This message is for everyone--for all of us. It is especially the caregivers, the deep feelers, the helpers, and the mothers.

You are carrying so much.

Try and release something today. Just one thing.

Maybe it means taking a brief (or long) hiatus from the news cycle, setting down your phone for a quiet walk, or allowing someone to support you while you take a moment (or morning/afternoon/evening) to care for yourself.

Take it easy for a moment. How does it feel to let something go that feels so heavy?

It is a new month. A great time to check in with a counselor and get started on some personal goals.

Which days will you prioritize for yourself this month?

Fall has always been my favorite season. To me, it signals the beginning of something exciting. Often it is new school year. A new class. A new season. A new way of looking at things.

Change is in the air-quite literally. This year especially. We have a major election coming up in only 4 days.

Today is the last day to early vote in Texas! You can easily early vote without long today at any of these locations in Austin:

I early voted last week. It felt so good to cast my ballot and share my voice. I did my research beforehand. It took about 5 minutes without any lines in the morning before 9 AM.

Check out the list of early voting locations here:https://votetravis.gov/wp-content/uploads/Travis-County-Early-Voting-Sites-Flyer.pdf

Most locations are open 7AM-7PM and some stay open until 10PM. Early voting ends Friday, Nov. 1st.

This is a beautiful and simple graphic that illustrates how we can help our children find calm.

Thank you .wiens for this amazing representation of co-regulation. We must be a safe harbor for our children; to anchor them during the storms.
Children aren’t born with the ability to self-regulate or self-soothe. The necessary precursor to self-regulation is co-regulation. This is where the parent essentially “lends” the child their calm nervous system response, and the child’s nervous system mirrors the parents.

Children often use behavior as a way to seek connection because they are still developing their communication skills and emotional regulation abilities. When a child behaves in a certain way, it's often a form of expressing their needs, emotions, or desires that they may not yet have the words to articulate.

Our job to ask: what need is my child trying to express in this moment?

Thank you for inspiring this infographic
