My to-do list for the week! All the things outside of therapizing. Ive already got a few things done, but I still have a few more to go.

Admin stuff can feel overwhelming, but these 2 small shifts have really made a big difference.

1 - I don’t see clients on Fridays! I am still working, but it’s usually me catching up on this list. It’s nice to know at the end of the week I have some set aside time to do these tasks so I don’t have to squeeze them all into my days when I am more focused on client care.

2 - obviously… making a list for the week saves me. It’s such a simple hack but it really is so helpful! Anything on the list for this week that doesn’t get done gets moved to the next week, or I will ask for help to complete it (shoutout body doubling for our adhd queens!!) OR just leave it off the next list cuz it might not have been that important anyways 😂 what is your favorite way to tackle a bunch of tasks?

Also - yes these 3 books are the perfect height for my iPad during telehealth sessions. Shoutout DSM for being a great ipad support 😂💁🏻‍♀️

Today is a special day for me and Mr. Sunstone - it’s our wedding anniversary!! I love taking a trip down memory lane. It was truly one of the best days ever!! Sharing a few of my fave pics from that day 🥰

It’s funny that my clients don’t ever get to meet or know my husband because he’s honestly a pretty integral part of Sunstone being a thing. I started my practice less than 90 days after we got married and he was in full support of me going full steam ahead on building my business. He helps keep me regulated & calm so I am steady for my clients. He takes good care of me so I can take care of others. He cooks dinner so my evenings are freed up to see folks after work. He helps with business decisions and tech problems and issues with insurance when that comes up. He’s also pretty mental health savvy (catch him in that Brene Brown documentary, IYKYK 😂) He has a heart of gold and is the wind beneath my wings. He’s the backbone of Sunstone and I just want him to get his flowers. I’m so grateful for him! 🩷

Add Website Fixer to the list of many hats I wear as a therapist in private practice 💁🏻‍♀️ sooo glad I finally got it working again!! Not without taking a few years off of my life though, that was stressful 😅😂

Now that my website is working again…. That got me a little inspired to revamp it so I’ll start working on that soon. Yall know how it is with ADHD brain - one thing leads to another around here 😂 I’ll keep yall posted. I love showing everyone little behind the scenes things of being a therapist!!

Happy International Women’s Day. Here’s to the strong badass women who fight every day for the little girls in all of us. Little you needs you now more than ever. She needs your courage, your advocacy, your brains, your strong will, your empathy, and most of all…. Your love. Be kind to the little one in all of you 🩷 she has fought battles for generations. She may be tired, weary, and angry. But she cannot give up. We refuse to give up.

And remember, it’s not CISterhood. It’s SISTERHOOD. If your feminism isn’t intersectional and inclusive, I don’t want it. We won’t stop until ALL of our sisters have the support, access, safety, and equity to thrive. Regardless if you were born a woman, became a woman, identify as a woman, or someone who just supports and loves women - we are honored to have you in our sisterhood 🏳️‍⚧️🩷
