Somewhere along the way, we decided that good mothers create flawless holiday experiences - and that going into debt or working ourselves to exhaustion is just part of the deal.

Elf on the shelf. Matching pajamas. Elaborate decorations. All the "magic" that requires someone's invisible labor - usually women's - and often, money families don't have.

But your kids won't remember how much you spent or how Pinterest-perfect the house looked. They'll remember if you were present or exhausted. They'll remember if December felt joyful or stressful.

Holiday magic built on your burnout or financial strain isn't magic. It's pressure dressed up as tradition.

You're allowed to do less. You're allowed to skip trends. You're allowed to protect your peace and your budget.

The people who love you don't need your debt or your exhaustion - they need you present.

A job well done to Jenna, who has just completed the Perinatal Mood Disorders: Components of Care training course!

We asked Jenna for just one thing that she learned during the training and this is what she said:

"One thing I’ve loved learning is how complex and vulnerable the perinatal experience really is. Parents are navigating identity shifts, exhaustion, fear, joy, and everything in between. I’m grateful for the ways this training will help me to support parents who need compassion, not judgment."

Everyone understands grief when someone dies. There are rituals, casseroles, condolence cards. But what about when you're grieving someone who's still alive? A parent with dementia who no longer recognizes you. A relationship that ended without closure. The person you used to be before trauma changed you.
This is grief without recognition. There's no funeral, no clear endpoint, no social permission to fall apart. You're mourning something real while being told to "look on the bright side" or "at least they're still here."

Ambiguous loss is particularly cruel because it offers no resolution—just an ongoing ache that others can't see or validate. You're left carrying a loss that the world doesn't acknowledge, wondering if you even have the right to grieve.
If this resonates with you, we're here to help. Your grief is real, even when others can't see it.

¡Feliz Día de los Mu***os!

As many in our community celebrate Día de los Mu***os, we join in honoring those who are no longer with us.

In the spirit of this beautiful tradition, we remember them not with sadness alone, but by celebrating who they were: their laughter, their kindness, their favorite songs, the memories that still make us smile.

We carry their light forward. We keep their stories alive. We hold them in our hearts.

Who are you celebrating today? Share a favorite memory. 🕯️💜

¡Feliz Día de los Mu***os!

Mientras muchos en nuestra comunidad celebran el Día de los Mu***os, nos unimos para honrar a quienes ya no están con nosotros.

En el espíritu de esta hermosa tradición, los recordamos no solo con tristeza, sino celebrando quiénes fueron: su risa, su bondad, sus canciones favoritas, los recuerdos que aún nos hacen sonreír.

Llevamos su luz hacia adelante. Mantenemos vivas sus historias. Los guardamos en nuestros corazones.

¿A quién estás celebrando hoy? Comparte un recuerdo favorito. 🕯️💜

"I am passionate about mindfulness and often utilize mind-body bridging to help clients connect to their bodies and their present experience," Michaela explains. This approach helps clients ground themselves in the present moment, particularly valuable when past trauma or anxiety about the future feels overwhelming.

Her training in Lifespan Integration provides another powerful tool for clients working through trauma. This gentle yet effective method helps process difficult experiences and integrate them into a cohesive life narrative, allowing clients to move forward without being defined by their past.

5 Ways Cats Protect Their Mental Health (And Why They're Honestly Crushing It)
Happy National Cat Day! While we're out here doom-scrolling and forgetting to drink water, cats have been quietly mastering the art of mental wellness. Here are five self-care strategies they've perfected:

1. They nap without guilt
Cats sleep 12-16 hours a day and feel ZERO shame about it. No "I should be productive" thoughts. No checking their phone first. Just pure, uninterrupted rest. They understand that sleep isn't lazy—it's essential. Revolutionary.

2. They set boundaries like champions
Want to pet a cat who's done with you? Good luck. They have zero problem communicating their limits, whether that's a swishing tail, a warning meow, or just walking away mid-interaction. They don't people-please themselves into overstimulation.

3. They find joy in the smallest things
A dust particle floating through a sunbeam? Entertainment for 20 minutes. A cardboard box? Better than any expensive cat bed. Cats remind us that happiness doesn't require a big budget or grand plans—sometimes it's just about that one specific spot of sunshine on the floor.

4. They demand what they need
Hungry? They'll tell you. Want attention? You'll know. Need space? Also extremely clear. Cats don't hint or hope you'll read their mind—they advocate for themselves directly. Imagine.

5. They literally do not care what anyone thinks
Your cat has never once worried about being perceived. They'll groom themselves in the middle of your Zoom call, knock your stuff off the counter, and sleep in the weirdest positions without any self-consciousness whatsoever. Peak mental freedom.

So this National Cat Day, maybe take a page from your feline friend's book: nap more, set boundaries, enjoy the little things, ask for what you need, and worry less about looking cool.

You've been told you're "too nice." That you're a people-pleaser. That you need better boundaries. But what if your excessive accommodation isn't a personality flaw—it's a trauma response?

Fawning means saying yes when you mean no, smoothing over tension you didn't create, and prioritizing everyone's comfort except your own. It developed because at some point, being agreeable kept you safe. Your nervous system learned that managing others' emotions was a matter of survival.

The problem? What once protected you now traps you. You've become so skilled at reading others and anticipating their needs that you've lost touch with your own entirely. You're still operating as if keeping the peace is life or death.

If this resonates with you, we're here to help. True kindness includes yourself.
