I will share this one every SINGLE year. Please be aware that this is not a casual topic for many; it's actually the hardest thing they have ever gone through.

Rarely ill intended, but often times an unwelcome question. You never know what is really going on in someones life and their true reasons for making certain decisions. They may not have a choice at that moment.

Change is often uncomfortable and does not happen overnight

I have a few openings this month, as clients who are meeting their goals can decrease their session frequency.

Let me know if you are interested in taking control of your mental health and well-being! Tis' the season!

As someone raising a son, I want to be proactive to counter the stereotype often placed on men —the idea that they have to be told what to do around the house. I want to raise both of my children to be aware of their surroundings and act without being asked.
In addition, I have had several parents frustrated with their children, saying they "are not helpful." I challenge that Idea; is it that they are unhelpful, OR is it that they are unaware?

Here is a free tool to help you build awareness with your child and teach them how to look around and see what may need to be done in your home when they "don't know what needs to be done."

I recently had a friend ask me how their child could’ve handled a situation differently when they were accused of doing something they actually did not do. When I asked them how it was handled in the moment, she responded, “They yelled at the principal, but they had every right to be mad.”
I explained to her that she was half correct; Her child did have every right to be mad, but he had absolutely no right to yell at an adult or anyone else.
We talked about ways her child could have expressed their frustration without being punished for yelling at the administrator. I think we have ourselves confused that our anger justifies our yelling, especially as adults.

Just a friendly reminder that when you raise your voice to get a point across, people don’t listen to your words- they focus on your behavior.

The next person we want to celebrate and spotlight is Angela Morgan!

Just because you get the green light from your doctor to "resume normal life" at six weeks postpartum does not mean that you should feel "normal" or feel rushed to get that way. It can take up to a year or even longer for a woman to fully recover and begin to feel like herself again. It may take up to:

8 weeks or more to stop bleeding
6-12 months for your hormones to stabilize
6-12 months to stop losing hair and stabilize
a year or more for your pelvic floor and abdominal muscles to "go back to normal"
6 months to 18 years to ever sleep again (kidding)
And so much more...

Let's normalize not bouncing back in a world that makes us feel like we have to do it all and do it quickly. This journey is not linear, and we should be kind to ourselves during one of the most vulnerable times that a woman will experience.
