That quiet thought sneaks in when things finally feel calm. What if I’m not actually okay? What if I go back to where I was before? Here’s the truth you need to hear. You can’t go back. You’ve changed. You’ve grown. Even when life knocks you sideways, you won’t navigate it the same way again. Give yourself credit for the work you’ve already done.

How you ask a question can either build connection or shut someone down.

On today’s episode of Empower Hour, Dr. Jill Chonody shares how she uses AI to help students practice asking better questions in a safe, low-risk way before working with real clients.

It’s practical, thoughtful, and such a smart way to build real communication skills that actually stick.

🎙️Today’s Empower Hour episode is live now!

Our founder and Chief Optimist, Simon Sinek, writes in himself to reveal one simple way even well-intentioned leaders can unwittingly damage morale.

The pressure to make this season look perfect can quietly steal the joy from it. You don’t have to keep up. You don’t have to rush. And you don’t have to experience this season the same way everyone else does. Slowing down is not failure. It’s wisdom.

Even though we still have a couple weeks to go, I’m already reflecting on the past year and what’s ahead. There’s a lot from 2025 I’m grateful for. And there are some things I’m leaving right where they belong. Growth sometimes looks like letting go. Peace sometimes looks like boundaries. And moving forward means we don’t carry everything with us. Here’s to stepping into the new year lighter, clearer, and more intentional.

Are you always waiting for the shoe to drop? Things are going well, but your mind won’t let you enjoy it because you’re bracing for impact.

Here’s the truth most people don’t want to admit: something will happen eventually. Life isn’t predictable. But living in constant anticipation of disaster only steals the peace you have right now.

The goal isn’t controlling what happens. It’s learning how to respond when it does.

This is such a powerful mindset shift for anyone dealing with anxiety, fear, or always expecting the worst.

This moment from our Empower Hour podcast needed to be shared. Susan Boswell, one of our very own therapists at Empower Counseling, reminds us that feeling anger doesn’t mean you’re failing or regressing. It means you’re allowing yourself to process what hurt, and that is part of real healing.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for feeling angry, this conversation will feel validating and grounding. The newest Empower Hour episode is officially live, and it’s one you don’t want to miss.

🎧 Listen now on Empower Hour.

We all have the version of us that shows up for the world…and the version that only feels safe with a few people. Both are real. Both make sense.

Your body isn’t the enemy. When life feels heavy, your brain is wired to spot danger first. Gratitude becomes a battle because your instincts are screaming to protect yourself. The fears may look different today, but your biology hasn’t changed. When you understand that, you stop blaming yourself and start giving yourself grace.

Gratitude isn’t about pretending everything is fine. It’s about noticing what helps you survive the hard moments and letting that count. April explains how grounding first can make gratitude accessible again, even when life feels overwhelming. If you’ve ever felt guilty for not feeling thankful in the middle of pain, this is for you.
Listen to the full conversation on the Empower Hour podcast *this coming Monday* on Apple, Amazon Music, and Spotify.

Why do the holidays make grief feel lonelier?

From a young age, we were conditioned to grieve alone. When something hurt, we were told we needed space. To go to our rooms. To handle it privately.

But our instinct in pain is connection. Isolation is learned. Grief was never meant to be carried alone. Healing can begin when we reach out, not retreat.
