Definitely worth a repost🥰

✨Don’t postpone your joy.✨

Make, find, nurture the joy that is present in your life today and allow yourself to fully be in that space for as long as it may last.

Please don’t let it flash by unnoticed.

🌱Cultivate your awareness of how joy is showing up in your life.
See it not as something reserved for special occasions.

It may not always be the thing that roars loudly with excitement, but rather the simple moments whispering happiness to you… like a warm smile when you’re looking for comfort.

I can think of a thousand things that can spark joy in our every day lives and my wish for you is that you see them, feel them, be in those moments.

🌱Please consider allowing joy to show up for you in all the ways you may be overlooking.

May it feel like warm sunshine on your skin and leave you feeling peaceful and alive☀️

We're in the final stretch of summer — the last slow, sweet days before everything shifts.

Before backpacks take the place of beach towels…
Before snuggly mornings become hurried ones…
Before the house gets quiet too soon after the day begins.

These are the last weeks of sticky popsicle fingers, muddy feet from backyard play, and long, messy days full of giggles, sidewalk chalk, and crafts that somehow end up everywhere. The days where sunscreen smudges faces, playdoh covers the floor, and “watch this, mama!” plays on repeat.

These are the final days where they are still all mine — before I have to start sharing them with the world again.

I'll miss the mornings that move slowly and afternoons that stretch on.

So I’m holding on tight.
To the chaos, the mess, the magic.
To the beauty of right now.

Because one day, I’ll look back and see it clearly…
These were the ✨️golden✨️ days.

Ive been moving more and more towards the language of promoting ✨Mental Wealth✨ because I want to convey the fact that each behavior change, practice, resource and tool you accumulate affords you a compounding interest on your overall health and wellbeing.

The growth potential over time (and residual impact on outcomes) builds with each new awareness, insight, skill, practice, tool and assets you place in your portfolio and USE!
Learning the art and skill of how to use the tools is just as critical as acquiring them or simply having them.

Re-authoring the narrative around Mental Health involves adapting our perspective, language, and the way we craft our story and image. To me, this is how we “end”stigma. It takes time and deliberate, intentional energy and response but it can be done.

Building your own health wealth is possible. It begins one intentional step at a time.

I invite you to join me (and so many others) on this mission, and discover your own unique personal narrative.

And of course, please come join me and a group of fabulous providers and practices who are passionate about facilitating your health and wellbeing!
Saturday 5/11/24 from 1-3pm. Downtown Youngstown Main Library arm 161.

Cultivate your Mental Wealth🌱✨

Every day before I walk into my office, I pause in gratitude. Really, I do. If youre an office neighbor you probably wonder what the heck I’m doing 🤣

And it makes me chuckle because it makes me think back to my early days as a young clinician hauling a double snakes to work sometimes not exactly being on time🫣, and really having to switch gears and dial in so quickly.

And now I’m early.
I’m ready to go.
I move with intention.

I love walking into my space to do my thing. Our thing. Welcoming in the people that I absolutely love spending my time with, in person or over the World Wide Web.

Clinical clients from all over the state of Ohio in one business and coaching clients from all over the States in the next.

7 years ago, I started getting even more laser focused —about what I wanted my days to feel like, the kind of work that lights me up, and the life I wanted to live. Because I knew that the quality of our life and lifestyle is really a combination of all the habits and rhythms and routines that we have for ourselves, every day and every month and every season, every year. And didn’t like the rhythm and pace I was in.

I didn’t quit everything overnight. It wasn’t dramatic. It was a quiet, intentional shift—small decisions, made consistently, to move toward something that felt more ME. Moving the needle.

Fast forward to now: I work for myself, I create my own schedule, and I walk into this little office with a sense of joy, ownership, and alignment that I never take for granted.

This moment didn’t happen by chance—it’s the result of showing up, tuning in, and making choices that honored the life I truly wanted. I’m so proud of this journey and so thankful to everyone who’s been a part of it.

Moving the needle is what I do, it’s what we do. so for whatever your version of success and peace and happiness looks like, we dial in.

Here’s to building your version of happiness—one step, one decision, one day at a time. 💛
