Happy Birthday

07/04/2025

On a day when many celebrate freedom—PMLLC stands in refusal. We do not celebrate a nation founded on genocide, built by enslaved people, and still actively harming communities to engage in both behaviors.

This July 4th, we’re reclaiming the day for truth, justice, and wellness.

Instead of patriotic pageantry, we support STAY OUT OF BED DAY—a UK-based holiday rooted in behavioral activation and mental health.

🛏️ The challenge? Don’t touch your bed all day.
🌳 Nap under trees.
🧠 Try new things.
💪🏾 Engage your body in movement and stillness.

This isn’t about denying rest—it’s about disrupting despair and reclaiming your life.

Let’s build a world where no one’s “freedom” comes at the cost of another’s suffering.

BOOK SPOTLIGHT:
The Physics of Angels
by Matthew Fox & Rupert Sheldrake
Where science meets spirit.
Where mysticism meets mental health.

At ProjectMendLLC, we believe that healing doesn’t always happen in the language of charts, diagnoses, or even insight. Sometimes it happens in mystery—in allowing room for archetype, awe, and the imagination.

📖 The Physics of Angels explores historical and mystical writings on angels—not as supernatural decor, but as symbols of connection, guidance, energy, and transformation. Fox and Sheldrake (a theologian + a biologist) ask:

What happens when we take spiritual experience seriously—not just as belief, but as data? PMLLC asks: what if we lived our faith?

🧠 For many of us, especially those living with trauma, OCD, neurodivergence, or deep fatigue...
⚖️ The goal isn’t always answers.
💡 Sometimes it’s resonance.
🌳 Sometimes it’s sitting with the unseen.

Whether or not you “believe” in angels, this book offers something rare in the mental health world:
—a respect for mystery, not as a void, but as a co-therapist.
—a reminder that feeling held, even symbolically, is clinically significant.
—a bridge between nervous system regulation and the sacred.

✨ We believe in evidence-based care-- including wonder.

Sometimes depression shouts.
Sometimes it hides behind a smile.
Sometimes it feels like anger.
Other times it feels like nothing at all.

At ProjectMendLLC, we believe there are over 8 billion presentations of depression—each as sacred, unique, and deserving of gentleness as the next.

Let’s not wait for joy to come rushing in before we offer care.
Sometimes the holy work is letting life suck just 1% less.
Sometimes it's hugging a tree.
Sometimes it's remembering we're not meant to walk alone.

🌲 Forest Bathing Is Not a Luxury
It’s a return.

Not to something trendy or mystical—
but to something ancient, cellular, and alive.

The Japanese call it Shinrin-Yoku:
“Forest bathing.”
Not about exercise. Not even about hiking.
Just being.
Letting the trees do what they’ve done for millennia:
Regulate. Repair. Remind.

🌀 The nervous system responds.
🌬 The breath deepens.
🪵 The mind softens.

You don’t have to do anything.
Just show up. Sit. Breathe. Be witnessed by branches.

At ProjectMendLLC, we use practices like this not as a trend—but as trauma-informed nervous system work that reconnects you to the Self that never stopped belonging.

Let the forest hold what you’ve been carrying.

At ProjectMendLLC, we believe in healing that’s curious, connected, and sometimes a little snout-first. 🐷

Whether it’s wilderness therapy, trauma-informed coaching, or simply finding space to breathe — we’re here for it. All of it. Even the parts you keep tucked away.

(Cautionary tail 😅 this beautiful girl is now 100+LBS and has 2 pig family members, each 200+ LBS, because pigs like pigs. Don't adopt a piglet if you don't also want a pig. 🙂)

“And all Judah stood before the Lord… with their little ones, their wives, and their children.” — 2 Chronicles 20:13

This is what collective prayer can look like.
Not performance. Not perfection.
Just people showing up with open hearts in a hurting world.

We are living through war. Through grief. Through rising fear and falling trust.

Let us not forget the power of sacred stillness. Let us begin with prayer.

If your heart feels called to act, consider fasting, reflecting, and seeking.

Our hope is in a path forward, rooted in the Light—not reaction, not vengeance, not despair.

We remember Jehoshaphat: who gathered his people not to strike, but to stand still and listen.

We invite you to join us in that space.

🕊️ The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus 🕊️
A symbol of divine compassion, love, and endless healing.

At ProjectMendLLC, we believe in tending to every layer of the human experience—body, mind, and spirit. The Sacred Heart reminds us that even in pain, rejection, or fear, we are held by a love that understands suffering intimately.

✨ The pierced heart.
✨ The radiant flames.
✨ The crown of thorns.
These are not just symbols of sacrifice—they are invitations to healing.

Whether you connect through prayer, contemplation, or simply by sitting with your own tender heart, remember: you are already beloved.

The Science of Awe:

A Brain Boost Like No Other

When we experience awe—whether from a mountain view, a powerful story, or deep connection—our brains shift.

➡️ Reduces activity in the Default Mode Network, which helps quiet self-criticism and rumination.
➡️ Boosts oxytocin, increasing connection and empathy.
➡️ Enhances creativity and problem-solving by expanding mental boundaries.
➡️ Regulates the nervous system, calming stress responses and promoting healing.

At ProjectMendLLC, we believe awe isn’t just a feeling—it’s a healing tool.

🗺️ Where do you find awe?

Trauma isn’t just in your mind—it’s in your body.

When something overwhelms your ability to cope, your nervous system can get stuck in survival mode. That might look like:

⚡ Hyperarousal
– anxiety
– anger
– panic
– insomnia

🥶 Hypoarousal
– numbness
– shutdown
– fatigue
– dissociation

🌀 Or swinging between both.

Your body isn’t broken. It adapted to keep you alive.
At ProjectMendLLC, we honor that intelligence—and help you gently come back into balance.

💡 Healing is possible. Let’s begin.
