Feeling emotionally exhausted? You're not alone. When the world feels heavy and your energy is running low, it’s okay to pause. Emotional exhaustion can sneak up when we’re constantly giving—to our work, our families, our communities—without enough space to just be.

🧘🏾‍♀️ Take a moment today to check in with yourself. Rest. Hydrate. Say no when you need to. Seek joy, not just productivity.

💛 At Inclusive Insight, we’re here to support you with compassionate, identity-affirming care. Whether you’re dealing with burnout, anxiety, or just feeling overwhelmed, our therapists are ready to walk alongside you.

📲 Reach out. You deserve care too.

“My therapeutic style is warm and relational, grounded in feminist and trauma-informed frameworks. Guided by values of social justice, I am committed to providing strengths-based, culturally affirming support to a diverse and intersectional clientele. I often help clients work through negative self-talk using cognitive reframing exercises, sometimes incorporating affirmations. Journaling is another tool I encourage for increasing self-awareness and thought diffusion. Together, we also create personalized "coping skill toolboxes" in session—practical resources clients can use outside of therapy for self-regulation and harm reduction.”

Erika Bielenstein, LCPC (IL), has immediate openings!

🎉 Congratulations to Dr. Jackie Anderson-Carter, Ph.D., LCSW, on her powerful and thought-provoking presentation at the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Conference, held June 15–19! 🧠✨

Dr. Anderson-Carter led an impactful session on Ethical Considerations for Marginalized Identities, challenging attendees to reflect deeply on how ethics, identity, and care intersect in clinical practice—especially when the provider shares lived experiences with the communities they serve. Her framing of ethical practice through a care-based lens brought forward essential insights about cultural context, practitioner self-awareness, and social justice in action.

We are proud to celebrate her contribution to shaping a more compassionate, equity-centered future in social work. 💜

Honoring the Unmatched Strength of Black Women

Over the past 30+ years working in social work, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside many incredible people. But time and time again, one truth has stood out loud and clear: nobody shows up, holds it down, and carries the weight of the world quite like Black women.

From the very beginning, Black women are met with challenges shaped by both racism and sexism—systems designed to hold them back. And yet, they rise. With a spirit that can’t be broken, a sharp sense for truth, and a determination that refuses to quit, Black women keep moving forward, pushing boundaries, building communities, and creating change. You can try to overlook a Black woman, but it would be a serious mistake.

On this Juneteenth, as we honor the legacy and liberation of Black Americans, let’s take a moment to lift up the Black women who have always been at the heart of the fight. Black women have carried generations on their backs while still finding ways to love, lead, organize, and heal. The story of this country—its progress, its promise—simply doesn’t happen without them.

So to all the Black women I’ve had the privilege to learn from: I see you, I thank you, I stand with you. Happy Juneteenth, and deepest love to every Black woman who’s ever had to be everything for everyone else. We celebrate you today.

My heart is heavy today. I’m horrified by today’s Supreme Court decision, which feels like a profound setback for the trans communities and for society as a whole. This ruling not only denies basic protections to trans folx—especially trans youth—but sends a chilling message that their rights are up for debate. It erases lived experiences, ignores the harm of discrimination, and forces trans people into unsafe spaces.

To every trans and nonbinary person: we see you, we believe you, and we stand with you. Your identity is valid. Your safety matters. And your right to live authentically should never be up for grabs. We must continue fighting together—for legal protections, dignity, and a world where trans joy isn’t just allowed—it’s celebrated.

This radiant line from Dean Atta’s The Black Flamingo (Atta, 401) is a celebration of quiet brilliance and bold authenticity. Atta’s words invite us to shine—unapologetically—especially in spaces that weren’t built to hold our light.

During Pride Month, this message sparkles with extra resonance. Pride means showing up in our fullness—sometimes loud, sometimes tender, always real. Whether you’re out and proud or quietly affirming who you are, your light matters. Keep showing up. Keep glittering. 🌈✨

This beautiful reminder from We Can Do Hard Things: Answers to Life’s 20 Questions by Glennon Doyle, Amanda Doyle, and Abby Wambach invites us to release unrealistic expectations and instead meet our lives—and the people in them—with presence and compassion. Their wisdom resonates deeply in moments of transition, healing, and truth-telling.�

As we honor Pride Month, this quote speaks to the liberating power of self-acceptance and chosen love. Pride is not just celebration—it is resistance, remembrance, and a radical act of claiming the love we have, exactly as we are. May we each find the courage to let go of imposed ideals and embrace the truth of who we are and whom we love. 🌈
