Do You Feel Like You Need a Personal Assistant?
If you have ever felt like you’re doing too much, you’ve got too much going on, or there just isn’t enough time in the day to complete all of the tasks on your to do list, then this blog post is for you. Recently, someone told me they feel that they need to hire a personal assistant.

Social Media Breaks
You may find yourself asking, “What does my social media use tell me about who I am and what I want out of life at this time?” While social media can be a source of joy and self improvement, it can also become a source of self judgment and comparison.
FALL-Back in Love With Yourself
The changing seasons offer us an objective timeline to reassess, reflect, admire, critique, reinvent, unlearn, and appreciate ourselves and our growth. The official start to fall begins on September 22nd, which allows for a little over a week to begin the process of checking-in with yourself. Emphasis on begin. Think of September 22nd as a reminder, rather than a deadline.

Managing Existential Climate Stress

988: Yay or Nay?
For the last two weeks, news of the updated 988 National Suicide Prevention Hotline number have been plastered all over the internet: posts with explanations for what the new hotline means for those in crisis, posts with celebratory language to mark a new era for mental health response, and posts that scrutinize the hotline’s capacity and confidentiality.
Therapy Alphabet Soup
One of the brilliant and tedious truths about living in the 21st century is having easy access to endless information. It can be relieving to type a set of symptoms or a question into Google and be met with options, explanations, and next steps.
