🌿 Grounding and Growing

Not everyone is entitled to your emotional labor.

You’re allowed to protect your energy without over-explaining.
You’re allowed to change your mind.
You’re allowed to rest without earning it.

Boundaries aren’t a rejection of others —
They’re a commitment to your well-being.

And that commitment matters. 🌱

🌿 Interactive Wednesday
No fixing needed — just awareness.

On a scale from 😌 to 😵‍💫 — how’s your stress level this week?

Self-compassion invites gentleness rather than judgment.
This kind of care can support resilience and emotional balance.

Emotions don’t need fixing to be valid.

Regular emotional check-ins help:
• Reduce overwhelm
• Increase self-awareness
• Prevent burnout

Try this today:
“What am I feeling?”
“What do I need right now?”

That’s emotional care in real time.

🌟 Glimmer Friday

You don’t need to have everything figured out to be moving forward.
Curiosity is enough.

Notice one question you’re gently exploring instead of answering. 🌿

🌿 Grounded and Growing

Comparison is loud this time of year.
Everyone seems to be “thriving,” “resetting,” or “leveling up.”

But what you don’t see:
The pauses.
The doubts.
The private healing.

Your timeline doesn’t need to match anyone else’s to be valid.
Growth looks different when it’s real.

Stay in your lane — it’s where your nervous system feels safest. 🤍

Boundaries are an act of self-respect.
They help protect our energy and support healthier relationships.

🧠 Mind Care Monday
Feeling low in winter doesn’t automatically mean depression but it does deserve attention.

Common winter mood shifts:
• Lower energy
• More sleep
• Less motivation
• Increased isolation

If these changes begin to affect daily functioning, it may be time to seek support. Mental health care is preventative not a last resort.

🌟 Glimmer Friday

A glimmer can be as simple as being understood or understanding yourself a little better.
Clarity counts, even when it’s quiet.

What’s something you’re seeing more clearly right now? ✨

My heart is heavy for our mental health community.

A clinician in Florida was tragically murdered while doing her work—work rooted in safety, care, and healing. Even more heartbreaking, her client tried to save her and is now in critical condition.

Therapy spaces are meant to be places of refuge. What happened is a profound loss and a painful reminder of the risks clinicians sometimes carry quietly.

I want to honor this clinician’s life, her dedication to helping others, and the extraordinary courage of her client. May we hold them both in our thoughts, and may we continue to show up for this work with compassion, boundaries, and care for one another.

Warning the article is graphic..

The family of a mental-health counselor who was stabbed to death in Orange County is questioning whether there was proper security in the building where the stabbing took place.

🌿 Grounded and Growing

Winter has a way of turning everything inward — thoughts, emotions, energy.

If you feel slower, heavier, or more reflective right now, you’re not broken.
You’re responding to a season that invites rest and introspection.

Not every phase of life is about blooming.
Some seasons are about rooting deeper.

Honor where you are. 🌿
