Before the new year rushes in, December can be a gentle invitation to pause and notice:

> What did this year teach me?
> What drained me more than I expected?
> What supported me more than I realized?
> Where did I grow, even in small ways?
> What am I carrying into next year that I no longer want?

Reflection isn’t about judging yourself — it’s about understanding yourself.

Humans don’t move in straight emotional lines.
It’s possible to feel:

> grateful and disappointed
> excited and nervous
> hopeful and overwhelmed
> connected and isolated
> proud and unsure

Your emotions don’t need to be sorted or justified, they just want space to be acknowledged.

As the year comes to a close, December often brings a mix of feelings that don’t always fit neatly into holiday cards or cheerful conversations.
For many people, this month is less about celebration and more about reflection — sometimes deep, uncomfortable, or unexpected reflection.

Maybe you’re looking back at the year and realizing things didn’t unfold the way you hoped.
Maybe you’re proud of some things but disappointed in others.
Maybe you’re grieving a loss, adjusting to changes, or simply feeling tired down to your bones.

December has a way of bringing all of that to the surface.

The Truth About “Year-End Emotions”
Even if you love the holiday season, this time of year can stir up:
> A sense of pressure to be okay
> Memories of someone you miss
> Loneliness (even when you’re surrounded by people)
> Anxiety about the year ahead
> Shame about goals you didn’t meet
> Relief and exhaustion at the same time

You are not doing anything wrong if this season feels complicated.
Life rarely fits the tidy narrative that December tries to put on us.

Strong women still get tired.
Capable women still need rest.
Loving women still deserve care.
And women who support everyone else deserve support as well.

If this season is beginning to feel heavy — emotionally, mentally, or relationally — therapy can be a space where you are seen, held, and supported too. A place to breathe, reconnect with yourself, and remember that you matter just as much as everyone you care for.

Your needs are not an inconvenience.
You are allowed to take up space.
You are allowed to rest.
You don’t have to carry the season alone.

If you're ready for a compassionate space to talk and be supported, I’m here.

his month, I want to gently invite you to stay connected to yourself too.

Not just your roles.
Not just your responsibilities.
You.

Here are a few grounding questions for the weeks ahead:

What do I need today, beyond what I need to do today?

Where can I simplify instead of striving to impress?

Which expectations are mine, and which ones am I carrying for others?

How can I give myself permission to rest without guilt?

Even five minutes of quiet intention can make a difference.
Sometimes the most powerful reset is simply pausing long enough to hear yourself think.

Women often take on the role of being the “glue” — the one who keeps everyone else steady, organized, calm, nurtured, and happy. And while it comes from a place of love and strength, it can also become exhausting.

Many women quietly think:

“I don’t want to disappoint anyone.”
“If I don’t do it, it won’t get done.”
“Everyone depends on me — I can’t fall apart.”
“I should be grateful. I shouldn’t feel overwhelmed.”

Gratitude and exhaustion can exist at the same time.
Loving your family and feeling stretched thin can both be true.
Feeling blessed and feeling tired are not contradictions — they are human.

The Quiet Load: The Pressure Women Carry as the Holidays Approach
November tends to bring a shift. The days get shorter, calendars fill more quickly, and whether we’re ready or not, the rhythm of the season starts to speed up.

For many women, this month isn’t just about cooler weather or Thanksgiving plans — it marks the start of an emotional and mental load that often goes unspoken. The lists get longer. Expectations rise. Invisible roles expand. And somewhere in the middle of it all, many women feel themselves fading into the background.

The Unseen Work Women Carry
Even in homes where responsibilities are shared, many women still carry the “quiet load”:

Remembering everyone’s schedules

Planning meals and gatherings

Coordinating family events and travel

Keeping emotional peace and connection steady

Caring for others before caring for themselves

Managing the emotional climate of the home

Carrying the pressure to “make the holidays special”

This is not laziness or lack of help from others. This is mental and emotional labor — the kind that rarely gets acknowledged, but shapes the flow of daily life in deep ways.

Mental and emotional wellness is essential for navigating both prevention and recovery. Practical strategies include:

Stress reduction techniques: Mindfulness, breathing exercises, or prayer.

Seeking support: Counseling, support groups, or trusted friends.

Maintaining balance: Prioritizing rest, nutrition, movement, and healthy boundaries.

Integrating faith and meaning: For many women, leaning on their spiritual life provides strength and comfort.

Awareness campaigns remind women about the importance of screenings and early detection. But even the thought of scheduling a mammogram can stir anxiety, fear, or memories of past medical experiences. For women who have walked through breast cancer themselves—or with a close friend or family member—October can resurface feelings of grief, uncertainty, or even survivor’s guilt.

Through women’s counseling in Kansas City, many of my clients find strength in exploring these feelings and building healthier coping strategies. In therapy, women often focus on:

Managing anxiety and fear related to health or medical procedures.

Addressing changes in identity and self-esteem that come with illness or recovery.

Strengthening relationships and communication with loved ones.

Developing resilience and hope to move forward with greater peace.

Supporting Women’s Emotional Health During Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is recognized as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness, encouraging prevention, and supporting women and families affected by breast cancer. While much of the focus is on medical care and early detection, it is equally important to recognize the emotional and mental health journey that women experience during this time.

At Diane K. Schmidt Counseling Services in Kansas City, I work with women who are navigating the stress, anxiety, and emotional impact that can accompany health challenges, life transitions, and daily responsibilities. Whether you are personally facing a diagnosis, supporting a loved one, or simply living with the awareness of risk, this season can bring complex emotions that deserve care and attention.

Reflections Worth Exploring This Month
> Reframe Self-Criticism — Instead of measuring your worth by external standards, anchor in your inherent value.

> Prioritize Emotional Well-being — Even small daily routines like mindful breathing or affirmations can restore your center.

> Set Compassionate Boundaries — Say no when you need rest. Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s necessary.

> Take One Kind Step — Whether scheduling a therapy session or practicing self-affirmation, every act counts.

October’s Promise
Let this September be a soft landing—a month where healing meets intention, and renewed confidence takes root. You're not meant to carry everything, but you deserve to be seen, supported, and affirmed.
