Community Spotlight 💕

This Valentine’s season, The Speech Shed kiddos were adopted by community members from Karnes and Wilson County.

Each Valentine remained anonymous to respect our families privacy. Some adopters chose to stay anonymous, while others are tagged below so we can celebrate their generosity.

Whether your name is listed or not, please know how deeply grateful we are. Your kindness helps our kids feel seen, celebrated, and encouraged for all the hard work they put in every single week.

It truly takes a village and we are so thankful ours is something special.

We can’t wait to do this again. ❤️

👏Please give the businesses mentioned a follow!

🧩We hosted our very first Autism Support Group at The Speech Shed, and my heart is so full.🧩

This space held vulnerability, meaningful conversations, new connections, and moms who had never met before yet shared so much in common. Parenting is beautiful, but it’s also hard and having a place to breathe, relate, and feel like you belong matters so much.

I hope you’ll join us next month 🫶🏻 I am excited to welcome Paula Lyssy, owner of Rural Texas Psychoeducational Services, PLLC, who will be helping lead next month’s group. Paula is a Licensed Professional Counselor/Licensed School Psychologist. I can’t wait to learn from her and hear the wisdom she brings.

Registration is required & limited to 10 caregivers

💛Today’s Raising Healthy Families event was one for the books 💛

A full kitchen. Tables packed with colorful, nutrient-dense ingredients. And families learning how to build simple protein bowls that actually work for real life.

This wasn’t about perfection or fancy recipes.
It was about fuel.

Fuel for:
• the busy mama running out the door
• the college student juggling work + school
• the parent trying to keep everyone fed and regulated

Here’s the why 👇
When we feed our gut, we’re also feeding our brain.

The gut–brain connection plays a huge role in how we:
• think
• feel
• focus
• regulate our bodies

Healthy bellies help support healthy brains 🧠✨
And when our brains are supported, we can show up, function, and feel better.

We are SO grateful for everyone who showed up, cooked together, learned together, and filled the room with such good energy 🫶🏻

Missed this one? Don’t worry…we’re hoping to get another Raising Healthy Families event on the calendar for next month! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
