What light will you remember?🫡

For those observing Memorial Day and honoring those who served and sacrificed, I encourage you to take a moment to think of all the luminaries whose lives were cut short and the stories they would tell.

I’m resharing a piece I wrote last year after a visit to the Fredericksburg National Cemetery. I hope you take a moment to pause and read.

Want to read the full article, leave a comment and I’ll share it with you in York DMs.

Your self-talk is more powerful than you think. 🧠✨⁣

I was talking about this with at , and we kept coming back to one thing: the conversations we have with ourselves shape everything.⁣

Neuroscience shows that the words you repeat to yourself influence your confidence, stress levels, emotional resilience, and even how your nervous system responds under pressure. ⁣

Negative self-talk can activate the brain’s threat response, while compassionate, supportive language helps strengthen neural pathways connected to emotional well-being, confidence, and nervous system regulation.⁣

That’s why 𝗧.𝗛.𝗜.𝗡.𝗞. is one of the tools I use in the 𝙃𝙐𝙂 𝙞𝙩 𝙊𝙪𝙩® Method to help people become kinder to their minds and more aware of the stories they’re repeating. ⁣

Before you speak to yourself or someone else, pause and ask:⁣

👉 Is it True?⁣
👉 Is it Helpful?⁣
👉 Is it Inspiring?⁣
👉 Is it Necessary?⁣
👉 Is it Kind?⁣

✨ Because when you use T.H.I.N.K., you’re not just changing words. You’re reshaping patterns, supporting mental wellness, and choosing to HUG it Out with yourself.⁣

The way you talk to you matters most. 💛⁣

Double-tap if you’re working on healthier self-talk, and save this for the next time negative thoughts try to take the mic. 🎤⁣

HUGS, Hil⁣

What are you carrying right now?⁣


We’re consuming more heartbreak, crisis, and emotional overload than ever before. And while empathy connects us, constantly absorbing the pain of others can deeply impact our nervous systems, our mental health, and our ability to feel grounded.⁣

I recently wrote an article for City Lifestyle Magazine about the impact of secondary traumatic stress, what it is and what you can do right now to support your emotional well-being.⁣

🧠 This isn’t just about burnout. It’s about what happens when the brain and body stay stuck in survival mode from continuous exposure to stress, suffering, and overwhelm.⁣

🧠 Your nervous system needs you. Your brain deserves partnership and relationship in recovery, not just resilience⁣

The world may feel heavy, but compassion for others has to include compassion for self. That’s the HUG it Out way.⁣

To read the full digital article and my 10 ways to be kind to your mind, drop the word STRESS below and I’ll send it your way. 💛⁣

HUGS Hil⁣

Elated to share my new speaking reel. 🎤 🙌 🎥⁣

Not all successes come with applause. Not every event gets recorded. Not all rooms are open to the public.⁣

I’ve had many reels created over the years, it comes with being deeply connected to the worlds of broadcasting, presenting, and performing.⁣

But this one hits differently. It highlights how my passion and purpose have become my profession. ⁣

Supporting high-performing teams in high-stress environments find calm in the chaos. But it’s more than that. So much more. 👇⁣

It’s impossible to capture every moment in one video, but this is a true reflection of where I’ve been, and where I choose to flow.⁣

🌟 I often say my voice and connection are my superpowers. That’s not a gift I’m willing to waste. I care deeply about holistic mental health and providing neuroscience-backed tools and techniques to build resilience, agency, and connection.⁣

🙌 That is the heart of the HUG it Out® way. Healing is possible when Humor, Understanding, and Gratitude toward self are present.⁣

𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲:⁣
• Humor, Understanding, and Gratitude (The HUG it Out® Framework)⁣
• Human Connection⁣
• Resilience and Team Building⁣
• Broadcast Burnout⁣
• From Overwhelm to Oxytocin Dealer⁣
• Impact of Secondary Traumatic Stress⁣

• Resources for resilience⁣

🎟️ We’re booking events for 2026 and 2027. From keynotes and corporate wellness workshops to speaking on some of my dream stages and in spaces that fill me with awe and gratitude. ⁣

It’s just the beginning, and there’s still room to grow.⁣

Grief is personal. ❤️‍🩹 ⁣

For me, it’s Sunday morning coffee dates with my dad.⁣

He’s been gone almost 25 years.⁣
But this is one ritual I will never give up. It’s a hill I’m willing to die on. ⁣

💛This is his mug. ⁣
💛This is our time. ⁣
💛This is how I choose to HUG it Out with my healing and honor this loss.⁣

He’s with me when I’ve faced other losses. He’s been with me as I’ve been writing my book. He’s been with me as I plant my garden and enjoy a good meal. He’s been with me in the silence, answering my questions.⁣

The colors of the mug may be fading, but the love never dies.⁣

☕️ This is my hug in a mug. This is dad.⁣

If you’ve faced your own loss or you are confronted by grief, find ways to spend time with that person you mourn. ⁣

If it’s too painful, there are people who can support you on this journey who understand grief support. ⁣
I am one of them and understand. ⁣

🧠 When I found Havening Techniques, It was the first time I was able to process the grief differently and build a relationship with the feeling and the healing. It’s not getting rid of the loss, it’s approaching it differently to create a safe space for your nervous system. ⁣

👉 How do you HUG it Out with your grief? What brings you comfort like a hug in a mug? ⁣

🫂 And if you want to join me for my next Online Havening experience to see how you can HUG it Out with your grief, drop the word HUG in the comments and I’ll send you a special invite. ⁣

HUGS to the healing. Hil ⁣
