Miss Major is remembered with love and light as a fierce and committed Black, transgender activist who fought for over fifty years for her trans/GNC community.
🏳️‍⚧️ 🕯
Miss Major was a veteran of the infamous Stonewall Riots, as well as a survivor of Dannemora Prison and Bellevue Hospital. Her global legacy of activism is deeply rooted in her own life experiences and she continued her work to uplift transgender women of color, particularly those who have survived incarceration and police brutality, until she passed this year.
🏳️‍⚧️ 🕯
Miss Major’s intersectional approach to justice brought her to care directly for people with HIV/AIDS in New York in the early 1980's and later to drive San Francisco’s first mobile needle exchange. As director of the TGI Justice Project, she returned to prisons as a mentor, ran the House of GG-TILIFI, a retreat center for trans and gender nonconforming leaders from the Southern U.S. Her recent creative projects have included documentaries, books, and podcasts; she leaves a legacy of advocacy and commitment inspiring all of those who have followed.

🏳️‍⚧️ 🕯 We honor you, Miss Major, and thank you endlessly. 🏳️‍⚧️ 🕯

Since it’s not a diagnosable medical condition, burnout is a term that’s widely used and even interchanged with stress or overwhelm. By recognizing the symptoms of burnout, such as feeling mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausted, is critical in order to start reversing these effects. Attempts to pause, reevaluate your priorities, and make changes in your life, along with the right treatment and support, can give you an opportunity to recover from burnout, regain your energy and enthusiasm, and feel more hopeful.

Think you're seeing signs?
Try the 'Three R's' - 1) Recognize: watch for the warning signs of burnout; 2) Reverse: undo the damage by seeking support and managing stress; 3) Resilience: build your resilience to stress by taking care of your physical and emotional health.

✨ Clinician Spotlight: Cassie! ✨

✨ Who/what is your counseling/therapy inspiration?
Vikor Frankl. His school of thought emphasizes creating meaning to our suffering. This is not to bypass the work-but to get fuel to continue the fight for justice solidarity and truth. Dreaming, humor, creating and friendship are essential to the process of dismantling harmful systems!

✨ Famous person/fictional character you'd like to meet?
Cher. Need I say more!

✨ Favorite place to be/travel?
New Orleans! A magical city with lovely folks, robust history, and delicious food. As a “witch”/ practitioner, I felt in my element. Plus, alligators are one of my favorite animals!

✨ When I’m not working, I am ____!
Junk journaling, traveling with the husband, spell work, being an aunty, writing, laughing with friends, podcasts/audiobooks, and diving into whatever topic I’m interested in at the moment. And of course, snuggling with our cat Maggie!

The world is leaning towards its own shadow, and every living thing begins the work of descent and decomposition.
Reduced daylight means more melatonin, less serotonin, and lower dopamine turnover. This is the body's biological cue to slow down.
We caffeinate, schedule and doomscroll through the dark, mistaking exhaustion for failure.
But the nervous system functions like a forest; periods of dormancy are what prevent burnout, both in neurons and in ecosystems. Every species that survives winter, does so by doing less, by grieving and letting go. This is not the time to think about endurance, but to give yourself permission to slow down.
November is a time for soul fermentation. Compost everything you've gathered. Let it heat quietly in the dark, what grows from it will know exactly when to surface.

It came out of nowhere. The familiar heaviness, the all-consuming ache, and the bracing for impact. It had been so long since this terrifying experience of reliving visited. The heart and mind completely unaware. But the body recalling, remembering.

It felt every single moment, like a piercing sting to the chest. The burn of betrayal and abandonment’s lasting memory revived in the swift increase of the hearts beating, tightening of the chest, gasping to get down more air, weakness in the knees.
The body mistaking past scars for open wounds.

Let the heart and mind catch on, name this for what it is: a Traumaversary. Then when the tears come; when the fear, grief, sadness and/or numbness arrive- Sit with them, hold yourself tight through this. Allow the tears flow and then fall. And compassionately remind your body you are safe and it is ok to breathe deeply.
