MC Wellness Live Well. Do Better.

12/29/2025

Try to remember that not everyone has a warm and fuzzy family to spend these holidays with.
For many, it is a reminder of a life/love they once had or continue to dream about.
Try to extend an extra amount of grace as 2025 wraps up!

Remember:
-pause and take deep breaths to ground yourself
-try not to personalize (thinking other’s poor behavior is because of you or directed at you)
-try to stay present!!
-you only have to do today once!
-you get to choose how you respond, NO response is always an option!!
-take care of you and seek Joy.

Have a safe and Happy Nee Year!!

Wow this is definitely an insight to be considered. Compassion doesn’t negate hurt. Compassion could help to build the bridge of connection.

Serving FR and our military (active duty and retired), has been a passion since beginning this journey. If you haven’t listened to The HeadRush Podcast with Paul Frase and Corey Berry, please tune in in your commute!
RHI and RBE affects not only the person exposed, it affects those around them, their loved ones, especially their partner/spouse who often is their caregiver.
There is so much to learn. This resource is a great place to start.
There is a special place in my heart for Corey and Paul. Their passion for knowledge and to increase awareness WHILE each of them are navigating the impact of RHI in their own lives is awe inspiring.
They are open and vulnerable with their journeys.
Their friendship born from a common mission is priceless.
Bringing Hope to those impacted by TBI/RBE/TES.

We are in the MIDST of the holiday season. How are you doing?
Thanksgiving was more challenging this year for me. With grown children who are creating their own traditions, I cook on Thursday and we celebrate together on Friday. Growing up, it was difficult to enjoy the day with family while rushing to get to the “next” house!! I eliminated the hustle and bustle for the boys while giving myself time to prepare their favorites! This year, the 8th anniversary of my Daddy’s passing was on the day we celebrate! Of course I made an apple pie and ate a piece (or 5) in rememberance of him, I cried and it was ok.
Life moves quickly; people enter our lives, some leave sooner than we’d like, while others don’t leave soon enough.🤷🏼‍♀️
For me, i have to have my community, my core people who see me at my worst and remind me to do my best.
How are you planning to navigate Christmas?
Alone is hard!
Some things to consider:
Reach out to your family/community/church
Serving less fortunate
Celebrate how far you’ve come
Volunteer at a local charity

Our team at MCW and ASIC Recovery Services sre here to support in any way we can. The first step is to reach out and plan to do ONE thing different!

Prayers for a peaceful holiday filled with blessings for every person and family who reads this.

Merry Christmas to you and yours!
