You don’t need to squeeze joy from every last day of summer.
💛 Rest is productive. Quiet is valuable.
Late summer can be gentle if we let it be.

Feeling like you “should be doing more” before summer ends?
✨ Let’s shift the story:
You’ve done enough.
You are enough.
It’s okay to just be.

🧠 Scrolling through endless “”perfect”” summer moments on social media? It’s easy to fall into the comparison trap and feel like you’re the only one not living your best life. This pressure of “”everyone else seems so happy”” can really weigh on your mental health, especially if you’re already feeling a bit low. Remember, social media is a highlight reel, not the full picture. What you’re seeing is curated, and it’s okay if your reality looks and feels different. Protect your peace. 🛡️

🤫 Hot take: It’s okay for your kids to be BORED this summer! In fact, it’s more than okay – it’s healthy and necessary. In our rush to schedule and entertain, we can forget that boredom is where creativity sparks, problem-solving skills develop, and kids learn to connect with their inner worlds. So, next time you hear “”I’m boooored,”” try not to swoop in with a solution immediately. Give them space to figure it out. You might be surprised by what they come up with! As a wise person (or therapist!) might say: **””Your kids don’t need a perfect summer. They need presence, safety, and repair.””** And sometimes, presence means just letting them *be*. ✨

Justin Barrasso: Good Reasons for Bad Feelings: Insights from the frontier of Evolutionary Psychiatry by Randolph Nesse - An interesting exploration into our moods and feelings through an evolutionary lens that makes surprising sense.

Amanda Good: The Women, a novel by Kristin Hannah. It’s an engaging and emotional roller-coaster of a story which shines a light on female nurses who served in Vietnam, who were unsung heroes in a horrific war. It was an interesting read as an EMDR therapist, since EMDR treatment developed from work with traumatized Vietnam Veterans, and the story reveals the deep wounds that lasted long after the war ended.

Su Balasubramanian: How to Break Up with Your Phone: The 30-Day Plan to Take Back Your Life by Catherine Price. A practical and engaging guide to creating a healthier relationship with your smartphone. It’s accessible, non-judgmental, and offers a mix of science, humor, and doable steps. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by screen time or just want more focus and intention in your day, this is a great place to start.

Aaryn Kopp: White Teeth, by Zadie Smith. This one’s been on my list for a while and so glad I’m getting a chance to finally dig in. It’s so absorbing, the characters are so well drawn and original - I feel totally transported to 1970s London.

☀️ The arrival of summer often means shedding layers, and for many, that can bring up a whole mix of feelings. The shift to seasonal clothing and the increased visibility in pool and beach culture can unfortunately trigger body shame and comparisons. You’re not alone if thoughts about your body feel louder this time of year. Remember, these feelings are often rooted in societal pressures, not in reality. Your body is worthy of enjoying this season, exactly as it is. ❤️

💬 Let’s shift the conversation around our bodies this summer. Instead of chasing an unattainable “”summer body,”” try these reframing practices:

✨ **Body Neutrality:** Focus on what your body *can do* rather than how it looks. Appreciate its strength, resilience, and ability to experience the world.

🗣️ **Gentle Self-Talk:** Speak to yourself with the same kindness you’d offer a friend. Challenge those critical inner voices.

🤸‍♀️ **Movement for Joy:** Engage in activities you genuinely enjoy, for the way they make you feel, not to change your appearance.

Summer is about living and enjoying. Your body is your vessel for that!
