We are over the 🌙 to continue offering the power of breathwork as part of our Odessa program, and now we've expanded our class options!

Erica Hull will continue to offer her signature class, and Casey Frazee Katz will now also be facilitating classes. đź‘Ź

With more classes, there are more opportunities to step out of the noise and into a different kind of experience. One that isn’t about pushing or performing in any way, but about softening, noticing, and letting your system settle.

The type of breathwork offered here has been shown in neuroimaging research to produce feelings of connection, euphoria, and insight.

Each session is a little different, shaped by the facilitator and the group, but you can expect a thoughtful, supported space to breathe, shed, and reconnect.

A gentle reminder about a program that's dear to our hearts. đź’›

Through our partnership with The Christ Hospital, we’re able to offer no-cost mental health evaluations for individuals anywhere on their reproductive journey—whether you’re trying to conceive, pregnant, navigating loss, or in the postpartum period.

These seasons can be meaningful, complicated, and disorienting. And yet, so many people move through them without enough support.

This offering is a space to:
• pause and take stock of how you’re actually doing
• name what feels hard (even if you’re not sure it “counts”)
• get thoughtful, individualized recommendations for support

The evaluation is a virtual, one-on-one session with a Galia therapist, designed to help you better understand your mental health and what next steps might look like.

This program exists because we believe mental health support should be easier to access—especially during times that shape not just you, but your family and your future.

If you or someone you love could benefit, you can learn more or schedule here:

And as always, if you’re not sure whether this is “for you,” that’s often a good enough reason to reach out.

Galia therapist and parent coach, Michelle Piven, shares a 15-minute weekly ritual that she uses to raise empathic and justice-minded sons.

"Because if we want a more just, compassionate, and thoughtful world... it requires men who are willing to notice, to care, and to act, even if they are not the ones most directly impacted."

A thing about me: I am a total sucker for a food joke or pun. I have to stop myself each week from making every meme a food meme. Instead I sprinkle them in (like parmesan.) You're welcome? Or I'm sorry?

Researchers collected data from women aged 40-65 to understand the effect of attending EDM events.

The music itself is amazingly well-suited for emotional processing and mental health:

🎧 The average tempo of 129-140 beats per minute aligns with beta brain waves, which are associated with active thinking and focus.
🎧 The tempos activate our sympathetic nervous system, which boosts energy.
🎧 EDM is built on uplifting progressions that create musical tension and promote serotonin and oxytocin, followed by release (through “drops”), which plays on the brain’s dopamine signaling system. The result is that we get floods of feel-good chemicals.

But beyond the specific music, the experience of being at a music event can convey significant benefits as well:

🪩 Women described feeling more able to be themselves, without the constraints of other roles.
🪩 Spending time in a shared community experience with others has powerful effects on our well-being.
🪩 The movement of dancing, especially with others, reduces our physiological stress response and boosts “happy hormones.”
🪩 65% of the women in this study even described these experiences as spiritual for them.

If you’ve ever been to an EDM event, what was your favorite part?

“You look so pretty.”

It’s something most of us say without thinking -- but it may shape something unintentional.

Galia therapist and parent coach, Michelle Piven, shares a small shift she's been trying to make in her home: moving from appearance-based praise to something deeper. It’s not about getting it perfect, but about being a little more intentional with what we reflect back to our kids.

WOMEN ARE DIAGNOSED WITH ADHD, ON AVERAGE, FIVE YEARS LATER THAN MEN.

Last year, two researchers conducted a study to more fully understand the implications of the severe delays in diagnosis of ADHD that girls and women experience. Their work was built on substantial other research that indicates later diagnosis results in significant and profound impacts.

What the researchers found wouldn’t surprise anyone who was forced to go too long without understanding their condition: sadness, grief, anger, anxiety challenges, relationship strain.

But what feels most important to me is the way that later diagnosis means our concept of self is altered. We experience guilt, shame, and deep self-criticism when we grow up not understanding why we feel different and unable to fit into others’ expectations.

To soothe and mask those feelings, so many women turn to overwork, overthinking, and overcompensating. They often reach a point of exhaustion and burnout, which is sometimes when they finally learn what’s underneath.

Here are two resources for you, and you can find more on each at the links below:

If you're a solo provider or practice owner, you've probably had the thought (or worry), "What happens if something happens to ME?" Because we're often so deep in all of the other work, we rarely find answers to these questions.

We love supporting women-owned small businesses, and so we are delighted to be partnering with Alloy Development Co. for this upcoming free, virtual event where we can stop avoiding these questions and start building security.

This session will help us understand the considerations and systems we need to make sure clients and our business are tended.
