It’s normal to feel a little heavier this time of year. The light affects our minds and hearts more than we often realize.

This season, try to give yourself permission to slow down, rest, and reach for the things that bring warmth — connection, light, and grace. 💙

✨Our new blog, “When the Light Changes,” shares gentle ways to navigate seasonal shifts and care for your mental health as the days grow darker

• Do something kind for yourself—self-love matters too.
Love doesn’t need to be perfect. It just needs to be present.
