The amount of first hand and second hand trauma we are carrying right now is heavy. And it’s taking a toll on all of us.

What we are witnessing is not just morally wrong. It is emotionally harmful. Spiritually exhausting. Physically dysregulating.

Watching unprovoked violence by those hired to protect and serve breaks trust. It increases fear. It heightens anxiety. And it pushes our bodies straight into fight or flight. Even when we try to keep going like everything is normal.

If you’re a leader, I want you to pause for a moment.
How are you supporting your team right now?
And just as important, how are you supporting yourself?

Here are 3 ways to be intentional as we are all impacted.

▶️Check in with yourself first.
Name what you’re feeling. Anger. Grief. Fear. Exhaustion. If you’re anything like me, there are a lot of emotions happening at once. Pay attention to how they’re showing up in your focus, your patience, and your energy. Then create space to check in with your team. Not to fix. Just to see them. What we don’t name shows up anyway.

▶️Increase self care on purpose.
When we experience complex trauma, our nervous system goes into overdrive. That means we need more regulation, not less. Meditation. Yoga. Box breathing. Movement. Stillness. For leaders, this may also look like bringing wellness sessions to your workplace that include psychoeducation and grounding practices. Caring for people is not a perk. It’s leadership.

▶️Reduce news and social media intake.
Staying informed does not mean staying flooded. The more we consume graphic content, the more our bodies absorb the trauma. Protect your nervous system. Take breaks. Choose when and how you engage.

This is not the time to be silent about what is hurting us. But it is the time to be human first.

We are supporting organizations that are people first and courageous enough to acknowledge the emotional impact of this moment.

Believe me when I say it is affecting everyone differently, whether they speak it out loud or not.

My heart goes out to the lives lost and the families grieving. May we lead with compassion, wisdom, and the courage to care for one another.

Grief is showing up in a variety of ways for people this holiday. Make sure to give yourself grace if you are managing grief.

Supporting yourself through heavy emotional seasons is imperative.

Here are a few grounding practices I often share with clients and leaders navigating grief:

• Name what you’re feeling. Putting words to emotions reduces their intensity and helps your nervous system settle.

• Lower unrealistic expectations. This is not the season to operate at maximum capacity. Give yourself permission to do what is necessary, not everything.

• Create small moments of grounding. Big changes aren’t required. A five minute walk, a few deep breaths, prayer or meditation, or writing one page in a journal can help regulate emotions in real time.

• Allow support. Grief was never meant to be carried alone. Whether that’s a therapist, trusted friend, faith community, or support group. Letting someone hold space with you matters.

Traveling to be in warmer weather, where I can get my daily dose of Vitamin D is helping me during this time.

Mental health and wellness isn’t just a luxury—it is a leadership strategy.” 🧠👩🏽‍💼💡

When leaders prioritize mental health, they’re not just being compassionate—they’re being strategic.
At Smile Services Therapy, I help organizations shift from reactive to restorative by building cultures where mental wellness is embedded into how we lead, manage, and support teams. Because employees can’t innovate, collaborate, or thrive when they’re silently struggling.
Wellness at work isn’t extra—it’s essential. And the most effective leaders know that healthy people build healthy companies. 💼🧡

Freedom is also emotional liberation—especially in the workplace. 🧠🏢🕊️

Let’s be honest: too many employees are showing up to work every day mentally exhausted but emotionally masked.
🛑 Smiling through burnout
🛑 Shrinking in meetings to “keep the peace”
🛑 Carrying the weight of culture without support
🛑 Feeling like you can’t rest, feel, or just be
This is not sustainable. And it’s not freedom.
At Smile Services Therapy, I help corporate leaders and teams create emotionally safe, mentally healthy workplaces—where employees can show up as their whole selves.
Because mental wellness in the workplace is more than a wellness week or a motivational speaker. It’s about:
✅ Culturally competent care
✅ Trauma-informed leadership
✅ Real conversations that shift workplace culture
✅ Access to therapy and mental health tools that actually reflect the lived experiences of your team
I partner with companies who are ready to go deeper—because emotional liberation is professional liberation. 💼💚
You deserve to feel safe at work. You deserve to heal and lead at the same time. And your organization thrives when people are well.
Let’s build something better. Together. 🧡

Too many professionals are silently carrying emotional weight through the workday.
👉 That fatigue after 8 hours of work? It’s deeper than deadlines.
👉 Snapping in meetings or avoiding conversations? It’s not just stress.
👉 Staying “booked and busy”? That’s often avoidance in disguise.
In corporate spaces, unspoken emotional heaviness shows up—in performance, communication, and leadership. But here’s the truth:
💡 Healing doesn’t have to wait until after hours.
At Smile Therapy Services, we bring therapeutic wellness directly to the workplace—through culturally competent therapy, wellness workshops, and emotional intelligence coaching tailored for corporate teams. 🧠✨
We create safe spaces where professionals—especially Black and Brown employees—can feel seen, heard, and supported.
You don’t have to hold it all alone.
💬 Ready to shift your workplace culture? Let’s talk.
Because thriving teams start with emotionally healthy individuals. 🌿

🧠 Men’s Mental Health Matters
The su***de rate among American men is 4x higher than that of women — and yet, many still suffer in silence.

It’s time to break the stigma around men seeking help. Talking about mental health isn’t weakness — it’s strength. 💪🏽

✨ Let’s normalize therapy. Let’s check on our brothers, fathers, partners, and friends. Let’s create safe spaces for men to heal.

🗣 Share this post. Start the conversation. You could save a life.
