How we view ourselves, our identity,
is based on an amalgam of experiences, values, abilities, and expectations. When a meaningful part of your life is lost, self-perceptions and your place in the world may change.

It’s irrelevant if the loss was a life-long partner, the daily jog for someone who has run for 40 years now shuffling because of deteriorating joints, or loss of a dog.

Significant losses produce in a person’s identity. For example when someone loses their dog they may lose their jogging partner or there may no longer be little paws tapping on their floor. That loss is felt daily and it has become part of their life and their norm . That familiarity gives people a sense of peace and comfort and then that is gone it leaves an individual aching for that feeling.

Hi, Arianne here 👋.

If you’re parenting or caring for a child around 10–12, you’ve probably noticed the big emotions that can come in waves up one moment, down the next. It can feel overwhelming, but it’s also a completely normal part of development.

This is often when kids begin navigating the first signs of emotional changes, which makes it such an important time to help them start building those foundational skills of emotional regulation.

Productivity is not just about output; it’s about relationship.

The way you engage with your employees, how you listen, support, and recognize them, directly shapes how they show up. If people don’t feel cared for, their capacity to be fully engaged diminishes.

Take care of your employees, and their productivity will take care of itself.

Meet Ariane ✨ she works with people navigating ADHD, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and grief. Many of the people she sees are figuring out how to feel more grounded, more confident, and more themselves in the midst of change, uncertainty, or loss.

She has experience supporting BIPOC clients and brings a trauma-informed lens to everything she does because what’s happened to you matters, and so does the story you tell yourself about it.

As we get older, the conversation we have with our bodies and minds changes. Health moves from the background to the foreground.

For many of us, caring for ourselves has meant caring for others first and somewhere along the way, we forgot that we are part of the equation.

Tending to your own needs is not a betrayal of your relationships; it’s what makes them possible. When you nourish yourself, you bring more presence, vitality, and desire into every connection.

Ask yourself: What would it look like to treat your well-being as the foundation of your relationships, rather than the afterthought?

Motherhood is not a straight line.
It’s a symphony of joy, guilt, love, rage, tenderness, and exhaustion.

Is it fair? No.
Is it human? Entirely.

The work is not to be perfect.
The work is to hold ourselves with the same compassion we offer our children.

There are times in our life that feel crushing and sometimes we feel like giving up. However, someday you will look back at this hellish time and you will know it is over and you made it through. Sometimes you may even think it was not as bad as you thought it was at the time. Also, even in the worst time there are simple things you can enjoy like a hot bath or a long walk. At the end of it all, nothing lasts forever - including your devastation, grief, fear, shame, and guilt.

Your kids don’t learn resilience because you never fall apart. They learn it because they see how you care for yourself when you do.

The way you talk to yourself becomes the voice they carry. Be kind, you’re teaching them how to be human.
