We often set goals with the best intentions — to feel healthier, more balanced, more present. But when they’re not grounded in our values, it’s easy to lose momentum and feel discouraged.

In our latest Wildflower webzine piece, therapist Natalie Hall, MSW, LSW (she/her), explores how values-based goal setting can transform change from something we chase into something we live.

✨ Instead of focusing on who you “should” be, what if you focused on who you already are — and what matters most to you?

Perimenopause is more than hot flashes and skipped periods — it’s a complex, powerful (and often misunderstood) chapter in many people's lives.
⁠
In our latest article, Wildflower's Executive Director Kate Ernstrom, LCSW, PMH-C, CST, breaks down the myths that keep us confused, unsupported, and under-informed.⁠
⁠
✨ Think perimenopause only happens in your 50s?⁠
✨ That it’s a short phase?⁠
✨ That mood swings or changes in sexual health have nothing to do with hormones?⁠
⁠
Let’s rethink that. And let’s make space for curiosity, compassion, and real conversations about this stage of life. ⁠

“You’re SO sensitive.”
If you’ve heard that before — or felt overwhelmed in loud rooms, drained by social plans, or deeply moved by beauty or emotion — you might be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). And that’s not a flaw. It’s a trait.

In our latest article, Amanda Matousek, LCSW, PMH-C, explores what it means to be an HSP, how to care for yourself in a world that often feels too much, and why your sensitivity might actually be your superpower. 🌿

✨ Plus: practical tips for managing overstimulation, building a life that honors your sensitivity, and helping your support system understand your needs.
