"the goal isn't perfection, it's presence."

What does that mean to you? If you're struggling with your mental health, often times parts of our brains tell us "it has to be right," "I have to be perfect," or maybe even "if I'm broken, no one will want me around."

The truth is, you are so much more. You show up everyday and that is enough.

Grief has a way of coming and going. Sometimes you can predict when the grief will hit, while other days, it seems to come out of the blue. Today is a day to take a moment and honor the grief you have been feeling. Your grief is valid, and it is seen

Grief doesn’t follow a straight path, and that’s okay.

Take time to rest, remember, and reach for support if you need it. Healing takes community.

Join the joyful mind's intern, Liz Cravillion , for her next talk on what anxiety really is. These little talks not only help you better understand what anxiety is and how it works in your brain, but it helps break the stigma of mental health.

In the past two weeks, I've held two classes on the topic of What is Anxiety, Really? and taught around 100 people about the science behind anxiety and its complexity.

I've had incredible conversations with people about mental health and trauma healing. THIS is breaking the stigma! THIS is how we change the way our society thinks about brain health and emotional well-being. THIS is how individuals are taking the first steps toward healing.

I'm teaching two more this month at the following dates/times/places:
Zion Community Church, Marshfield, on Thursday, November 13, at 6:30pm
Edgar Community Church, Edgar, November 23 at 6:00 pm.

This is a free class, open to the public at both locations.

You are welcome to join me! Let's open this conversation and start to find relief from anxiety.
