🌞 Summer Isn’t Easy for Everyone 🌞
While summer is often portrayed as carefree and joyful, it can be an incredibly challenging season for many.
💧 For those living with chronic illnesses like dysautonomia, MS, or POTS, the heat can trigger debilitating symptoms and isolation.
👩👧👦 Parents—working or not—often find themselves overwhelmed, juggling childcare, work responsibilities, and the emotional labor of keeping everything afloat.
🍽️ Families living in poverty face the weight of rising costs, lack of childcare, and limited access to cool, safe spaces.
📉 And small business owners may see downturns, added stress, and unpredictability in the summer slump.
If you’re feeling stretched thin, unseen, or struggling right now—you’re not alone. Your experience matters.
And if summer brings you lightness and ease, we invite you to carry that with kindness, holding space for those quietly navigating more difficult days.
At Ash & Bloom Counseling, we hold space for the full range of summer experiences, not just the sunny ones. 🌿
We’re here to support you through the season, no matter what it looks like.
