💚 Check out our Executive Director’s annual Recovery Month blog! While September has ended, we know that for those living recovery, it’s not confined to one month - it’s a day-to-day (and sometimes moment-to-moment) journey.

This year’s theme was Recovery is REAL: Restoring Every Aspect of Life, and we’re honored to share the voices of women reflecting on what has been restored through their recovery process.

Read their inspiring stories on our blog (link in bio)!

Welcome to the final installment of our Self-Compassion Practice of the Week miniseries!

We’re wrapping up our series with Restorative Writing - using words as a gentle way to process emotions, acknowledge your pain, and offer yourself understanding.

Writing can become a safe space to remind yourself: I am human, I am learning, and I am worthy of compassion 💗

Welcome to the third installment of our Self-Compassion Practice of the Week miniseries!

This week’s practice: Soothing the Nervous System. When stress or overwhelm takes over, your body often knows it before your mind does.

One way to bring yourself back to calm is by soothing your nervous system with gentle touch and mindful breathing.

It’s simple, grounding, and something you can return to anytime you need steadiness💗
