Let’s be honest. Some of you heard “Bad Day” by Justus Bennetts and immediately thought of that person.

You know… the one who drained you, dismissed you, gaslit you, minimized you, and left you questioning your own sanity while they walked around acting like they did nothing wrong.

Yeah. That one.

And here’s the thing.
It is totally normal to have that moment where you hear lyrics like “I hope your iPhone breaks” and go“…honestly, fair.”

Because anger is a real part of healing.
Resentment is a real part of healing.
Wishing karma would speed up the delivery is a real part of healing.

What matters is not staying stuck there.

At some point, you stop hoping their day gets worse and start hoping your life gets better.
You stop replaying what they did and start rebuilding who you are.
You stop giving them mental real estate and start giving yourself peace.

So if this song hits a little too close today, let it.
Feel it.
Sing it a little too loudly in the car.
And then choose yourself again.
Because moving on isn’t about wishing someone else has a bad day.
It’s about making sure you finally have good ones.

Who remembers the fight for Elmo on Black Friday?
People were out there risking their lives for a kids toy.

These days, Black Friday looks a little different. No stampedes, no elbows to the ribs, no wrestling a stranger for the last toy on the shelf. And honestly… thank goodness. Most of us are just trying to make it through the day without an anxiety spike or a full-blown sensory overload.

So here’s your mental health twist:
If you're choosing peace over chaos, sanity over sales, and comfort over crowds, you’re doing Black Friday absolutely right.

Rest. Breathe. Laugh at the memories of people body-checking each other for a Furby. Whatever you do today, make sure it supports your well-being. Your nervous system will thank you.

Your calm is worth more than any doorbuster.

Added bonus, most places have actually started their Black Friday sales online, so put on your favorite pajamas, grab a cup of coffee, and do your shopping at home and really avoid "peopling" and all the chaos that can come with holiday shopping.

Happy Thanksgiving from Northern Lights Therapy.

Today is not about pretending life is perfect or forcing a smile when things feel heavy. It is about slowing down for a moment and recognizing the people, support, and small pieces of peace that carry us through. Even the messy parts. Even the complicated parts.

To our clients, our communities, and everyone who lets us walk beside them in their hardest seasons, thank you. Your courage, your trust, your vulnerability, and the work you do in those rooms mean more to us than we can ever fully put into words. You are the reason we show up every day.

To Maricopa, Chandler, and Casa Grande, thank you for accepting us, supporting us, and allowing us to grow right alongside you. This year brought more change, more connection, and more purpose than we could have imagined.

We hope today gives you even one moment of calm or connection. Whatever your day looks like, you deserve to breathe, to rest, and to exist without pressure.

From our NLT family to yours, thank you for being here. You matter.

YOU MATTER!

And not everyone at the holiday table is going to understand that… and that’s ok.

The truth is, some people project their own hurt, fear, and unresolved trauma onto the easiest target in the room. That doesn’t make their words true. It doesn’t make their opinions fact. And it definitely doesn’t define your worth.

If the holidays feel heavy, take a breath, take a break, and remember this one thing: you are still enough, exactly as you are.

Protect your peace. You matter.

🦃🧡A Thanksgiving Message to Our Community 🧡🦃

As the founder of Northern Lights Therapy, I want to take a moment to share my deepest gratitude with our community. Thank you for the constant support you have shown us over the years. Thank you for believing in our mission, trusting us with your care, and allowing us to be part of your healing journeys.

To the fellow business owners and non-profits who continue to show up for your neighborhoods and work tirelessly to make your communities stronger and healthier, I see you and I appreciate you. Your dedication matters more than you will ever know.

To every individual who shares our posts or recommends our services, please know the impact you make. A simple share can reach someone on the worst day of their life and remind them they are not alone. You may never know who you helped, but I promise you someone felt it.

To all of my clinicians and staff, you are the heart of NLT. You show up every day, not for money or recognition, but because you care. You show up because you want people to heal, because you want people to know they have even one person in their corner helping them find their light. NLT is what it is because of you, and I am endlessly grateful.

Every single day I am still astonished by what Northern Lights Therapy has grown into since I opened the doors in March of 2020. I could not be more proud. The journey has come with lessons, struggles, setbacks, and moments of feeling stretched thin, but every challenge has pushed us to grow and refine who we are. We take the hard moments, learn from them, and come back bigger, stronger, and better for the people we serve.

To the community: thank you for everything you do to heal yourselves. Thank you for trying. Thank you for not giving up. Please remember to give yourself grace and take time this weekend to rest, breathe, and be present with the people who matter to you. The world feels heavy, but there is still hope and light in small places if we slow down long enough to notice them. Every single one of you deserves that glimpse of hope, that smile, that moment of laughter, even when life feels like it is falling apart. Hold on to those moments. They matter.

As always, we are here to help. We know the year ahead may be heavier for many, and I want you to know that we are already working to adapt and pivot so that you can continue to receive the care and support you deserve.

Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you for being part of our NLT family.

Support our owner as she walks 25 miles for C.O.P.S.

Our owner, Brianna Reinhold, is taking on a 25-mile walk to honor those who gave everything in the line of duty and to support the families they left behind. She is walking for Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.), an organization that provides real resources, counseling, and long-term support for survivors and the law enforcement community.

This mission is deeply personal for Brianna. She grew up in a law enforcement family, has lost friends in the line of duty, and works closely with first responders who carry the weight of that loss every day. Supporting them is not just part of her work. It’s part of who she is.

As a community, we’re stepping up with her.
So far, we’ve raised $600 toward the $1,000 goal.
Your support—big or small—helps push this mission forward.

If you’d like to donate or share the link, you can do so here:

Thank you for helping us honor the fallen, uplift their families, and stand beside the heroes still serving. You matter.

Maricopa… you did it.
You hit the $500 donation goal for the BraydenStrong Toy Drive, and NLT matched every single dollar just like we promised.

Thank you for showing up. Thank you for proving, once again, that this community doesn’t just talk about support — it actually lives it.

If you still want to donate, please do. The BraydenStrong team is continuing to accept contributions, and there are so many families who could use support this year — with gifts, with food, with a little hope when things feel heavy.

You can also continue nominating families in need. To donate or submit a nomination, reach out directly to Katrina at: 📧 freebirdart2023@gmail.com

Let’s keep the momentum going. Maricopa has always had heart, and this is exactly what it looks like.

Casa Grande… you did THAT.

Our Casa Grande office has officially been named a Top 3 Finalist for Greatest of the Grande 2025 for Counseling Services — and we opened our doors there in MAY.

Five months. That’s all it took for this community to show up for us in a huge way, and we are honestly blown away.

Thank you, Casa Grande, for the support, the trust, the kindness, and the way you’ve welcomed us in like we’ve been here forever. We don’t take any of it lightly.

Northern Lights Therapy exists for one reason… to help heal the communities we serve. And CG, you’ve made it clear you’re ready for exactly that.

We’re here to provide:
• Quality therapy from clinicians who truly care
• Support for kids, teens, adults, couples, and families
• Trainings, partnerships, and community events
• Donations and involvement that actually make a difference
• A safe place to land when life gets heavy

Being recognized like this isn’t the “win” — you are.
Your resilience. Your stories. Your trust in us.

We cannot wait to keep growing with you and for you.
Thank you, Casa Grande, for an incredible start. Let’s see how far we can take this together. 💚🖤
