If your body feels out of balance, it may be responding to stress.

When stress lingers, it keeps the nervous system on high alert, often showing up as tension, digestion changes, sleep trouble, or low energy.

Remember: listening to your body is an act of self-care!

If you’ve ever tried to make an appointment online or over the phone, you know the struggle is real. Trying to understand things you’re unfamiliar with, and worrying that you might miss something important.

That’s why accessibility in s*xual health matters so much. Providing information in braille, audio, and screen-reader-friendly formats helps people understand their options clearly.

Everyone deserves understandable s*xual health resources so that they can make informed decisions about their bodies and well-being.

While planning your goals for 2026, have you considered engaging in habits that support the health of both your mind and body?

It could be journaling, yoga, spending more time outside than on a screen, reconnecting with old friends, or even drinking more water!

What’s one change you can make to better support yourself?

As we move throughout 2026, remember you don’t have to rush into becoming better overnight.

Mental wellness looks like being patient with yourself, established necessary boundaries, and choosing what helps you feel steady and calm in your life.

Happy New Year's Eve!

Cheers to the new year, and for everything that you have accomplished in 2026, whether it's learning a new skill, building your confidence, or completing a major project.

Goodbye 2025, and hello 2026!!

You don’t need a “new you” this year.

The version of you standing here now is shaped by effort, mistakes, and trying when it wasn’t easy.

When shaping your New Year resolutions and goals for the upcoming year, set intentions you can return to, not standards you have to punish yourself to meet.

If you didn’t accomplish everything you hoped for this year, you didn’t fail. Life doesn’t move in straight lines, and g...

If you didn’t accomplish everything you hoped for this year, you didn’t fail.

Life doesn’t move in straight lines, and growth doesn’t always look the way we expect.

Some lessons take time, some goals take longer, and some progress happens quietly. You showed up, you learned, and you kept going.

That counts for more than you think, so pat yourself on the back for 2025!

New Year’s kisses don’t have to be a thing if you’re not ready. 💛

Waiting, whether it’s for a kiss, a relationship, or any big step, is totally okay.

Your boundaries matter, and choosing what feels right for you is something to celebrate.

The best start to the year? Respecting yourself and your choices.

The days leading up to New Year's are exciting, but remember to take care of yourself. Celebrate in ways that feel safe and check in with your friends.

You don’t need to do everything just because others are. It’s okay to step back, rest, or enjoy the night your way.

Here’s to a safe, joyful, and gentle start to the year ahead!

It’s easy to think we need to move to “fix” ourselves or check a box, but movement isn’t meant to be a chore.

Move in ways that lift your mood, ease tension, or just make you feel good.

Even five minutes of stretching, a short walk, or dancing to your favorite song counts!!
