✨ SHE IS HERE ✨ My 2026 Mental Wellness Calendar and I am obsessed!

I am so excited for this because this calendar genuinely helped me stay grounded, focused, and intentional all year long. It supported me in setting yearly goals, monthly goals, and weekly goals—and yes, she is absolutely for my ADHD girlies 💖

It is designed for women and anyone who loves them who want a clear, organized way to:
• Track your menstrual cycle
• Monitor PMDD symptoms
• Track mood, sleep, and energy
• Create accurate insight for diagnosis & treatment planning

PLUS ✨ weekly focus sections like:
🧠 Clarity planning
✨ Manifestation planning
🏋️‍♀️ Fitness tracking
😴 Sleep tracking
📊 And so much more

She’s smaller and more compact than last year’s version, which means I’m able to offer her at $24.99 — half the price of last year 🎉

You can find her on Amazon.com (link is in my bio). A quick Amazon search of my name will pull her up too.

I truly hope everyone who purchases one enjoys, loves, and finds it supportive—not just for daily planning, but for tracking mental health with compassion and clarity. 💕

Anger management does not mean:
• Swallowing your feelings
• Staying quiet to keep the peace
• Forcing yourself to “calm down”
• Shaming yourself for being upset 😔

Real anger management means:
• Naming what you feel
• Pausing before reacting
• Expressing anger safely
• Choosing responses aligned with your values 😌

You don’t need to get rid of anger.
You need skills to carry it without dropping it on everyone around you. 💣

Parts mapping is a powerful way to externalize your inner world and see it with more clarity and compassion.

📝 Grab sticky notes or use an online tool like Canva.
Give each part a name or role (e.g., Inner Critic, People Pleaser, Protector, Exhausted Part).

📍 Place the notes where they feel right.
Closer notes may represent louder or more activated parts. Farther away might feel quieter or protected.

🎨 Use colors, symbols, or shapes.
Different colors can represent protectors, exiles, or emotions. There’s no wrong way—follow your intuition.

💬 Get curious, not critical.
Ask: What is this part afraid of? What is it trying to protect? When did it learn this job?

✨ The goal isn’t to fix or remove parts.
It’s to understand them, unblend from them, and lead with Self-energy.
This simple tool can bring clarity, safety, and compassion—especially when emotions feel overwhelming.

💭 Have you ever mapped your parts before?

12/24/2025

Friendly reminder: You are not asking for too much. You’re asking from the wrong people, possibly at the wrong moments—and now you’re learning timing, language, and self-trust.

Here are three things to help build inner safety:
👍 3 people you can lean on emotionally.
👍 Rituals that anchor you whether you are single or in a relationship.
👍 Being financially independent (as much as possible).

Anger shows up when a boundary has been crossed, a need hasn’t been met, or something feels unfair. The problem isn’t feeling angry—the problem is what we were taught to do with it. 🤨

Anger can be expressed without exploding.
Anger can be honored without harming yourself or others.😮‍💨
Anger can guide change when it’s listened to instead of suppressed.
Learning anger management isn’t about becoming calm all the time—it’s about becoming safe, aware, and intentional with your emotions. 😌

Healing in IFS isn’t rushed or forced. It’s guided by the 5 Ps, which describe how we relate to our parts with Self-energy.

💬 Which “P” do you need more of in your healing right now?

I’m beyond excited to finally share my 2026 Wellness Calendar—a thoughtfully designed tool that blends mental health, creativity, and intentional planning all in one place.

🗓️ This is more than a calendar—it’s a self-awareness and symptom-tracking companion.

💫 What’s inside:
• A life assessment covering 8 major areas of life
• Simple, easy-to-understand education on the women’s menstrual cycle
• A PMDD checklist to help track patterns and symptoms
• Values assessments to keep you aligned with what truly matters
• Monthly goals, focused topics, and reflection space
• Dedicated sections for gratitude, sleep, workouts, budgeting, and manifesting
• Yearly, monthly, weekly, and daily goal-setting to support ADHD focus and follow-through
• A mental-health-informed approach to a traditional calendar—created by a licensed professional counselor with a creative heart

🧠💖 My hope is that this calendar helps individuals better understand their mental health—whether you’re seeking clarity for diagnosis, tracking symptoms over time, or needing structure that actually supports your brain.

💰 Price: $24.99

The 8 C’s of Core Self in Internal Family Systems (IFS),

Calm – You feel grounded and steady.
Clarity – You can see your situation and your inner world clearly.
Compassion – You respond to yourself and others with care and understanding.
Curiosity – You’re open and interested instead of judging or reacting.
Confidence – You trust yourself and your ability to lead.
Courage – You’re willing to face what’s difficult without being overwhelmed.
Creativity – You can problem-solve and shift perspectives freely.
Connectedness – You feel connected to others and your inner parts.

IFS teaches that when you’re in Self (these C’s), you can heal and lead your inner system with wisdom instead of fear or trauma patterns.

Let’s normalize this: Cutting someone off for the holidays isn’t cruelty—It’s clarity, growth, and self-protection.

Boundary Ideas:
• I won’t participate in conversations that tear me down.
• I’m skipping events that make me anxious or uncomfortable.
• My peace is non-negotiable this season.
Your holidays should feel warm—not triggering.

12/12/2025

Healing isn’t about “fixing yourself.”
It’s about reconnecting with the Self that’s always been whole. 💫

12/11/2025

More ideas for holiday boundaries:

• “Not attending, but thank you for the invite.”
• “I’m not available for last-minute emotional emergencies.”
• “Let’s keep conversations positive or we can revisit later.”

Sometimes cutting people off IS the holiday miracle. 🎁✨

Complex PTSD often creates:
• Emotional flashbacks
• Harsh inner critics
• Overprotective parts
• “Shutting down” or “checking out”
• Feeling like many selves inside
• Chronic self-blame

IFS doesn’t pathologize any of this. Instead, it says: “Of course these parts are working hard — they learned to protect you."
