"Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are."

- Brené Brown in “The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are”

In a world where we face a constant barrage of ideas and expectations of who we should be, it can be daunting to find the courage to let and embrace our imperfections and more authentic selves. In this book, Brené Brown guides readers through 10 guideposts, each of which explore a tenet of wholehearted living, including topics such as vulnerability, self-acceptance, and connection.

As a practice that is deeply rooted in uplifting the voices of marginalized communities, it is important to highlight that July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month.

Even with improvements in access to mental health, finding culturally appropriate and affirming care still remains immensely challenging. BIPOC individuals are at a greater risk of not receiving care due to barriers such as insurance and costs, language barriers, and cultural stigmas.

At Amplify we want to highlight the importance of the need for culturally appropriate care, not just in July, but every day of the year.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for staying present, regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and communicating effectively. These tools support people navigating emotional dysregulation, PTSD, Borderline Personality Disorder, anxiety, and depression.

One of our therapists, Andy Checo, offers DBT both in-person at our Ypsilanti location and via telehealth. He is available for a free phone or video consultation to help you explore whether DBT is right for you.

In the past 250 years, this country still learning to live up to its promises. A country on land first cared for by Indigenous peoples. A country continually shaped by immigrants who build, create, and dream it forward.

We can still celebrate our communities, our heritages, and dreams that have made us such a beautifully diverse country today.

We hope everyone has a safe and happy Fourth of July! 🎇

Pride means showing up as your whole self without shrinking and celebrating identities that were once silenced. Pride is for everyone! Pride is for those who are out, those who are questioning, those who aren’t ready, and those still finding the words. It’s a celebration of authenticity, community, and the freedom to exist as you are. Whether you’re LGBTQ+ or an ally, your voice, your support, and your joy matter. Pride belongs to all of us. 🌈

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, established in 1949 by Mental Health America to increase awareness of mental health issues, celebrate recovery, and encourage access to care.

Mental health touches every aspect of our lives and is an essential part of caring for ourselves. It's ok to slow down and know when to ask for help.

It's also important to be there for others. Supporting others doesn’t require having the perfect words or fixing what they’re going through. It’s about presence, patience, and compassion.

This month, and every day, let's hold space for our mental health and remember it's ok not to always be ok.
