Healing Steps with Stefanie

✨ Sometimes it’s not you that needs fixing, it’s just that you haven’t found your weird and wonderful people yet.

For so long I thought I was just too much, too sensitive, too awkward.

But I was just in the wrong room.

Now I know I’m not broken, I’m a perfectly chaotic glitter gremlin, and I belong with other sparkly weirdos 💖🌈

If you’ve ever felt out of place, I promise your people are out there.

And they’ll love you exactly as you are (anxious overthinky chaos and all).

🌟 Save this for a little reminder that you’re not alone.

You’re just on your way to your squad.

The way you speak to yourself matters. Let it be with the same kindness you offer to those you care about. 💙

Thinking of someone? Text them, call them, tell them you care. It can make all the difference. 💚

💙 Take the day. Lie in the grass. Journal. Cry. Nap. Breathe. Whatever helps you come home to yourself.

✨ When your brain feels scrambled, your to-do list feels like a monster, or your body keeps whispering “please slow down”—that’s your sign. You deserve a pause.

🌱 A mental health day is a day to reset your nervous system. Not for errands. Not for inbox zero. Just for you.

Here’s what to watch for:
💬 You’re overwhelmed by the basics
💤 You’re burnt out but still pushing
🥀 You’ve lost interest in what once brought joy
🌀 You can’t concentrate
💢 Your body feels tense or off

I know how easy it is to doubt yourself when the world feels overwhelming and your inner critic won’t shut up. But try to believe in yourself anyway because you're pretty awesome.
