Grief is not linear. It does not come with a check list, nor does it present in easily definable stages for each person. Grief is messy. It is painful. It is unpredictable.

You do not have to experience grief and loss alone. If you need someone to sit with you in the dark, we have time for you!

We often talk to ourselves in ways we’d never speak to a friend. Next time you notice that inner critic, pause and ask, “What would I say to someone I care about?”
💬 Try replacing self-criticism with kindness—you’ll be amazed how it shifts your nervous system toward calm and connection.

Next time you feel tension in a conversation, try this small shift:
Instead of “Why did you do that?” → try “Help me understand what happened.”
Curiosity invites connection. Criticism shuts it down.
🪞 Choose curiosity today.

Next time a conflict starts, try focusing on connection first—not correction.
When people feel heard, they’re more open to understanding and change.
💛 Connection regulates. Correction educates.

When we name what we feel, our brain begins to regulate it.
💬 Try saying: “I feel overwhelmed,” “I’m noticing sadness,” or “This is anxiety.”
Naming emotions helps calm the nervous system and opens space for self-compassion.

Stress is a normal part of life, but how we respond makes a big difference. Try adding one of these small practices into your day and notice the shift. 🎶✍️

Good communication is the foundation of strong relationships. In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it is easy to adopt habits that don’t serve connection. Try swapping out those habits for healthier ones. Slow down and work to understand. 💬

Big changes often start with small steps.
Even 2 minutes of deep breathing, a quick stretch, or writing down one gratitude can shift your mood and support your mental health.
✨ Remember: progress is built one small step at a time.

✨☁️Thoughts come and go like clouds. You don’t have to believe every one. Practicing noticing your thoughts—without judgment—can bring freedom and calm. Another benefit of paying attention: the more you notice, the more you become aware of your own patterns, which can give you even more distance from them.

Rest is not a reward — it’s a need. 🛌✨
Taking breaks helps your mind and body recharge, so you can show up with more energy, focus, and resilience.
This week, schedule a moment of rest on purpose — even 5 minutes counts.
