This was a year many of us agree – we’d love to put behind us. As a reflection, however, it may be a year that helps us live much more fulfilling lives moving forward.It’s a year that reminded me so much of that stretch in my life, when mental health took its cumulative toll, & …

I’ve heard the build up of stress & trauma in our system described w so many diff analogies. When my psychologist Donna first heard my story, she said it was like I had: a front row seat to a muddy wrestling match, & every move made by the ppl I cared abt, to fight & …
12/29/2020: That Invisible Backpack We’re All Carrying Around Read More »
I find myself thinking abt this question a lot, recently. We’ve been working w schools to provide tools like our emotions scale, to help kids simply put common words to what they’re feeling – usually arising from specific events they’re living thru. THIS is where we’re still at in 2020 – needing a way to …

Saw this for first time yesterday & just screamed out – “YES, THIS!” for so many reasons.First consider the all the different hearts behind the story. We have a 5-yr-old, feeling so awful for homeless kids who can’t celebrate Christmas w toys the way he knows he & his friends will be able to. So, …
It’s Christmas Day…wishing all who celebrate a merry one…but I know for many, this is a difficult time of year.We long for loved ones no longer with us, we miss those living across the country or even world, & this year especially, we may feel further than ever due to that distance. Our feelings (of which …

They aren’t just “entertaining.” They take our emotions for a ride, & we crave that.Been a rough couple of wks for me…I’m a pretty open book. MH has its ebbs & flows, & this most recent …

I’m hoping this post is a bit of a wake-up call. The more time I spend in this space, the more I see campaigns that’ve been arnd for so long…campaigns that don’t move the needle, or worse, further confuse the masses. We then need to create campaigns to EXPLAIN what was actually meant by the …
