New blog post!! 👇.

Happy National Girlfriends Day to the girlfriends who’ve seen me cry in the car, celebrate the weird wins, and send “just checking in” texts at exactly the right time—you are my lifeline. Having women in your corner who remind you who you are when you forget? That’s everything.

Smiling changes your brain chemistry. It tells your brain: 🧠 “You’re okay. You’ve got this.”. It doesn’t erase the hard stuff. But it does give you a little buffer between the stress and your reaction. And sometimes, that little bit is enough to change the tone of the whole day.

You won’t always feel resilient. But that doesn’t mean you’re not. Sometimes it shows up as:. 👉 Getting out of bed when you don’t want to. 👉 Sending the email you’ve been avoiding. 👉 Not quitting, even when no one’s watching. #MindfulMonday

Small acts can have a ripple effect. ✨

In a world obsessed with being available 24/7, boundaries often get mistaken for barriers. But they’re not. They’re the bridge to real connection, sustainable success, and, let’s be honest, sanity. Without boundaries, here’s what happens ⬇️.

You don’t have to show up at 100% to make a difference. Some days, 40% and a good attitude is heroic. Give what you can — and let that be enough. #MindfulMonday

Most people don’t burn out because they’re weak. They burn out because they’ve been strong for too long. Resilience isn’t built in the chaos. It’s built in the quiet choices you make every day. ✨ Build reserves before your bandwidth runs out. #MindfulMonday

Capability isn’t the issue. Capacity is. Boundaries save bandwidth. Boundaries aren’t barriers. They’re buffers that protect your energy.

“What brings me joy right now?”. And I don’t mean performative positivity or pretending everything’s fine. I mean the little, messy, delightful things that give you a dopamine boost. Joy isn’t a distraction from the work—it’s the fuel for it. 💛

It’s no secret: The world feels more divided than ever. Politics, policies, preferences—you name it, people are fighting about it. So, how do you stay grounded when you’re surrounded by conflict, polarization, and constant noise? .

You don’t need to be fearless. You just need to be willing. Willing to show up. Willing to try again. Willing to grow—one messy, brave step at a time. You’re not behind. You’re evolving. Keep going. 💪

Do you have a hurry habit? 🎥.

Take time to refuel this week. 1️⃣ Do something you enjoy. 2️⃣ Spend time with someone you care about. 3️⃣ Talk to yourself with compassion, not criticism. What one small thing will you do today to fuel yourself? . Let me know in the comments! 👇 #MindfulMonday

1 in 5 adults experiences a mental illness each year. 1 in 5 kids too. And yet, stigma still keeps too many people silent. 👉 I speak up for my son Evan. 👉 I speak up for my family. 👉 I speak up for the millions still afraid to say, “I’m struggling.”. Your story matters.

Human connection isn’t a "nice to have" — it’s a mental health strategy. Real conversations, real laughter, and real support are like vitamins for your brain. If you’re feeling stressed or isolated, reach out. Text a friend. Call someone you trust.

If you're feeling exhausted, you're not alone. It’s called change fatigue & it’s what happens when we’re expected to pivot and adapt. Here’s the good news! You don’t need to love change. You just need to build the muscle to handle it without burning out.

Movement is medicine — especially for your mind. 🧠🚶‍♀️. Join me in a simple walking challenge this week!. Exercise doesn’t have to be about "fitness goals." It's about moving stress out of your body and fueling your mind. Are you in? #MindfulMonday

🛑 ATTN: Leaders 🛑. You can’t promote mental health if you’re modeling burnout. ➡️ Take your PTO. ➡️ Disconnect after hours. ➡️ Talk about your purpose. ➡️ Share resources. Mental health at work starts at the top — and leaders, your example matters more than your words.
