As summer winds down, how are you preparing your inner landscape for fall? 🍂

These prompts are designed to help you pause and reflect before the busy-ness of autumn takes over.

Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is intentionally carry forward what served us well, rather than letting the season's end sweep away all our good habits.

Which prompt speaks to you most right now?

The next generation of healers brings such beautiful perspective ✨

Our intern Kaitlin Rai just published a blog that perfectly captures what many of us are feeling right now. Her ability to weave together current mental health topics with genuine insight is exactly why I'm excited about this read!

Sometimes the most powerful healing comes from those who are actively walking the path of growth and knowledge.

Read her latest piece (link in bio) and share what stood out to you in the comments.

Your kids don't just hear your words—they study your actions.

They watch how you handle stress, express emotions, and navigate challenges. They're learning from the way you treat yourself, even when you think they're not paying attention.

If you'd truly do anything for your kids, would you be willing to face the parts of yourself you've been avoiding?

The most powerful gift you can give your family? Learning to be whole, present, and free within yourself. 💙

This week's blog dives into the key principles of confronting your past and overcoming personal challenges to create a healthier future for your children.

When your thoughts feel scattered and overwhelming, sometimes the simplest tool is the most powerful: putting pen to paper.

✍️ These 3 grounding journal prompts are designed to help you sort through mental clutter and reconnect with the present moment. No fancy journaling experience required—just you, a notebook, and a few minutes of honest reflection.

Start small: Even writing 1-2 sentences for each prompt can make a difference. The goal isn't perfect prose—it's clarity and connection with yourself.

Try one prompt tonight and notice how you feel afterward. Sometimes the act of writing itself is what helps our minds settle.

Save this post for those moments when your thoughts need a gentle reset.

Ever notice how we treat ourselves worse than we'd treat our worst enemy?

That inner critic isn't protecting you—it's keeping you stuck in shame cycles.
Self-compassion isn't just "being nice to yourself." It's scientifically-backed brain rewiring for resilience.

When you speak to yourself like a dear friend, you activate your caregiving system, releasing oxytocin and endorphins that counteract stress hormones and promote healing.

Tamara breaks down the three components to self-acceptance in her latest blog: acknowledge your suffering mindfully, remember you're not alone, and speak to yourself with genuine kindness.

You deserve the same compassion you freely give others. 💙

July energy hitting different this year? Same.

There's something about summer that makes us feel like we should be living our "best life" 24/7. The pressure to have the perfect beach body, the most Insta-worthy vacation, or to finally get our act together because "summer = fresh start," right?

But what if we gave ourselves permission to just... be human this July?

Today's journal prompt: "What would I do this summer if I wasn't worried about looking perfect or having it all figured out?"

Summer doesn't require you to be a different version of yourself. It just asks you to show up as you are—messy, uncertain, beautifully imperfect, and still worthy of joy.

Waiting for the "perfect Monday" to start your mental health journey?
That Monday is never going to come.

In our practice, I see so many people who delay getting support because they're waiting for the right moment, the right circumstances, or when life feels less overwhelming.

Here's what I've learned: there's no perfect time to begin healing. The best time is simply when you decide you're ready to prioritize your wellbeing. Your mental health doesn't need to wait for Monday. It doesn't need to wait for next month. It doesn't need to wait until everything else in your life is "sorted out."

Today—right now—is as perfect as it's going to get. What's one small step you could take today toward supporting your mental health?
Share below—I'd love to celebrate your courage with you. 💛
