Valentine’s Day looks a bit different when you’re on a 24-hour shift or finishing a heavy night in the ER. 🚒🏥

Forget the pressure of giant bouquets or fancy dinners you’re too tired to enjoy. In our world, love isn't a grand gesture once a year: it’s the “small things often.”

As an RN/Firefighter, Elizabeth knows that when you’re in the thick of it, a quick “checking in” text or coffee waiting for you at 0700 means everything. These are what the Gottmans call “bids for connection.” They are the tiny threads keeping your relationship strong when the job tries to pull you apart.

It’s not about one big day. It’s about noticing each other in the gaps between calls: the shared look, the "stay safe" text, and the grace you give each other on the hard days. We've all found ourselves in that cycle of exhaustion, but those small moments are where the healing starts.

If the stress of the job is making it hard to find those connections, we get it. We specialize in therapy specifically for first responders and healthcare workers.

We are currently accepting new clients for one-on-one therapy.

“Life isn’t about finding yourself. It’s about creating yourself.” : George Bernard Shaw

Does this resonate with you?

In the world of first responders and healthcare, we often get lost in the roles we play for others. We wait for a moment of clarity to "find" ourselves. But the truth is, joy comes from being a "force of nature" used for a purpose you recognize as mighty.

If you’re feeling stuck, start the process of self-creation today:
📍 Discover your values.
📍 Visualize the best version of yourself.

Those are your clues. They are the path to a life that feels authentic and purposeful.

Mindforge Therapy Group was founded by an RN/Firefighter (Registered Nurse + IFSAC II Firefighter) who knows exactly what it’s like to balance the "mighty purpose" of the job with the need to stay human.

We’re here to walk that path with you. We are currently accepting new clients.

TRUTH: Everyone has critics.
A friend. A parent. A sibling. The group chat.

And when you’re about to do something brave: apply for the job, set the boundary, start therapy, leave the relationship, take the promotion: their voices get loud.

Here’s the reframe I keep coming back to (and hear Brené Brown say it best in her 3-minute “Man in the Arena” talk):

If they’re not in the arena with you: risking, trying, showing up, getting it wrong sometimes: their opinion doesn’t get a vote.

Constructive feedback from people who’ve earned your trust? Helpful.
Drive-by criticism from the cheap seats? Hard pass.

If fear of judgment is keeping you stuck, we can help. Mindforge Therapy Group is accepting new clients. Self-schedule at www.mindforgetherapy.com.

Founded by an RN/Firefighter (Registered Nurse + IFSAC II Firefighter) who gets the pressure and the stakes.

Ever heard the nursing “magical phrases” like:
“You have to do it.”
“Only until we can get somebody else.”

That’s not leadership. That’s pressure dressed up as inevitability.

Reminder: every morning you put on YOUR clothes and you choose to go to work. So no… you don’t *have* to do anything outside your role, your scope, or your safety.

Try this boundary (and yes, you can stop after the period):
“No, I’m sorry, I’m not able to do that.”
No explanation needed.

Exception: unless you actually WANT the extra shift / extra money. Then get that $$$: on purpose, not under guilt.

And for everyone waiting for staffing to magically improve… the U.S. saw the RN workforce drop by over 100,000 from 2020–2021 (U.S. Chamber of Commerce, citing nursing workforce data). This isn’t a “temporary” squeeze.

Bullies need boundaries.

What “magical phrases” have you heard; and how did you combat them?

“You are under no obligation to be the same person today you were yesterday”.

For my clients who I have recommended Sweat to- here is a word from the founder. Lets go get it!!

Ever notice how your true priorities show up in what you *actually* do each day?

Maybe you say health is important, but end up grabbing dinner on the go more often than you’d like. Or you say family comes first, but miss the little moments. That gap between what matters and where our energy goes is an invitation for self-reflection and a gentle reset.

Choose your top 2-3 priorities for the week, then check your calendar. Are you giving them the time and attention they deserve, or just running on autopilot? If not, pick one small shift. Schedule that walk. Text a friend back. Say "no" to one thing and "yes" to what really matters.

Your priorities shape your life, one honest choice at a time. What’s your #1, and how will you show up for it this week?

TRUTH: Most people are too busy thinking about themselves to be judging you. That thing you’re worried everyone noticed? Odds are, they didn’t. And even if someone does notice, the loudest critics are usually just watching from the sidelines, not actually “in the arena” living and trying, like you are.

It’s so easy to let the fear of being watched or judged keep us small. But life isn’t meant for the bleachers. If you need some inspiration, check out Brene Brown’s “Man in the Arena” speech: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-s6DQrqVHxM&pp=ygUgYnJlbmUgYnJvd24gdGhlIG1hbiBpbiB0aGUgYXJlbmE%3D

Be gentle with yourself, step out anyway: your story matters.
