Boundaries are an act of self-respect.
They help protect our energy and support healthier relationships.

Feeling low in winter doesn’t automatically mean depression but it does deserve attention.

Common winter mood shifts:
• Lower energy
• More sleep
• Less motivation
• Increased isolation

If these changes begin to affect daily functioning, it may be time to seek support. Mental health care is preventative not a last resort.

🌟 Glimmer Friday

A glimmer can be as simple as being understood or understanding yourself a little better.
Clarity counts, even when it’s quiet.

What’s something you’re seeing more clearly right now? ✨

My heart is heavy for our mental health community.

A clinician in Florida was tragically murdered while doing her work—work rooted in safety, care, and healing. Even more heartbreaking, her client tried to save her and is now in critical condition.

Therapy spaces are meant to be places of refuge. What happened is a profound loss and a painful reminder of the risks clinicians sometimes carry quietly.

I want to honor this clinician’s life, her dedication to helping others, and the extraordinary courage of her client. May we hold them both in our thoughts, and may we continue to show up for this work with compassion, boundaries, and care for one another.

Warning the article is graphic..

The family of a mental-health counselor who was stabbed to death in Orange County is questioning whether there was proper security in the building where the stabbing took place.

🌿 Grounded and Growing

Winter has a way of turning everything inward — thoughts, emotions, energy.

If you feel slower, heavier, or more reflective right now, you’re not broken.
You’re responding to a season that invites rest and introspection.

Not every phase of life is about blooming.
Some seasons are about rooting deeper.

Honor where you are. 🌿

Your needs matter — even when you don’t have words for them.

React to this post with what you need most right now:

😢 = Understanding

Our emotions often connect us more than we realize.
Honoring what we feel can foster understanding and healing.

Struggling to start things doesn’t always mean a lack of motivation.

Often, it’s a lack of capacity.

Stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma drain energy before tasks even begin.
If something feels hard, try asking:
👉 “What support do I need?” instead of “Why can’t I just do this?”

That question alone can soften shame.

Progress doesn’t always feel productive.
Sometimes it looks like resting, pausing, or choosing not to push.

Where can you offer yourself a little more ease today? 🤍

🌿Grounded and Growing

You don’t need motivation to begin.
You need safety, clarity, and permission to start small.

Motivation often follows action not the other way around.
And action doesn’t have to be dramatic to be meaningful.

One small step.
One honest check-in.
One compassionate decision.

Progress grows from consistency, not pressure. 🌱
