Did you know our minds and bodies are always in conversation?

Just as emotions shape our expressions, the way we hold our face can influence how we feel.

A softened gaze, an unclenched jaw, a small smile can be gentle cues that tell our nervous system, it’s safe.

Our faces don’t just show our emotions it also can help shape it.
Noticing and allowing small, compassionate shifts that remind your body it’s okay to feel calm, connected, and here, in the present.

“Cozy up this season with drinks that love your hormones back.

Here are my top hormone healthy drinks for the fall!

Golden Milk: Made with turmeric, warming spices, and milk (dairy or non-dairy). It’s soothing, anti-inflammatory, and helps regulate cortisol. This is perfect for the morning, afternoon, or winding down at night.

Chamomile Tea: Calming for the nervous system and supportive for better sleep. Bonus: it’s also wonderful for digestion.

Lemon + Ginger Water: Vitamin C for adrenal support, antioxidants for immunity, and warming ginger to aid digestion and ease bloating.

Bone Broth: Rich in minerals like calcium,
magnesium, and phosphorus. It’s grounding, immune-boosting, and deeply nourishing when the air gets colder.

Green Tea: Full of antioxidants, with gentle support for insulin regulation and steady focus. A nice alternative if coffee leaves you jittery. This is really the only stimulant I can tolerate during my work week.

Pumpkin Spice Latte: Use real pumpkin for fiber, antioxidants, and hormone-supportive nutrients. Can be boosted with protein or collagen for blood sugar balance.

Small shifts like these can go a long way
toward balancing your hormones, calming your nervous system, and helping your body feel at ease through seasonal transitions.

“I can’t do anything right!” is a common example of “irrational thinking” known as “should/must statements.”

When we hold ourselves (or others) to rigid, unrealistic standards—“I should be better at this,” “I must get everything right,”—we set ourselves up for shame, frustration, and burnout.

These thoughts can often sound like they’re trying to help us improve, but really, they come from inner pressure and past expectations we may not have chosen for ourselves.

A kind strategy to reframe could be reminding ourselves:

* It’s okay that I’m struggling. I’m allowed to make mistakes and grow at my own pace.
* Doing something imperfectly doesn’t mean I’ve failed.
* Growth isn’t about perfection. It’s about process with compassion; trying our best is what matters most.

In therapy, we can learn to notice these “shoulds” and “musts,” and gently replace them with more flexible, self-honoring ways of validating our present experience.

“You know those days when you just feel... off? Like, maybe you’re irritable, or you can’t seem to shake that low mood?

Well, a lot of that can come down to something happening in your brain-specifically, a little chemical called serotonin.

Serotonin is one of your brain’s key neurotransmitters-basically, it’s a chemical messenger that helps your brain cells communicate. And it’s got a huge job.

Serotonin is often called the ‘feel-good’ chemical. That’s because it plays a big role in regulating your mood, sleep, appetite, and even your digestion. But today, we’re going to focus on mood.

So, here’s the thing: when your serotonin levels are balanced, you tend to feel calm, focused, and emotionally stable. But when they’re out of whack?

That’s when things can get messy.
Did you know that low serotonin is often linked to conditions like depression and anxiety?

Your serotonin levels aren’t set in stone. They can be influenced by so many things-your diet, your sleep, your stress levels, even the amount of sunlight you’re getting.

For example, did you know that sunlight actually helps your brain produce serotonin? That’s why you might feel happier on a sunny day.”

“Omega-3s are essential fats your body can’t produce on its own-they help reduce inflammation, support brain function, and protect heart health. Just as important, fiber keeps your digestion running smoothly, stabilizes blood sugar, and fuels a healthy gut microbiome. When combined, these two nutrients work behind the scenes to keep your energy steady, your mind clear, and your body resilient.
Prioritize both daily for a strong foundation of vibrant, long-term health.”

Thank you for sharing !

As many of you know, we are currently without a home, and unfortunately, we no longer have the space to store additional items. At this time, we’ve reached our capacity for physical donations, and the women have expressed heartfelt gratitude for all they’ve received.

Moving forward, the greatest impact can be made through monetary donations, gift cards, or even the donation of a home or rental property that can help us rebuild. Gift cards to places like Best Buy, Walmart, Sephora, Shoppers Drug Mart, Uber Eats, Oxford property group gift cards and restaurants allow the women to thoughtfully replace what they lost and reclaim some control and dignity in the process. Donations toward uplifting experiences such as spa days or outings are also a beautiful way to help lift their spirits and support their healing journey.

We are deeply moved and humbled by the outpouring of generosity we've received. Thank you.
