Parenting is beautiful AND exhausting. Remember that you don’t have to do it all to be enough. Give yourself the same grace you’d give your child.

It’s especially easy to take things to heart when we care deeply about something or doubt ourselves. But it's important to remember that not everything is about us. Often, people’s reactions reflect their own stress, stories, or struggles. So when you feel triggered, pause and ask yourself “Is this really about me, or could something else be going on?”
Know that you don’t have to carry the weight of everyone else’s mood, and if you feel you need support in setting boundaries or building self trust, therapy can help.

Some days, it can feel like our kids were born to fight, and the bickering, power struggles, and emotional outbursts can wear down even the most patient parent. But what if we approached those squabbles as opportunities to teach lifelong skills like empathy, negotiation, and true reconciliation?

Knowing when to step in, and when not to, is a great start. Sometimes all it takes is asking if your child wants help, or if can they work it out on their own.
And when you do need to step in, take a breath and stay calm. Skip the blame, and lead with questions that invite invite cooperation. The goal is to empower both dominant and quieter kids to find their own voices and
learn conflict skills. It’s never too late to help your children become peacemakers, even if they’re teens. Start building bridges instead of just silencing battles.

The meaning of Jellyfish symbolizes the power of flowing with life. In the deep dark parts of the ocean, Jellyfish drift along, carried by water currents without resistance. This effortless flow & existence embodies the idea that YOU can move through life without needing to control every aspect. Practice trusting in the process, allow yourself to flow with the natural rhythms of life rather than resisting them. Sometimes when it seems life is too much to control… remind yourself that there is only so much that you can. Be like a Jellyfish. Be open to where life takes you, accepting that sometimes, surrendering to the current can lead us exactly where we need to be.🪼

Emotions can feel overwhelming, and sometimes like they’ll last forever. But the truth is, feelings are temporary, even the most intense ones. Various emotional states like anxiety, sadness, anger, and loneliness will rise, peak, and eventually pass. What you may be feeling is always valid, but it’s not forever, and there are things you can practice to help yourself:

- Notice the feeling without judgment
- Remind yourself it will pass
- Ground yourself with deep breathing or movement
- Reach out if you need support.

You don’t have to ride it out alone.
Remember, emotions are messengers, not permanent states. You are not your feelings, you are the awareness behind them.

Struggling to stay focused? You’re not alone. In a world filled with distractions, maintaining attention can feel impossible. But focus isn’t about perfection, it’s about gently returning your mind when it wanders. Focus is a practice, not a personality trait.
It can be strengthened with intention, mindfulness, and self-compassion.
Try breaking big tasks into smaller steps, taking mindful breaks, limiting multitasking and practicing grounding techniques to return to the present.

From finding identity and direction to building relationships, young adulthood (ages 18-29) has always come with its challenges. But today’s young adults are also navigating rising living costs, uncertainty in the job market, and rapid technological change. And without any guidance, the stress of “adulting” can lead to anxiety, depression, and unhealthy coping strategies. But young adults CAN build confidence, develop healthy coping skills, and navigate the path to independence with greater ease and resilience with the right support... from family, friends or a qualified therapist.
