We’re honored to have been part of this powerful moment with Fightstory 🤍

This final event of the year was a meaningful reminder of why mental health conversations in combat sports matter so deeply. When fighters show up with honesty, courage, and care, real connection and real change happen.

Thank you to Fightstory Directors Mike Bayer and Jared Gordon for your leadership and commitment to this mission, and to Christos Giagos and Reinier de Ridder for bravely sharing your stories. Your openness helps pave the way for others to know they’re not alone.

We’re grateful to stand alongside The Caron Treatment Centers, UFC, and the entire Fightstory community in supporting mental health for athletes.

Proud to support this work, and excited for what’s ahead in 2026.
Let’s keep fighting, together. 💪🤍

🎄 The holidays can be joyful—but they can also be some of the hardest days of the year for those struggling with addiction or mental health challenges.

Expectations to “be merry” can create stress, trigger old habits, and make loneliness or grief feel heavier. Recovery doesn’t pause for the holidays, and neither does the need for support.

Tips for staying strong this season include:
▪️Stick to your routine as much as possible
▪️Prioritize self-care: sleep, nutrition, exercise
▪️Set healthy boundaries and reasonable expectations
▪️Reach out to supportive friends, family, or professionals if you need help

Remember, you don’t have to navigate this season alone. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. 💙

The holiday season can be full of joy… but also obligations, traditions, and expectations that sometimes leave us feeling stretched thin.

Carla Hansen offers a simple, helpful reminder: ask yourself “What’s my motivation?” before saying yes to something—or before feeling pressured to do it. Pair that with moderation, and you give yourself the space to make thoughtful choices rather than just checking boxes.

This holiday season, let’s give ourselves permission to pause, reflect, and choose what truly matters to us and to those we care about.

Wishing everyone a season of intention, balance, and meaningful connection.

With the holiday season upon us, gathering with loved ones can bring joy—and the occasional challenging conversation. Staying connected is essential for creating peace, strengthening relationships, and nurturing a supportive community. When we honor boundaries, seek common ground, and approach others with empathy, we make space for understanding to shine.

Here are a few ways to keep connections strong throughout the holidays, even when perspectives differ. 🎄❤️

This holiday season, we want to remind you of something deeply important in recovery: it’s okay to say no.

Many of us feel the urge to give all our time, energy, and love to the people in our lives. But recovery teaches us the power of boundaries - the ability to pause, check in with ourselves, and ask:

What do I need? Who am I in this moment? What do the holidays truly mean to me?

Sometimes the answer means saying no to certain gatherings, obligations, or expectations we’ve carried for years. And in that space, something beautiful can happen: we begin creating holiday traditions that support our healing, honor our growth, and reflect who we are becoming.

💛 Our hope for you this holiday season:
That you create a tradition that is uniquely yours, one that respects your boundaries, nurtures your recovery, and brings you genuine peace. And if that means saying no, know that it’s not only acceptable… it’s healthy.

You deserve a season that supports your wellbeing. Meadows is here with you on that journey. 🎄✨

At The Rio Retreat Center’s Survivors Workshop, one of the greatest gifts of this work is witnessing the profound shifts that can happen in just one week. Many participants arrive feeling activated by something current in their lives, often connected to old wounds or past experiences that still shape how they respond today.

Through guided healing work, participants begin to reconnect with those early childhood wounds in a safe and supportive environment. As they do, something powerful emerges: the ability to live more in action rather than reaction. They start responding to life from the present moment, not from old pain.

Watching these transformations unfold is truly a privilege. If you’re ready to explore your own healing in a compassionate, structured, and deeply supportive setting, our Survivors Workshop may be the next step on your journey. 💛
