Today, honour all who have served—and those who still do. We recognize the quiet load that service can carry: the memories, the injuries we can’t always see, and the impact that reaches spouses, children, parents, and communities.

From our hearts at Aspen Grove Counselling, we honour your courage, your sacrifice, and the love that holds your families together. 🌺

Olive update time 🐾
It’s been a little while since we’ve shared an update, and our sweet therapy-dog-in-training has had a big week. Olive is currently recovering from her spay surgery and taking a short break from her training so she can rest and heal.

We’re incredibly grateful for the team at Sunset Ridge Veterinary Clinic and her favourite vet, Dr. Fielding. Their steady calm under pressure, incredible patience, and genuine care made the whole experience feel so much easier and safer for both Olive and me.

Olive will be back to her training soon, but for now it’s all about naps, soft blankets, snuggles and healing.

As October ends, I’m reflecting on what I’ve learned at the CADDRA ADHD Conference — especially in girls, women, and older adults. Every new insight moves us closer to a deeper understanding and greater support for all.

ADHD often looks different in girls and women — quieter, overlooked, and misunderstood. For many, this means years of feeling unseen, misunderstood, or dismissed before ever receiving a diagnosis or the support they need. The impact of missed or delayed treatment can ripple through every part of life — from self-esteem to relationships and wellbeing.

As we close ADHD Awareness Month, let’s continue to challenge the stigma and broaden our understanding of what ADHD really looks like. By recognizing these experiences and embracing neurodiversity, we create space for understanding, empowerment, and healing. 💙

I'm so excited to put the spotlight on the amazing Olive! For the past 3 weeks, Olive has been in my day training program, and to say she ROCKED it is an understatement.

We focused on foundational manners, especially conquering that tricky puppy jumping. This pup is as sharp as a tack and would often master a new skill in a single session! It has been an absolute joy partnering with her and her incredible owner.

Now, I'm saying a bittersweet goodbye as Olive sets off on her next incredible journey: Therapy Dog Training! 🐾 I have no doubt she is going to be a star and bring comfort to so many. Go get 'em, Olive!
