Today as we celebrate Irish culture and don our green, may we also consider how lucky we are to have another day. Just like that pesky, uncatchable Leprechaun, it’s hard to see what we have. The pot of gold isn’t always just out of reach at the end of the rainbow sometimes it’s right under our noses waiting for us to truly see it. Nothing is ever only sunshine and rainbows, but there is generally always more good in our lives then we give credit. It’s the small and simple things we need to draw attention to and savor. Maybe we capture our own luck with practices of gratitude and shifting our perspectives to focus on the good.

Go n-éirí an t-ádh leat!
(pronounced guh ny-ree on taw lat)
“May luck rise to you”

No better day than today to reflect on where we have come from - all the sacrifices, battles, and injustices women have faced and overcome. That uphill journey continues and is threatened constantly. Independently, we are powerful, but together we can change the world. Reflect today on where you are at, how far you’ve come, and where you want to be. Hold space for each other, uplift one another, and straighten each other’s crowns - this is our time to unite and know our value and together make an impact.

If we expect our partner of twenty years to be the same person they were when we met, we are setting ourselves up for disappointment. Everyone grows and changes as they age - physically, mentally, and emotionally and that is both normal and okay. Maybe we realize those changes make us or our partner no longer a good fit for each other and acknowledging that might be the healthiest move we could make. BUT maybe we dedicate this next phase of life to falling in love with this version of your partner - the one who has seen you through the highs and the lows, the milestones, and the challenges. Maybe it’s harder than just walking away and starting fresh, but what of value in life is not without its work. So avoid burnout and stagnation with intentional effort through strong communication, shared rituals, and an openness to discovery of the couple you are today. If you’re looking for help, we’re always here to support your reconnection!

A reminder to not get caught up in the race to the finish. For one thing, we will never know when our end point will be - maybe we’re lucky and we make it into old age a privilege not everyone will enjoy or maybe we are gone too soon. Preparation for our futures financially and logistically are important, and I think sometimes especially in times of economic stress, those priorities take center stage and the present gets missed. When people talk about work life balance - I get the urge to roll my eyes as a mom of four with a never ending to do list filled with appointments, school events and projects and late nights of homework, meals - so many meals and snacks, sports, laundry, and the list goes on. So implying that striking a balance is simple is laughable. Making time to prioritize the present and making space for self care and healthy relationships and connection is hard, BUT when we don’t do the hard work to make it happen, we may very well be waiting for the finale and missing the beautiful and exciting notes of our own symphonies. Rally your support teams today, start calling that phone tree to enact the village of friends and family, and add in your mental wellness professionals - the time to start renegotiating how your life is spent is now.

While we should be strengthening our relationships by doing small, simple things daily rather than stressing about grand gestures one day a year, I’ll indulge the day of love by sharing about a great concept to keep your emotional bank in the black all year round!

One of the many helpful concepts from The Gottman Institute involves our Emotional Bank Account. When we turn towards our partner with bids of affection and those small, simple gestures, we are creating positive interactions that add to our bank account. On the flip side, when we turn away from our partner’s bids or have negative interactions, we make a withdrawal. If we hit zero or go into the red, our relationship suffers. From the red, we tend to view slights through a more negative lens. When we are in the black, we tend to give our partner the benefit of the doubt and have a more positive outlook on our relationship even when things aren’t perfect. Gottman data supports the 5:1 theory that a thriving relationship requires 5 positive interactions to every 1 negative.

Remember it’s not a competition, it’s a joint account. Team effort to keep the funds flowing. Start thinking about your ratio now.

Several of our practitioners are trained or certified in Gottman’s Method to better support our clients with their partners and relationships. If you think your relationship could use an extra boost to get your “accounts” in order, contact us today!

Tying in today’s big game with a big tip. Our bodies and minds are connected. When feeling distress - pairing muscle relaxation exercises and deep breathing and perhaps also soothing words or mantras, we can help calm our bodies down. Whether you are playing in the game or an enthusiastic fan, our adrenaline can pump up our sympathetic nervous system making us ready to fight, get anxious, or tense so when it’s time to get our systems back in check, it’s good to have the tools to kickstart the parasympathetic nervous system to remind ourselves, we are safe. Whether it’s game day excitement or real word anxiety, the system works the same. The more we practice body and mind relaxation when we are calm the more effective we can be in utilizing our coping skills in times of crisis … or when our team doesn’t come out on top 😉

I just watched a man free solo one of the tallest buildings in the world, and I am in awe. In light of the horror and tragedy happening all around in our country, it is important to amplify the light and remember the incredible strength, courage, and wonder our species is capable of. I feeling a lot of defeat lately and it’s understandable to feel whatever you’re feeling. But we each have strengths, we have the ability to see the possibility and hold fast to hope for a better future. As always, you are not alone. Seek out your support system or a professional to process how you’re feeling and focus on your self care so that we may all push forward together with courage and hope.

Keep fighting the good fight. Another MLK Jr. day to remind us of our collective duty to embrace our neighbors, see our differences as strengths to be utilized to make our communities stronger. Diversity is critical not only in building thriving communities but also to teach ourselves and our children about traditions, tolerance, and inclusivity. Don’t let fear … stoked fear… deter your ability to stand up for others.

Sometimes all we need is a little perspective reset. Those who don’t try never accomplish anything. Those who try sometimes fail - sometimes with frequency. But without those trials, how can we recalibrate, how can we test new things, how can we know and appreciate the value of our successes? Without failure there is no learning. Failures can be hard, and they can sometimes knock you out, but reframe that negativity and remember you were strong enough and brave enough to try and you can do it again.

In honor of the Golden Globes this past weekend, here’s a great takeaway from one of the many voices using their platform. We’ve talked about trauma here many times, but we also have our values. Our values drive our choices, actions, and what and who we surround ourselves with. Spend some time with yourself and identify your values. What are you acting on and what are you passing down to the next generation?

01/09/2026

As we juggle our daily obligations of self, family, and work while also having to deal with the ever-growing barrage of chaos the world keeps throwing at us, it’s important to breathe. Be mindful of what is within our locus of control and what is beyond us. Otherwise, it will all easily become too overwhelming. We cannot change what has happened, but we can control our next words and actions. We can control who we surround ourselves with and where we invest our time and energy. Change can come from the smallest of actions. Find your self care to ensure your cup is full then find your focus and continue to craft those 2026 intentions. Together we can create safe spaces, communities, and redirect our futures.
