Healing doesn’t always look loud.

Sometimes it’s getting out of bed when your mind tells you not to.

Sometimes it’s smudging, journaling through the noise, or simply taking a deep breath before the day begins.

Recovery isn’t just about big milestones — it’s about the quiet victories that no one else sees. The moments when you choose peace instead of chaos. When you show up, even if your hands are shaking. When you keep going, even when it hurts.

At Destiny Recovery & Wellness Centre, we celebrate those moments. Because every small win is proof that you’re still fighting, still healing, still moving forward. 💛

Today, we honour and remember the First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Veterans who served with courage, sacrifice, and pride — often without recognition, support, or basic rights when they returned home.

For generations, Indigenous warriors have protected these lands — long before Canada was a nation and throughout every major conflict since. Their bravery carried our stories, our languages, and our Nations forward.

✨ We remember:
• Indigenous soldiers who volunteered despite discrimination
• Those who never made it home
• Those who returned and continued serving as leaders, protectors, and knowledge-keepers
• Families and communities whose sacrifices often went unseen

Honouring them is not only remembrance — it’s reconciliation in action.

🪶 Miigwech | Marsii | Nakurmiik | Thank you
To all Indigenous Veterans — past, present, and future.
We carry your legacy. We remember you.

Many people living in abusive homes turn to substances just to survive the pain. Addiction often isn’t the cause — it’s the symptom of deep, hidden trauma.

💔 In Canada, over 117,000 people reported intimate partner violence last year, and survivors are up to three times more likely to struggle with addiction.

Behind every addiction is a story. Sometimes it’s about trying to forget, to cope, or just to make it through another day. Understanding this connection helps us replace judgment with compassion.

Understanding Anxiety

Anxiety is one of the most misunderstood mental health experiences. Many people think anxiety is just “worrying too much,” or that it’s something you can simply snap out of. But anxiety is actually a survival response. It is your body and nervous system trying to protect you.

When we experience anxiety, the brain believes we are in danger — even if the danger isn’t physical.
The nervous system goes into fight, flight, freeze, or fawn mode, and we may feel:
• Tight chest or trouble breathing
• Racing thoughts
• Irritability or restlessness
• Stomach discomfort
• Difficulty concentrating
• Feeling overwhelmed or panicked

This is not weakness.
This is your body trying to keep you safe.

However, when anxiety becomes constant or intense, the system stays on high alert. It’s like the alarm is ringing even when there is no fire. That’s when anxiety starts to impact daily life, relationships, sleep, work, and overall wellness.

Healing anxiety is not about forcing yourself to “calm down.”
It’s about teaching the mind and body that it is finally safe.

This can happen through:
• Breathwork and grounding
• Supportive counselling
• Nervous system regulation
• Trauma-informed care
• Spending time on the land
• Connection with culture, identity, and community

Healing anxiety is possible — not by pushing harder, but by learning to soften into trust and connection again.

Honouring the Life and Legacy of Jordan River Anderson

Today, we remember and honour Jordan River Anderson of Norway House Cree Nation, whose life inspired Jordan’s Principle — a commitment to ensure that First Nations children receive the care and supports they need, when they need them.

At Destiny Recovery & Wellness Centre, Jordan’s legacy lives on in the way we approach healing. His story reminds us why access to culturally safe, compassionate care must never be delayed by systems, funding, or jurisdiction. Every person — especially our children and youth — deserves timely, holistic support that recognizes their inherent worth and dignity.

Jordan’s Principle continues to guide how we serve our community. Through land-based healing, ceremony, and trauma-informed recovery, we strive to create a space where no one is left waiting for care — where wellness is treated as a right, not a privilege.

We honour Jordan’s spirit and all those who continue to advocate for fairness, accountability, and justice in health and wellness for First Nations peoples. His legacy is a reminder that love, compassion, and community are the foundation of true recovery.

Mental Health, Addiction and Winter in Manitoba

As the cold sets in and the days get darker, many people in recovery feel winter hit hard. Isolation creeps in when buses run late, the wind cuts deep and it takes extra effort just to step outside. Old thoughts get louder in the quiet.

But winter also teaches another kind of strength. Light still exists here in small moments — a hot drink, laughter around the table, a smudge by the window, drumming while snow falls, enjoying outside activities like snow shoeing, winter hiking, and trapping. Joy doesn’t disappear in winter, it just shows up softer.

If you’re struggling, you’re not weak, you’re human. Reach out, even if it’s just a message to say “I’m here.” Healing is still possible in the dark season. Especially in the dark season.

A few days ago, we were honoured to join a beautiful group of women in Riverton for a Full Moon Ceremony, and it was truly something special.

There was so much good sharing, releasing, and letting go of deep personal things as everyone offered their to***co ties to the river.

As the ties floated away, they seemed to glow in the moonlight. The trees swayed gently, their leaves falling into the water like they were joining in, as if the land itself was part of the ceremony. For a moment, it truly felt like the trees were tossing their own offerings across the river.

Then, as if Spirit wanted to bless the night even more, a pair of otters appeared, playing in the water. It was pure magic.

🪶 These moments remind us that healing is not only about us, it’s about our connection to one another, to the land, and to all living things.

🔴 October 4 – National Day of Action for MMIWG2S+ 🔴

Today we honour the lives of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people — and we commit to action. At Destiny Recovery & Wellness Centre, we know that recovery is not separate from justice. Healing happens when communities are safe, when voices are heard, and when Indigenous women and 2S+ people are protected and uplifted.

🪶 What this day means to us:
• It is a reminder that violence against Indigenous women and 2S+ people is rooted in colonization.
• It is a call to challenge the systems that allow this violence to continue.
• It is a commitment to centre Indigenous-led healing, wellness, and recovery in everything we do.

🌾 In our work, that means:
♦️ Creating trauma-informed and culturally grounded spaces for healing.
♦️ Listening to Elders, Knowledge Keepers, and survivors who guide the path forward.
♦️ Supporting the Calls to Justice as a responsibility, not an option.

💜 If you need support today:
• Hope for Wellness Help Line — 1-855-242-3310 or https://www.hopeforwellness.ca
• MMIWG2S+ Crisis Line — 1-844-413-6649 (24/7)

You are not alone. Healing and justice walk together.

Our ladies had the chance to experience the Narcisse Snake Dens this weekend. At first, the thought of being around thousands of snakes was a little uneasy, but walking the trails and seeing them up close turned out to be a meaningful experience.

For many, it was about facing something unfamiliar and realizing it wasn’t as intimidating as it seemed. The snakes were harmless, and the day became one of learning, fresh air, and connection with nature.

It was a good reminder that sometimes stepping out of our comfort zones opens the door to new confidence and calm. 🌱
