Some Important Notes on Ferrapy:
* Ferrets are not always in the office
* You do not have to interact with or see ferrets if you don't want to (it is always optional)
* Ferrets are not trained as therapy animals, they are just cute and can give good cuddles sometimes

Join You Therapies YXE at Battle for Recovery #2. Our very own Carissa McNaught will be speaking alongside some other amazing folx.

Saskatoon’s Battle for Recovery #2 is more than just a gathering — it’s a bold stand for hope, healing, and human connection. This is where stories of survival turn into fuel for transformation, where lived experience becomes the loudest voice in the room, and where no one has to battle alone.

This event brings together powerful speakers, changemakers, and everyday warriors who have fought through addiction, trauma, mental health and recovery challenges — and are now living proof that recovery is possible. Through raw storytelling, healing conversations, and community support, we aim to break stigma and ignite change.

Whether you’re in recovery, seeking it, supporting someone, or simply passionate about mental wellness — this day is for you.
More speakers will be announced soon! Get tickets and vendor booths here 👇👇👇

💌Dear You,

Community isn’t just where we live or where we work, it’s also how we show up for each other.
It’s sharing meals at hidden neighbourhood hot spots, discovering new flavours, and celebrating the people behind them. Every smile, handshake, and shared conversation is a karmic deposit…energy exchanged that leaves a mark whether we realize it at the time or not.

Friendship, connection, and our shared vibe matter here at YOU.
Everywhere you go and everyone you meet, whether their role in your story is big or small…leaves an imprint. Together, those imprints become the heartbeat of our community. 💛✨



With care,
Alana & Carissa

P.S. The gluten free Psycho and the Tomato Salad is 🙌🙌
A must try!!!

While she’s away soaking up some well-deserved summer family fun ☀️🌈, I just want to take a moment to gush about this incredible human….my friend, my business partner, my supervisor, my confidant, and a woman I have so much respect for and look up to. 💛

A little about her radness:

She’s so artistic watching her create things lights my heart on fire. Whether it be sweet little gifts, social posts, fun marketing posters…. she is talented!!

She has the kind of singing voice I’d want to karaoke with… but let’s be reeeeaalll, I’d rather just lip sync beside her. I love her podcast voice! ——>Check us out on Podbean or Spotify
This has been a dream of hers for years and I love sitting beside her, team building and partnering on the episodes … but again - her voice is so soft, engaging and inviting.

She loves pickles, snacks, and is always so thoughtful about my gluten-free needs. We love our snacks around here!!

She’s one of the most unselfish people in the world, loves animals and people with her whole heart. I love that we have made it possible for our pets and others to be in the space. It’s always calm and relaxing because of how Alana started it all.

She shows up for the people she cares about in ways that are rare and beautiful and makes people feel truly seen. Not just anyone but EVERYONE!

She inspires me daily to dream bigger, love deeper, and laugh louder. Life, work, and everything in between are better with her in it…and I am and will be forever grateful we get to walk this path together.

Thank you Alana, for all you are and all you do. This world is extra special because of you!

💌Dear You,

A little reminder: Boundaries aren’t meant to be walls or used as weapons. They’re bridges to deeper self-respect and clearer connection. Let them breathe, bend, and be shaped by kindness…not fear. 💛 Feel into what’s true for you today. It’s okay if it shifts tomorrow.

With care,
Alana & Carissa
