Weekend Check-In
Take a moment today to check in with your body - shoulders, jaw, breath. These quiet signals often tell us what our minds try to ignore. Listening inward is an act of care.

November 6 – International Stress Awareness Day

Stress is part of being human but when it lingers, it can quietly take a toll on our mood, focus, and health. The goal isn’t to eliminate stress entirely, but to care for yourself through it.

Here are a few small ways to help your system reset:

Step outside and notice your surroundings for a few minutes.
Slow your breathing, inhale for 4 counts, exhale for 6.
Stretch your neck and shoulders.
Take something off your to-do list (yes, really).

Even a few mindful minutes can make a real difference ;)

Transgender Awareness Month reminds us that mental health care is for everyone. Transgender and gender-diverse individuals often face higher levels of stress, anxiety, and depression, not because of who they are, but because of how they are treated. Respect, understanding, and affirming spaces make a powerful difference. ❤️ Please lead with love.

Time change

Welcome to November! In lieu of a post, we're sharing a great reminder: set your clocks back one hour before bed tonight! This is also a great time to check the batteries in your smoke alarms.

End of Month Reflection 🍁
As October closes, I like to take a quiet moment to check in: What brought me peace this month? What felt heavy?

Awareness is the first step toward change, and the simplest form of self-care.

Reader’s Digest had a wonderful article earlier this year called How Nature Heals Us, reminding us that time outdoors can reduce stress, calm the mind, and lift mood. As the leaves change here in Ohio, it’s a perfect season to reconnect with nature and notice how it supports emotional balance. 🍂 If you need a suggestion, try sipping a warm beverage outside in the fall air, noticing how the cup warms your hands.

Weekend Recharging
As the weekend begins, take a moment to ask yourself: what do I truly need right now? Maybe it’s quiet, connection, or a change of scenery. Listening inward helps you respond to your needs before burnout does.
