You know I love sharing research and resources that I find valuable--and this book is of the highest value!

This book is dense, yet RICH with research and data that supports what so many of us have observed over the last 10-15 years: social media and screens are not good for children, teens, or adults. The introduction of the iPhone starkly reduced play-based learning and opportunities for social development in real time. I recognize the absolute irony in how I'm sharing this information--yet know the power of balance and moderation :)

If you are at all curious at how in-depth the research goes and the lasting impacts of social media use in all people, I encourage you to dig into this text. I'm currently listening via Audible but plan to buy a hard copy to have easy access to the figures and graphics.

Be well
...and get outside, pick up a real book, or talk to a stranger!

She is beaten, angry, and in need of rest. But just like every other woman she will gather herself together and persist.

I can't say enough about Jamie Bankers with Manes For Change! She has openings for EMDR intensives---if you are interested in concentrated healing I encourage you to reach out to learn more.

This has resonated with more folks over the last couple of days than I can believe! I am so excited for the fresh start 2026 provides us.
I wonder if you've felt a stirring within you that could force change...are you leaning in or avoiding it? What if you aren't ready? Do it anyway. Do it anyway.

Be well
Happy New Year :)

The holiday season can stir up all the feelings — complicated relationships, big expectations, quiet grief, unexpected joy, excitement, hope, and everything in between. 🤍

Whether your picture-perfect Christmas has been sidelined by illness, stress, or disappointment… or you’ve been surprised by a moment of deep joy, my prayer is that you can experience the peace and hope His birth brought to each of us.

Merry Christmas, dear humans. ✨🎄

Another cutesy “how are you today” following the death of my office Keurig.

Thankfully a wise man reminded me that a Caribou Coffee was not far away!

All is well folks, your resident EMDR therapist is caffeinated and ready to serve!

So….How Are You Today?!

11/11/2025

Today, we honor those who have served and recognize that healing doesn’t end when service does. I encourage you all to hold space for the unseen wounds—reminding our veterans and their families that support, strength, and recovery are possible.
Thank you for your service, your resilience, and your courage to keep moving forward. 🇺🇸🫶
