Not for everyone. Women with a history of estrogen-sensitive cancers or blood clots should avoid systemic therapy. Low-dose vaginal estrogen is still largely safe.

Hormone therapy is becoming safer and more personalized. Menopause doesn’t have to mean suffering in silence.

As the nervous system comes off the stimulation of the holiday, many people notice a shift in mood or energy. This can include overstimulation, emotional drop-off, disrupted sleep, or a sense of being “over capacity.”

These experiences are common. They reflect the way the brain regulates after heightened interpersonal and sensory demand. The important step is giving yourself structured support as you transition back into normal routines.

Helpful interventions may include:
• Restoring hydration and predictable meals
• Scheduling quiet time to decompress
• Engaging in grounding skills such as paced breathing or sensory regulation
• Contacting your provider if you feel an increase in symptoms

We work with individuals to stabilize these post-event fluctuations and support mental health recovery throughout the season. Your system is adjusting. You are allowed to take this period slowly and intentionally.

It’s easy to rush from one task to the next and forget to pause.

The “middle passage” is the space in between: Where we step out of doing, turn inward, and let clarity and presence emerge.

“Making space is a radical act of self-care and healing.”
- Dr. Cohen

Even a few minutes of stillness like a deep breath before the next errand or a quiet moment in the car, can restore your energy and help you meet the holiday with steadiness.

The middle passage isn’t about stopping life; it’s about creating space to reconnect with yourself before moving forward.

Wishing you a happy and balanced week ahead 🦃

The Sunday before a holiday week can feel like a deep inhale. Plans, meals, family dynamics, travel, and disrupted schedules can begin to collect in the mind.

Before the week begins, try creating a simple reset.

• Sit for a moment in quiet.
• Take ten slow breaths.
• Name one thing that deserves your energy and one thing you can release.

Your nervous system responds to these small acts. When you create space inside yourself, you move through the week with more patience, more presence, and more strength.

Let this be the moment you set the tone for the week ahead with clarity and steadiness.

The holidays can bring joy…and challenges.

This week, take a moment for yourself, set gentle boundaries, and navigate family and logistics with intention.

Small practices grounded in science can make a big difference.

Recently, we had the pleasure of gathering together:
taking The Moment early in the season to pause, slow down, and recognize what’s working.

It was a chance to appreciate the people who shape this community and to set a grounded tone for the weeks ahead, rooted in connection, gratitude, and the shared purpose that carries the work forward.

Thank you.

Thank you to the brave men and women of the US Armed Forces, for your service and your sacrifice.

Today we pause in gratitude, for those who’ve served, and for the strength it takes to heal and carry on 🇺🇸

We still can do it. 💪
The FDA just removed the black box warning on hormone therapy for menopause — a long overdue correction.

For most women, estrogen is not only safe, it can be transformative for sleep, mood, libido, bone density, heart health, and overall well-being. And it can make or break mental health.

For years, women were told to fear the very treatments that could help them feel like themselves again.

This decision is one more step toward trusting women’s bodies, women’s experiences, and women’s wisdom.

In a country that claims women are equal, we deserve healthcare that supports vitality.

As Sunday fades, we are invited to pause, to take a moment to notice what’s already good ✨

The light, the quiet, the things we’ve created or collected that make us feel at home.

Gratitude before we begin again.
