Spending time in nature is associated with lower cortisol levels and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Even brief exposure is beneficial. Sit outside. Take a walking meeting. Dig some dirt.

Nature is not just beautiful, it’s restorative!

Ok fellow clinicians- this is a big, complex, important book that has generated an enormous amount of self reflection, conversation and struggle, and I cannot recommend it enough! It is especially important in these challenging times to consider the impact of generational trauma, systemic racism and exploitation and the ways that our current mental health system prioritizes profits over healing.

It is not a quick nor an easy read, but it is a deeply affecting book that I have not stopped thinking and talking about since I opened it (as evidenced by the hundreds of tabs I added😬) Has anyone else read it? And if so, share your thoughts in the comments !

Longer daylight hours do more than brighten the sky—they support serotonin production and help regulate your circadian rhythm.

Try 20–30 minutes of natural light in the morning this week. A short walk, coffee outside, or even standing in the sunshine can improve mood, sleep, and focus.

Small exposure. Meaningful impact.

Seasonal transitions can serve as natural reset points. If winter felt heavy, that’s okay. Mental health shifts with life circumstances.
Spring offers an opportunity to reassess, realign, and move forward—at your own pace.
Growth doesn’t require perfection.

Sometimes spring arrives… and then it snows. These tulips bend under the unexpected weight of winter, looking fragile—but still very much alive.
Seasonal transitions can feel the same way. As daylight increases, many people experience improved mood. But for others, lingering fatigue, low motivation, or symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) may persist. That doesn’t mean you’re failing—it means your nervous system is still adjusting.
Science shows that light exposure, consistent sleep routines, gentle movement, and social connection can support mood regulation during this transition. Growth doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes it looks like simply staying rooted until the sun returns.
Winter is almost over. Be patient with yourself while your system catches up to the season. 🌤️
