In the 90s I wore a pin that said “kiss me I’m Irish” ☘️ and that was my St. Patty’s Day attire. I recognize that pin is….complicated now, but my point is the simplicity of it.

Why, Why, Why are there suddenly all these expectations for this holiday? It adds to the mental load of everything we are already carrying as parents and humans.

What would you add to this list?

📚Pages & Practice Book ClubA book club in the Tri-Cities for therapists!

Providing space for others fills us up AND it is heavy and isolating. Let’s connect over books and build community. Pages & Practice can be a way for us to reflect and be in community with people who get it.

I’d love to join with other clinicians in the Tri-Cities through meaningful books and a hot beverage. Want to join me?

☕️Let’s read and gather together!

Where are you finding connection and are you open to it?

Today on a wooded trail, I stopped to watch a small group of deer with a kind stranger. We both paused, observing them graze, eyeing us and keeping their distance.

After a few minutes, we exchanged a simple goodbye, and I continued my run.

Such a small moment, yet it carried so much connection.

Micro moments like these help regulate the nervous system and bring a sense of safety and belonging.

Where do you find connection? 🌿

If you have had kids in the last ten years, it’s been hard to escape the world of a blue dog and her family 💙

Honestly I’m here for it.

There’s an episode that has stuck with me, centered around the mom Chili and the very common experience of comparing herself, her parenting, and her baby’s development to the experiences of other moms. The first time I watched it I cried - three kids in, not a new mom, just a parent navigating what feels like the impossible on some days. And lately while holding the collective ongoing trauma of our country with the everyday expectations of daily life, it feels overwhelming.

There’s a line in this episode that anchors me in my hardest moments and I apply to all areas - run your own race. Maybe it resonates with me so much because I am a runner. And as a woman running for decades, I had to give up notions of being the fastest - of winning.

Today I run for nervous system regulation, in a world that feels so heavy, while parenting in impossible standards. And I think, “run your own race”.

Yes, I ran in -4° today with windchill ❄️🏃‍♀️
But it wasn’t about “getting the workout in” or chasing a smaller waistline. Running is my nervous system regulation. Nothing grounds me like being outside, moving, breathing, syncing my body with the rhythm of the run.
I know running isn’t for everyone—trust me, I’ve heard all the strong opinions 😂 And it’s probably annoying how much I’ve talked about it over the years.

But here’s the truth:
Rhythmic movement like running activates the parasympathetic nervous system—the part that creates calm, lowers heart rate, and eases stress. For me, it’s the fastest way to regulate my body and the benefits last the longest.

Learning to befriend my nervous system has changed everything.

How do you regulate your nervous system?

✨My glimmers for today so far…

❄️☃️Coming into my office and seeing the tree out my window covered in snow

☕️Hot coffee with gingerbread creamer in my holiday cup

I was pretty grumpy about the snow and the cold these last couple of days. From my cozy office, in seeing it differently.

Deb Dana, LCSW coined the term “glimmers” - micromoments of regulation. This is not to ignore the hard. Rather to acknowledge that both difficulty and sparks of joy and connection can exist together.

I find I notice many of my glimmers in nature. Being outside, or watching from my window, brings me peace.

What’s your glimmer today?💫

I used to believe that if I was going out for a run, it had to be 30 minutes or it was not worth it. After having my third baby, sometimes I didn’t have 30 minutes to give and I really missed running. I was overstimulated, exhausted and meeting everyone’s needs, except my own. I had to reframe what time for myself meant - any amount of time counted because it was time I was giving myself that I wasn’t giving before. When it came to running that meant if I could run for 10 minutes, it was 10 minutes gained.

It’s really easy to get stuck in what caring for ourselves SHOULD be - the 30 minute workout, a perfect home cooked meal, whatever it is. But for some of us, those standards are paralyzing.

Let’s reframe our expectations of what caring for ourselves looks like. Maybe it’s not the 30 minute meal, but the 10 minute “self-care snack” (or 5?).

Maybe it starts by grounding yourself with your 5 senses.

Books can be such a wonderful resource outside of the therapy space AND there is so much out there it can feel overwhelming to pick one and dive in! With that in mind, I decided to start, THE SOCIAL WORKER’S BOOKSHELF.

I’ll be sharing my suggestions here for books on a range of topics mostly through a parenting lens. Any book I share will be a book Ive read or am currently reading.

Let’s read, reflect, and grow! ✨

Have a recent fave that feels thoughtful? Insightful? Therapeutic? Accessible? Drop it in the comments—I’d love to hear your faves!
