The Harvest Supermoon in Aries is lighting up the sky tonight: bold, bright, and a little intense. 🌕

You might feel restless, emotional, or ready to make a change. Before you do, take a breath. Let the energy move through you instead of reacting right away.

This moon is a good time to shake off old tension, say what’s been sitting in your chest, and remind yourself what really matters to you. Aries energy can be fiery, but that same fire can warm you too - it’s the courage to be honest with yourself. 🔥

What are you ready to release tonight?

đź’¨ Feeling overloaded by the news? Part 3 of our series shares three quick nervous system resets to help you ground in the moment.

But here’s the truth: quick fixes are just the beginning. Real healing comes from consistent practice, community, and support.

That’s why we are creating Rooted Willows, a space to build resilience, explore deeper tools, and connect with others on the same path 💜

✨ Why does bad news hit so hard?

It’s not that you’re “too sensitive.” Your body is wired to protect you.

Even when the threat is on a screen, your nervous system reacts as if it’s happening right in front of you.

Feeling overwhelmed by the headlines isn’t a flaw — it’s your biology doing its job. 🧠💙

When children leave, the rhythm of daily life shifts dramatically. Many people describe feeling untethered or overwhelmed by silence.

You may find yourself questioning your purpose, experiencing increased conflict in your marriage, or even battling symptoms of anxiety or depression.

The truth is, the empty nest can be both a grieving process and a doorway.

Therapy can help you gently move through the emotional terrain of this transition while supporting you in reconnecting with yourself—and with what’s next.

Learn more about what to expect from this life transition and share our blog with someone who might benefit!

09/07/2025

September 2025 brings two major eclipses: a Total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 7 and a Partial Solar Eclipse in Virgo on September 21.

The two-week stretch between them is often called an eclipse portal: a period where many people note intensified emotions, shifts in perspective, and opportunities for release and renewal.

During this time, it’s common to feel more sensitive, unsettled, or introspective. Old patterns may surface for closure, while new insights about daily life, health, and boundaries begin to emerge.

Rather than pushing through, we encourage you to slow down, ground yourself, and use intentional practices to process what comes up.

The first eclipse (Pisces) emphasizes letting go: grief, illusions, or emotional weight. The second (Virgo) emphasizes starting fresh: setting clear, realistic intentions for stability and self-care. Together, they frame a powerful turning point for mental and emotional wellbeing.

🌿 Supportive Practices for the Eclipse Portal
🌊 If emotions feel overwhelming →
Try a short release ritual: write down what you’re carrying, then tear or burn the paper safely.

🌙 If dreams feel vivid or heavy →
Keep a journal by your bed. Write a few lines upon waking, even fragments, to ease the mind.

🌀 If restlessness or anxiety rises →
Practice a 4–7–8 breathing cycle (inhale 4, hold 7, exhale 8) to calm the nervous system.

🪞 If old patterns resurface →
Journal: “What lesson is this showing me? What am I ready to release? Where can I replace judgment with compassion for myself?”

🌱 If you crave new routines → Choose one small supportive habit (hydrating more, stretching 5 minutes a day) and start there.

🔮 If intuition feels strong →
Note synchronicities or gut feelings. Treat them as gentle nudges, not urgent commands.

What you let go of now makes space for what is waiting to take root. Even small steps such as jotting down one feeling you’re ready to release, making a minor change to your routine, or setting a simple intention can align you with the natural rhythm of these eclipses.

Take this as an opportunity to notice your own cycles of release and renewal. We will be sharing more tips throughout the month on our social media, and if you are interested in diving deeper, join the pre-launch club to browse our archive.

Ever felt like you’re drifting through life on autopilot—foggy, disconnected, or like you’re not fully here?

That experience has a name: dissociation.
And you’re not alone. Many people—especially those who’ve lived through trauma or chronic stress—know this feeling all too well.

The truth? Dissociation isn’t about being “broken.” It’s your nervous system doing its best to protect you when things feel overwhelming.

✨ In my latest blog, I share what dissociation really is, why it can feel so scary, and how therapy can gently help you reconnect with yourself.

it’s a nervous system reclamation.
