I've called this number, and it's wonderful.

The Hotline has a new message! A moment of care. Stop for 3 minutes to listen and daydream. Reading a poem by my favorite poet Gwendolyn Brooks.

I had the opportunity to do a Canvas Rebel interview recently, and in it I spoke to the aspiring therapist entrepreneurs and the mama-therapist entrepreneurs. Keep putting one foot in front of the other! Urgency isn't the name of the game ...imho

"There’s nothing wrong with being an employee or an independent contractor as a therapist! But if you know you’re ready for a change, start talking to people and do your research. For the mama-preneurs in the therapy world, just know that it’s okay to establish a private practice by beginning with a small caseload until you’re ready to increase your practice responsibilities."

We were lucky to catch up with Violeta recently and have shared our conversation below. Alright, Violeta thanks for taking the time to share

One of the most underrated forms of self-care is giving ourselves something to look forward to!

I thought it could be a cool idea to make a self-care list for who want to look forward to the coming Spring in our own backyards and beyond.

This can be helpful for anyone, but especially those of us who can sometimes feel like we can't see the end of the tunnel. Granted, we may want to see a specific thing at the end of our tunnel. Maybe we have control over that, maybe we don't. But I'm a big fan of helping folx explore what's within their wheel of control, and going after that/ fostering a relationship with that. If you need support in this area, I'm also accepting new clients!

Personally, I'm really looking forward to visiting the new Detroit Riverfront Conservancy Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Centennial Park and being able to run around outside with my little one!

Check out my (non-exhaustive) list below! *And* ... What would YOU add??

In hard times, it matters to know who we can lean on. Whether that is family we’re born into, family we choose, or both— it is important to be able to identify who is there for support.

Tomorrow we have our first Heart Space of the year! Sign up to join BEAM for “Building a Family Care Map for Hard Times,” a virtual healing circle focused on naming our support systems, strengthening care within community, and preparing for moments when we need each other most.

Feb. 11
3–4:30 PM PT | 6–7:30 PM ET

Free and Donation based tickets available!

Come reflect, share, and build a care map that honors the people who show up for you—and the ways you show up for them.
