There’s no right or wrong way to support loved ones going through an unimaginable tragedy. But you might question how you can best show up for those people and bring them a little bit of light.

With the recent fires in Nebraska, community is so important right now and I wanted to share a few ways you can support those affected. 🤍

If your teen seems to hide out in their room after school, it might not be because they’re avoiding you. Their social battery is likely depleted and they may benefit from your support in a different way.

Remember, connection to teenagers rarely happens face to face. More often it happens side by side. 👫

Healing is rarely a straight line. 📈

There will be hard days even after good ones, and that doesn't mean you've failed or gone backwards. It means you're human.

Sometimes seasons just close. The farm that sold. The chapter that finished. The version of yourself you outgrew. Grief belongs in those moments — even when the change was the right one. 📔

If you’ve been feeling stressed, chances are you’re clenching your jaw or holding tension in your shoulders. You may not even realize you’re doing it.
