I appreciated the opportunity to be a panelist for START - Springfield Transgender and Ally Resource Team for the Bridges to Allyship event. We ALL have so much to learn about being a good ally. We ALL have so much to learn about our internal biases.

I will leave you with the same parting words I gave on the panel:

1. Safe spaces are not hoped for, they are created with intention.
2. Silence protects the aggressor- always.

What a great event! We will be there. Will you?

We are so excited for our panel tomorrow! Come join us. Bring your friends and family who want to learn how to be a better ally!

Food insecurity is surging across the United States, and Missouri is being hit especially hard.

More than 44 million people nationwide struggle with food scarcity, including 13 million children. Missouri sits above the national average, with nearly 1 in 7 Missourians experiencing food insecurity. Many rural counties face even higher rates.

With the current government shutdown, thousands of families are now dealing with reduced or delayed SNAP benefits. For many Missouri households already stretched thin, these benefits were the difference between stability and crisis. Losing them means skipped meals, long waits at food pantries, and parents quietly going without so their kids can eat.

This is not abstract. This is our neighbors.

At The Living Room, we believe safety is foundational to healing. No one can focus on wellness when they are worried about feeding their family.

We are partnering with OACAC to support local families during this shutdown.
We are collecting donations AND GIVING FOOD at two of our locations to help restock food pantries and provide direct support to families affected by the loss of SNAP access.

If you are able, please drop off shelf-stable foods, hygiene items, or financial contributions. If you need food, please stop by our porches or call to see whst we hsve in stock. Every single donation matters.

Community care is not optional. It is how we carry one another through moments like this.

More details coming soon. ❤️

Locations receiving and giving donations (soon):
1050 E. Walnut St., Springfield
614 S. Pickwick Ave., Springfield

At The Living Room, we believe therapy should be as natural a part of life as having a primary care doctor. Just like you’d see your P*P for a check-up, we want everyone to feel comfortable including a therapist in their wellness team.

We’re all about de-stigmatizing mental health. You don’t need a diagnosis or a “big” life crisis to come chat with us. Therapy can be as routine and supportive as going to a yoga class or getting a flu shot. It’s simply part of taking care of yourself in a holistic way.

Plus, we’re here for those who live with chronic illness and need that extra layer of support. Whether you’re looking for a little more balance or a space to process, we’re here to help you thrive.
