November 25 - International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women 🧡
Today is a reminder that safety, dignity, and respect are basic human rights, and that ending violence against women is everyone’s responsibility.
It’s a day to listen, to learn, and to stand in solidarity with survivors. Real change begins with awareness, empathy, and everyday actions that create a culture of respect.
Together, we can build communities where every woman and girl feels safe, supported, and valued.

We’re officially halfway through November and this calls for a check in!
How are you feeling today? 🌿
Sometimes, life moves fast and we forget to pause. Take a moment to notice:
• How’s your mind?
• How’s your body?
• What’s one small thing you can do for yourself today?
Self-care isn’t about perfection, it’s about gentle, steady steps.
Even a 5-minute pause, a deep breath, or a kind word to yourself counts. 💗
What is one thing you’re doing for yourself this week?

Happy World Kindness Day!
Science tells us that kindness boosts our serotonin, lowers stress, and strengthens connection. It’s one of the simplest ways to lift your mood and someone else’s too.
On World Kindness Day, take a mindful pause and ask:
🌿 How can I show kindness to myself today?
🌼 How can I extend it to others?
Follow this up with action!
🌸 Compliment someone
🌸 Send a simple ‘thinking of you message’
🌸 Or simply give yourself a moment of rest.

How's your Mo growing?
Grow a mo, save a bro! This Movember, it’s more than growing a moustache - it’s about breaking the silence around men’s mental health.
Let’s remember that it’s okay for men to talk, to share how they’re really feeling, and to ask for help. Mental health matters, and no one should face their struggles alone.
Check in with the men in your life today. A conversation can make a world of difference.
