Our hearts are heavy following the recent shooting at Brown University.

While violence can feel tragically familiar, it lands differently when it affects a community we serve and care for deeply. Many of our clients are Brown students, and we hold them—along with all those impacted—in our thoughts during this profoundly unsettling time.

We extend our sincerest condolences to the families and loved ones of the two individuals who lost their lives.

If this has brought up fear, grief, or a sense of unease, please know your reactions are valid. Support is available, and you don’t have to hold this alone.

🤍

✨ Ocean State Business Expo ✨

Our team had the opportunity to attend the Ocean State Business Expo, and we’re feeling grateful for the connections we made.

We walked away inspired, energized, and excited for future collaborations. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table and welcomed us so warmly! 💛

The holidays can stir up a lot—joy, pressure, expectations, overstimulation, family dynamics, and endless to-dos. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you’re not alone.

Mindfulness doesn’t mean forcing calm. It means giving yourself a small pause to reconnect with your body and the present moment.

Here are a few gentle practices you can try:
• Stop and breathe: One slow inhale, one long exhale.
• Feel your feet: Notice the ground beneath you to anchor your mind.
• Orient to your surroundings: Name one thing you see, one thing you hear, one thing you feel.
• Take a micro-break: Step outside, let the cold air hit your lungs, and reset for 30 seconds.

Small pauses can help your nervous system settle during a busy season.

Wishing you presence, softness, and steadiness this week. ❄️

December can move quickly—emotionally, socially, and physically.
Instead of jumping into the month on autopilot, try pausing to ask yourself:

“What do I need more of—and what do I need less of—this month?”

Intention-setting isn’t about perfection or pressure.
It’s about noticing what matters and choosing small, meaningful steps toward it.
Even a single word—rest, clarity, connection, steadiness—can guide the month ahead.

Here’s your gentle reminder: you get to shape this month in a way that supports your wellbeing. 🌿

Thanksgiving can be a mix of warmth, pressure, joy, and emotional complexity.

If this holiday feels heavy, you’re not alone. Give yourself permission to take breaks, set boundaries, and honor what you need. Gratitude can coexist with grief, stress, or discomfort.

Wishing you a grounded and gentle holiday. 🧡
