November 21 – International Survivors of Su***de Loss Day

Today holds space for those who have lost someone to su***de. There are no perfect words for this kind of grief, only the reminder that you are not alone in carrying it. Grief after su***de can be layered with questions, guilt, love, and longing. However your loss shows up today, it deserves compassion and gentleness. Please take extra care of yourself in whatever ways you can, through connection, rest, or quiet remembering ❤️

Before the rush of the holidays, take a deep breath. Remind yourself that you don’t need to show up perfectly, you just need to show up as yourself. ❤️

Transgender Awareness Month reminds us that transgender people are not a threat, they are human beings who, like all of us, need safety, respect, and compassion. Listening with openness instead of judgment can change how someone feels about the world, and about themselves. Check out the guide to being a trans ally and please lead with love ❤️

"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer’s day - or a fall afternoon - listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.” - John Lubbock

Today is World Kindness Day, a reminder that even the smallest gestures can ripple farther than we realize.

How might you show up with a little extra kindness? Toward others… and maybe toward yourself, too? ✌🏻

Transgender Awareness Month reminds us that kindness and respect is for everyone.

Kindness, using correct pronouns, and genuine curiosity about another person’s humanity cost nothing, yet they can profoundly reduce someone’s sense of isolation. Please lead with kindness and respect - Thank you ❤️

Weekday Check-In
Take a moment today to check in with your body - shoulders, jaw, breath. These quiet signals often tell us what our minds try to ignore. Listening inward is an act of care.

November 6 – International Stress Awareness Day

Stress is part of being human but when it lingers, it can quietly take a toll on our mood, focus, and health. The goal isn’t to eliminate stress entirely, but to care for yourself through it.

Here are a few small ways to help your system reset:

Step outside and notice your surroundings for a few minutes.
Slow your breathing, inhale for 4 counts, exhale for 6.
Stretch your neck and shoulders.
Take something off your to-do list (yes, really).

Even a few mindful minutes can make a real difference ;)

Transgender Awareness Month reminds us that mental health care is for everyone. Transgender and gender-diverse individuals often face higher levels of stress, anxiety, and depression, not because of who they are, but because of how they are treated. Respect, understanding, and affirming spaces make a powerful difference. ❤️ Please lead with love.
