📚 NIDO BOOK CLUB ~ A Gathering Place for Reflection & Connection

It’s official — Nido is starting a virtual book club! We believe that now, more than ever, community and meaningful conversation are essential to our well-being. This space is for anyone longing to connect over powerful ideas, deepen self-understanding, and share in thoughtful reflection — all through the lens of intentional reading.

Whether you’re a therapist, a client, or simply someone curious and craving connection, we welcome you. Come as you are — your voice, your pace, your insights — all belong here.

✨ What to Expect:
• We meet twice a month for guided conversations
• Led by one of our warm, grounded Nido therapists
• Donation-based – give what you can, no pressure
• Entirely virtual, so you can join from anywhere
• Open to ALL identities, backgrounds, and perspectives

This isn’t your typical book club. It’s a shared space for curiosity, care, and collective learning. We’ll be reading books that spark dialogue about healing, identity, relationships, liberation, and the inner world — with time for silence, for depth, and for connection.

We’d love to read with you. 💛

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance, a day to honor the lives lost to anti-transgender violence and reflect on the resilience of the trans community.

This day invites us to:

+ Attend a vigil or moment of remembrance in solidarity. (We've suggested a few in the OC & LA area, by LGBTQ Center Orange County , Angeles Civil + Human Rights and Equity Department, The LGBTQ Center Long Beach, & Latino Equality Alliance & Mi Centro).

+ Learn about the experiences and stories of trans individuals.

+ Uplift trans voices and advocate for equality.

+ Reflect on how we can create a world rooted in safety and acceptance.

We invite you to share in the comments how you're honoring this day-whether through a quiet moment, an act of advocacy, or supporting trans-led initiatives.

Let's stand together and create a ripple of compassion and change.

A note from our founder, Sarah.

"Remember to take care of yourself and lean on the community around you. We’re stronger together, and we’ll continue to show up, protect each other, and work toward healing. Let’s hold space for ourselves and each other in this difficult time."

Mental health isn’t just a personal matter – it’s a political one too. Policies at every level, from local to national, shape how we access care, the quality of that care, and whether it’s affordable or even available at all. When we talk about mental health care, we must talk about the systems that support or deny it. Let’s stay informed, speak up, and push for change that protects everyone’s right to accessible mental health care. And… vote!

Here’s a few of many reasons why it matters.

The Neurodiversity Movement ~

One of our favorite slides from Nido’s all-team training last week on neurodiversity, led by our founder, Sarah Finch, LMFT!

♾️ All brains are different
♾️ Neurological differences (like ADHD & Autism) are good and necessary.
♾️ The movement rejects pathology based explanations & the medical model of diagnoses… Self-diagnosis is valid!
♾️ This movement is connected to other civil rights movement: BIPOC, decolonization, disability justice, healing justice, critical theory, multicultural frameworks, Intersectionality, feminism, LGBTQIA, Trans Liberation, Radical Fat Positivity & more

What’s something from the Neurodiversity Movement that you’re learning, embodying or prioritizing lately? What are some questions you have about the movement?
