A reminder this Friday no matter what season of life you're currently in.

Going through infertility can be a lonely, painful, and emotionally taxing journey for all of those involved. It is a daily struggle that others don't quite understand. Often times, people feel shame and hide that they are dealing with infertility. Both men and women can experience infertility with one third of cases being due to women, one third of cases being due to men , and one third of cases being due to both partners.
If you are suffering from infertility, don't hesitate to seek out supports which may include therapy, medication, support groups like those available on resolve.com, and friends and family members that you can truly lean on.
If you are someone who has not experienced infertility, be aware that by virtue of statistics, someone you know is dealing with this. Look into ways to be supportive to those that you know are struggling. Never make assumptions about the fertility of others. You never know what they are going through and how you can be causing pain.

A reminder as we enter a new week that YOU MATTER! Never forget that.

When struggling with mental illness, and many other things in life, you may find yourself facing the same obstacle more than once. The symptoms that you had gotten under control begin to rear their head again. It can be scary and frustrating. You might feel like a failure. Or that you'll never get through it.
Remember that each battle life throws at you equips you with more skills and armor that can help you in the future. Remind yourself that you've gotten through this before and reflect on the things that helped in the past. Lean on the people and resources that you have at your disposal. Reach out for help if you need to. Use all that you have to fight this battle. You will come out on top again.

There's nothing that's impossible. Keep pushing!

Life isn't always so kind. Many of us suffer through trauma, loss, illness, and a number of other unpleasant and devastating experiences. While our experiences always influence us in someway, they do not have to define us. You are so much more than what has happened to you. And if choosing to become more than your past means you need a little help through therapy, support groups, or medication, that's okay!

A gentle reminder this Monday on a day that may be one of the more difficult days of the week for some of us.

It's the beginning of not only a new month but also the second quarter of the year. Time moves so fast! It may seem like it was only yesterday when you were starting the new year with new goals and aspirations for the year. Yet,maybe you feel that things still haven't changed.
What's holding you back? Maybe it's time to let go of those weights so that you can move forward.

How many times have you talked yourself out of an event, opportunity, relationship, or idea that you know could be good for you? It might be that this thing could take a lot of time and effort. Or that you feel an overwhelming sense of anxiety and dread at the idea of pursuing it. Somehow we convince ourselves that it's not the right time, it'll take too much work, that we aren't the right person for it, etc. But in doing this, we miss out on things that could benefit ourselves and others around us.

What have you been pushing off due to anxiety and fear? What easier path have you chosen that may leave you less fulfilled?

We are half way through the week which means there's still a lot of time left for you to take that hard first step. That could be jotting down your ideas, making a phone call, making an appointment, practicing public speaking with , or tackling your anxiety by seeing a or . Whatever it is, just do it.

So often, we doubt ourselves and our abilities. We say things to ourselves that we wouldn't dare say to other people. We are our own worst critics! Let us practice showing ourselves some kindness. Today, whether you are going to work, taking care of children, going to school, or working on a personal goal, let the words on this picture serve as a reminder of who you are.

Postpartum depression affects millions of women around the world each year.

This week, for the first time in history, the FDA approved a medication, Brexanolone, for the treatment of Postpartum Depression. The medication, which is expected to provide relief of symptoms within 48 hours after being administered in a medically supervised setting unlike current treatments that take weeks, stands to pave the way for other treatments for this debilitating and, at times life threatening condition. This stands to help many women and their families.

For many, Monday is a day of dread. Work and school await. We remember the goals that we set during the previous week that we didn't accomplish. And we have to wait "all week" before another break. But what if we change our perspective? Every Monday (and everyday) is a built in clean slate that represents another week of endless possibilities! What are you looking forward to this week?
