I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how much Nurturing Roots has changed since I first started it.

It really did start with just me and my therapy practice. But even then, I knew I didn’t want it to stay that way. I had this little vision of creating a space where different practitioners could work alongside each other, bring their own strengths and perspectives, and support people in different ways.

I don’t think I fully knew what that would look like at the time. And honestly, I’m still figuring it out.

There’s something really special about building something you care deeply about, but there’s also the very real side of trying to build it while being a mom, a partner, a business owner, and just a human being with a life outside of work.

Some days I feel really proud of what we’re creating. Other days I’m answering emails with a toddler asking me for a snack, wondering how I’m going to get everything done.

There have been lots of little pivots, ideas that didn’t quite work, unexpected changes, and plenty of moments where I’ve had to remind myself that it doesn’t all have to happen at once.

But when I step back and look at what Nurturing Roots has become, I feel really grateful.

Grateful for the practitioners who have joined me.

Grateful for the people who trust us with pieces of their stories.

And grateful that something that started as a little idea has slowly become something much bigger than I imagined.

I think that’s probably what I love most about it.

It’s growing.

And I’m growing alongside it.

So this is a little peek behind Nurturing Roots. Not just what we do, but a little bit of the heart behind why it exists 🤍

What if nervous-system awareness wasn’t something you only practiced when you were already overwhelmed?

What if it became a small relationship with yourself throughout the day?

Noticing your jaw.
Your shoulders.
Your pace.
Your energy.
Your desire for connection or space.

These tiny moments of awareness can become incredibly valuable information.

You don’t have to wait until your body is screaming to listen.

Sometimes it starts with simply asking:
“How am I, really?”

I think one of the hardest parts of people-pleasing is that eventually, you can become really disconnected from your own needs.

You’re so used to noticing everyone else’s feelings, preferences, and expectations that checking in with yourself can feel surprisingly unfamiliar.

So maybe the next step isn’t a huge boundary.

Maybe it’s simply pausing long enough to ask:

“What do I need?”

And giving yourself permission to actually listen to the answer. 🤍

Things I’m unlearning as a therapist. 🤍

The longer I do this work, the more I realize that being a therapist doesn’t mean I’ve figured everything out.

If anything, this work has taught me how much there is to keep learning.

About people.
About the nervous system.
About healing.
About boundaries.
About rest.
And about myself.

I’m learning that I don’t need to be productive every minute of the day.

That rest doesn’t have to be earned.

That I can be human and still be professional.

That I don’t need to have all the answers to be helpful.

That coping doesn’t always mean calming down.

And that taking care of myself isn’t separate from the work I do.
It’s part of it.

I’m still learning how to live these things, too. And honestly, I think that’s okay. Maybe we don’t need to have everything figured out before we give ourselves permission to be where we are.

A little Friday reminder before the long weekend. 🤍

Maybe you don’t need to make the most of every minute.
Maybe you don’t need to catch up on everything you’ve been putting off.
Maybe you don’t need to be productive enough to “deserve” rest.
And maybe rest for you doesn’t look like lying on the couch all weekend either.

It might be getting outside.
Moving your body.
Having coffee with someone you love.
Reading.
Laughing.
Taking your kids somewhere fun.
Having a quiet morning.
Or honestly...doing absolutely nothing for a little while.

One of the things I talk about often in my work is learning to notice what your nervous system actually needs rather than automatically reaching for the thing we’re “supposed” to do. Because there isn’t one regulation strategy that works for everyone, every time.

Sometimes we need to settle.
Sometimes we need to move.
Sometimes we need connection.
Sometimes we need space.
And sometimes we just need permission to stop trying so hard.

So as you head into the long weekend, maybe ask yourself:

What would actually feel supportive for me right now?

Not what you should do.
Not what everyone else is doing.
Just...what do I need?

And maybe that’s enough. 🌿

Wishing you a gentle long weekend.

Summer is slowly coming to an end. The days are getting shorter, mornings are cooler, and routines are settling back in. Kids are heading back to school, work schedules are shifting, and suddenly there are calendars, lunches, activities, appointments and all the things again.

And honestly...I have mixed feelings about it.

Part of me loves the slower, spontaneous rhythm of summer. The later nights, being outside, having nowhere to be.

And another part of me is so ready for routine. Give me cozy weather, a warm drink, a blanket, candles and pumpkin everything and I am VERY happy. 🎃☕🍁

But September can also bring a lot of transition.

You might find yourself thinking...

Did we do enough?
Where did the time go?
I’m not ready for things to change.
I actually feel relieved things are getting back to normal.

There isn’t one “right” way to feel. Sometimes, underneath all the mental chatter, our bodies are simply responding to change.

So rather than forcing yourself into a September “reset” or trying to become more productive, what if you allowed yourself to transition gently?

🍂 Create a little more structure while leaving room for rest.
☕ Slow down your mornings.
🚶‍♀️ Get outside and notice the changing season.
🧘‍♀️ Choose movement that feels supportive.
🤍 Ask yourself, “What do I actually need right now?”

And maybe most importantly, let go of the pressure to have “made the most” of summer.

You don’t have to squeeze in one last adventure. You don’t have to come into September as a better version of yourself.

You can simply notice where you are, honour what you need, and move into this season at your own pace. Because just like the seasons change, we change too.

Sometimes healing looks less like pushing forward and more like learning to listen.

What is this season asking of you? 🍁🤍

One of my favourite shifts in nervous-system-informed care is moving away from:

“What coping skill should I use?”

and toward:

“What does my system need right now?”

Because the same strategy won’t necessarily feel supportive in every state.

Sometimes you need quiet.
Sometimes you need movement.
Sometimes you need another person.
Sometimes you need a boundary.

Learning to notice the difference is a skill in itself.

Start simple.

Settle. Activate. Connect. Create space.

Which one do you think you need most often?

If your idea of regulation has become synonymous with “feeling calm,” this one is worth saving.

Regulation isn’t about eliminating difficult emotions.

Life will still be life.
You’ll still have hard conversations.
You’ll still get frustrated.
You’ll still feel grief, anger, disappointment and fear.

The difference is having more capacity to remain connected to yourself while those experiences happen.

Sometimes the most regulated thing you can do isn’t to make yourself feel better.

It’s to say: “This is hard. And I’m staying with myself through it.”

That is a very different kind of self-care. 🤍

You’ve tried the breathing.
