Some of our staff had the opportunity on Tuesday to see American Idol alum and 7x Broadway leading man Justin Guarini give a compelling talk on what it talks to succeed and the lessons he’s learned to be able to show up as the most powerful version of himself. We are excited to be able to implement the lessons he shared into our work!

What is one way you have learned to show up authentically and be a good leader?

After Courtney (name changed for privacy) left her abusive husband, she felt broken, angry, and scared. After some time passed, she thought she was healed, but she and her son started therapy with Safe+Sound, she realized she had more healing to do. Therapy helped her and her son to find their voices again. They were able to begin sharing their stories to help empower others and help them realize they weren’t alone and they are BELIEVED.

Choosing peace is a choice—and it’s one only you can make. 🌿💛
In the middle of chaos, stress, or endless demands, you can pause, set boundaries, and protect your energy. You can choose calm over chaos, rest over exhaustion, and clarity over overwhelm.

Peace is a gift you give yourself—because you are worth it. Every “no” you speak, every moment you slow down, every breath you take for yourself is a way of saying: I matter. I deserve this. I am enough. ✨

When you choose peace, you reclaim your power, your time, and your life. The gift is yours—take it.

“Over three years ago, I was at the lowest point in my life. I was terrified, emotionally exhausted, and unsure of what tomorrow would bring.
And then, like a lifeline thrown to someone drowning, I found Safe + Sound Somerset. They showed up for me when the rest of the world felt silent.
Safe + Sound Somerset helped me find my voice again and heal decades of trauma – they believed me.”
- Jessica Fernandez

Your body remembers what your mind tries to forget. 💛
That racing heart, tight throat, restless energy, or tiredness—they’re all messages asking for your attention.
Self-care isn’t just the big gestures; it’s noticing the little things, pausing instead of powering through, and asking: What do I need right now? What can I do to protect my peace?

When you start listening to your body, you start healing. You start setting boundaries. You start showing yourself that you matter. ✨

Every pause, every breath, every moment of awareness is a gift to yourself. You are worth it—always.

If you want to explore more about listening to your body, healing, and reclaiming your life, these books are insightful and you can listen to them on audio while you are walking, cleaning, or driving:
