🌿Summer Series for July: Growing Strong Together 🌿

This month in our Summer Series, we’re focusing on helping families build quiet strength through connection, emotional awareness, and simple summer moments together.

Our featured book is The Invisible String by Patrice Karst, a beautiful story that reminds kids (and adults) that we’re always connected to the ones we love, even when we’re apart. We chose this book because it gently supports conversations around separation, grief, anxiety, and belonging, helping children feel safe and emotionally secure.

Each piece is designed to support mental wellness at home in fun, easy ways. We hope it helps your family feel more connected and cared for this summer. 💛

Help us spread the word and share with your friends and family so they can join in on the support and resources too!

I went from 203 to 137 faster than I though was possible. And, I'll never forget the look on my doctor's face when I walked into his office for my annual checkup.

“Are you doing that “Purple Peel Exploit” I told you about?”, he stuttered.

So, I told him I've been doing it for the last few months and how it's really transforming my life and health.

"Nothing has EVER worked so fast for me!", I said with a BIG smile.

Even the nurses were complimenting me on my transformation and asking me how I had done it at my age.

It was the first time in almost 2 decades, I left my the doctor’s office feeling good about myself.

So, maybe this could help you too? Click the link below to see what the “Purple Peel Exploit” is all about.

Play with your kids. You don't have to be creative. You just have to listen.

One thing I didn't mention in this video is boundaries. Boundaries/structure are essential in all things. Your ability to maintain boundaries with the flexibility for your kiddos to be themselves unapologetically is a key part to creating emotional safety. They will learn they can be vulnerable, while your structure ensures they stay anchored - until they grow up and can anchor themselves.

FYI ,counselors aren't perfect parents. Literally just hollered at my kids for fighting... As. I. Type. This. 🙄
Also, I should've brushed my teeth before videoing but who likes toothpaste flavored coffee? 🤢
Carry on! 🤟🏼✌🏼️
