New blog alert!
“We all wear masks and not just the kind you find on Halloween. Emotional masking means hiding or suppressing what we truly feel in order to appear “okay.” It’s a coping mechanism that allows us to fit in, avoid judgment, or maintain peace. We smile when we’re exhausted, laugh when we feel like crying, and say, “I’m fine” even when we are definitely not. While it can help us navigate social situations, it often comes at a quiet cost to our emotional well-being.” Read on at the link in our bio!

There’s something magical about fall, and it’s not the Pumpkin Spice. The air is crisp, warm colors everywhere, and of course, the satisfying crunch of leaves underfoot. Beyond being a nostalgic seasonal joy, that crunch can actually serve as a powerful grounding technique for mental health.
Grounding is a practice that helps bring your mind back to the present moment. It’s especially useful when stress, anxiety, or overwhelming thoughts start to take over. By engaging your senses, you can reconnect with your body and surroundings.
Walking through fallen leaves offers a perfect opportunity for this. Notice the texture of the ground beneath your feet, the sharp crackle as each step lands, and even the earthy scent of autumn in the air.
