Today is “Look Up at the Sky” Day (or April 14, depending on who you ask).

But really—every day is a good day to pause and look up at the sky. In my recent posts I’ve been talking about stress and the idea that we all have a stress capacity—a limit to how much pressure our systems can comfortably carry. Small pauses can help us recover from that pressure.

Taking a moment to shift your gaze upward and step out of the rush of the day can help regulate your nervous system and reduce stress. Try it a few times throughout your day, or end the evening with a bit of stargazing. Notice what happens when you give yourself this small pause. Even a tiny shift in attention can help lighten the load we’re carrying.

No structure can hold unlimited weight.

When something breaks,
it means the load was too much for too long.

Burnout and exhaustion aren’t failures.
They’re signals.

04/07/2026

Your capacity isn’t fixed.

Sometimes things feel heavier
not because they changed-
but because you’ve been carrying a lot for a long time.

Stress isn’t just about the load.
It’s about how much capacity you have to hold it.

04/02/2026

Stress isn’t the problem.
It’s a response.

A signal that something is asking for your energy and attention.

In small amounts, it can help.
Without recovery, it starts to take a toll.

Understanding stress is the first step.

April is Stress Awareness Month. Stress is something we all experience—but many of us were never taught how to manage it.

Throughout April, I’ll be sharing simple, practical strategies to help you:
• understand stress
• recognize signs of overwhelm
• calm your nervous system
• build healthier coping habits

You can’t eliminate stress completely—but you can learn tools to navigate it. Follow along this month for tips and strategies to support your mental wellbeing.

Today I invite you to step outside and 'take a walk in the park'. As you stroll, pause for a moment and notice something that makes you smile. Listen to the birds singing. Feel the sun warming your face. Watch the trees sway gently in the breeze. Or maybe simply appreciate the gift of peace and quiet. Sometimes the smallest moments in nature bring the greatest sense of joy.

One of the keys to happiness is doing things that truly make your heart happy. Whether it’s spending time with friends, taking a dance or art class, exploring photography, or going for a bike ride, these moments bring joy and meaning to everyday life. Making space for these activities in your routine can boost your happiness and enhance your overall well-being.

Scientific fact: Puppies = Instant Happiness 🐶💛

In honour of International Day of Happiness puppies remind us that the secret to joy might be found in the simple things; food, play, and naps! Here's to the puppies (young and old) that bring happiness to our lives.

Today is International Day of Happiness. Happiness isn’t about feeling joyful all day, every day. It’s about noticing the small moments that brighten your day. As Bob Ross said, “Beauty is everywhere. You only have to look to see it.”

There’s always something good around us — we just have to pause and look for it. What’s one small thing that brought you joy today? Share it in the comments 💛

03/18/2026

Friday is International Day of Happiness, but don't try to force happiness. Embrace all your emotions.

Acceptance is a powerful way to clear the mental clutter. I often share with clients that acceptance doesn’t mean we’re okay with what happened. It means letting go of the “woulda, shoulda, coulda” thoughts that keep us stuck.

Like the quote says, we can’t stop the waves—but we can learn to ride them. We can allow our thoughts to come and go without getting pulled under by them.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your thoughts and ready to learn how to surf your waves, I’d love to support you. Book an appointment today and let’s start the work together.

"Friends. Sisters. Mothers. Professors. When women affirm women, it unlocks our power. It gives us permission to shine brighter." -Elaine Welteroth

When we surround ourselves with women who lift us up, who motivate us to achieve our goals, and who celebrate our accomplishments it can be a game changer! Here's to the women in my life who love, support, and encourage me to keep going! Happy International Women's Day!
