Happy Wednesday! ☀ We hope you all are enjoying the sunshine! 🌳

We're so excited to share some of what we ate this week. It's important for us at Oak City to continue normalizing eating well and eating all types of food! There are so many messages out there that connect food and how we eat to feelings of guilt or "shoulds." Food is not guilt- food is nourishment, and we're at our best when we're nourished.

Progress can show up in many different ways! 🥇

What's something that feels like you've won as a therapist? (getting notes done is HUGE)

In March we recognize ALL women of the past, present, and future who shape our world! 🌼 We are consistently inspired by the heart, commitment, and ideas of those who came before us. We raise up the women currently fighting for equality and what is right- with hope of making the world a better place for those after us.

The fight is feeling harder and harder these days, but we must stay united in resistance as we look to the future. Happy Women's History Month! 🌈

Happy What We're Eating Wednesday 💛✨🍓

The OCP staff had some delicious eats that fueled our bodies and spirits this week! 💛🌳 Sharing our meals is one small way we challenge the messaging from diet culture. Because all foods fit.
