Yesterday was special 💚. I had the opportunity to speak with the team during Mental Health Awareness Month about The Cost of Holding It Together and the reality that so many of us are carrying invisible weight while still showing up every day. As not only a licensed psychotherapist, but a mother, high achieving professional, nurturer, go-to friend, founder & more … I understand the importance of conversations like these.
We had honest conversations around burnout, the hidden cost of always being the “strong one,” mental fitness, access to care, reducing stigma, understanding the impact of emotional suppression and finding support that truly fits. More importantly, we talked about the fact that wellness is not just about surviving… it’s about creating space to actually be well. 
Thank you to the entire Gas South team for trusting me and with this conversation, for your engagement, your vulnerability, and for creating space where mental health matters.
I also want to sincerely thank your team for supporting our mission through your contribution to SB Wellness Foundation. Partnerships like this help us continue expanding access to mental health care, wellness and youth programming, and healing spaces within our communities.
Grateful for opportunities where purpose, impact, and community meet. 🤍🙏🏾
