Nature doesn’t apologize for needing rest or protection... and neither should you.

Your boundaries aren’t always walls.

Protecting your peace is a form of seasonal self-care.

What’s one boundary that’s been keeping you grounded lately?

Kimberly Sutterfield, LCSW, is here to talk about SAD.
And yes, it can actually be about being sad, but it specifically means Seasonal Affective Disorder.
It’s a very real thing that many of us struggle with this time of the year. Knowing how to
identify it and navigate it is extremely helpful. And knowing when you need to ask for help
with it is essential.

We’re not meant to bloom all year.

This is the time for roots and rest… For soft blankets, candlelight, and slow mornings.

We’d love to hear… what does wintering mean to you this year?

Calm and clarity don't have to be hard to achieve.

Most of what feels heavy is just energy out of alignment.

Your mind isn’t broken.
It’s just tired. Scattered. Pulled too many ways.

What you need is a reset! And it isn't even complicated!

Small habits can bring you back home, one at a time...

A walk. A stretch. A song that always lands in the right place in your mind. Lighting a candle. Breathing deeper and really feeling it.

You just need habits that meet you where you are in the moment, again and again.

What are some great "resets" that have worked for you? Feel free to chime in and share!

This time of year, “be grateful” can start to sound like background noise. But gratitude isn’t just a nice idea — it creates a real biochemical shift in the brain.

When we pause to notice what’s working — a kind word, sunlight, a laugh — our brains release dopamine and serotonin, which boost mood and help us feel connected and safe. Over time, this rewires us to notice more of what’s good, even when life feels heavy.

Try integrating gratitude into your day:
• Before checking your phone, name one thing you’re thankful for.
• When something feels beautiful, take 5 extra seconds to really feel it.
• Tell someone you appreciate them. This lifts you both!
• End the day recalling one peaceful or joyful moment.

Gratitude doesn’t mean ignoring what’s hard. It simply helps your nervous system find a way back to balance.

November snuck up again — and with it comes the season of “extra everything.”

Extra plans, extra emotions, extra family opinions, and a weather pattern that always seems to have its own personality disorder (looking at you, Northwest Arkansas!).

Right now, give yourself permission to slow down before the holiday whirlwind begins.

Rest, reset, and remember: peace of mind is a practice, not a luxury.

The world feels heavy enough — we don’t need to add more weight. Let’s bring gentleness with us into the last few months of this crazy year.

🎃✨ Happy Halloween, everyone! ✨🎃

Wishing you a night that’s safe, kind, and full of a little (harmless) mischief. Remember — this is a holiday made for imagination and joy, no matter your age!

So let the teenagers trick-or-treat. Let the adults dress up and laugh too loudly. Let the little ones believe in magic just a little longer.

A bit of playfulness is good for the heart, mind, and spirit — and we could all use more of that.

Stay safe, stay kind, and have a spooktacular evening! 👻

Sometimes, the scariest part of change isn’t what’s waiting on the other side —
it’s deciding to take the first step.

We tell ourselves we’ll do it when we “feel ready”…
But “ready” isn’t a feeling. It’s a decision.

The truth is: waiting to feel ready might mean waiting forever. And the choice to stay where you are can be far scarier than the one that moves you forward.

This Halloween, take a look at what’s haunting your growth —
fear, doubt, perfectionism, comfort —
and ask: which is the real monster?

Choose courage over comfort.
Choose the next brave step — even if your knees are shaking.
