Today we honor and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. We also hold space for the invisible battles many veterans continue to fight long after service ends.

To the nurses, caregivers, families, and fellow veterans who show up every day with compassion and strength — thank you.

Memorial Day is not only about remembering loss, but about recognizing the lasting impact of service, sacrifice, grief, trauma, resilience, and healing. ❤️🤍💙

Last year, we ventured out to local women-owned businesses to show our gratitude for their support of Mental Health Awareness Month… and of course, we brought cookies. 💕🍪

Community matters. Supporting women-owned businesses matters. And reminding people they’re not alone in their mental health journey? That matters too.

Here’s to connection, collaboration, and a little sweetness along the way. The stuff at Kendra Scott were top notch!

Who rescued who?” 🐾💗

Sometimes the dog we save ends up saving us right back.
The quiet comfort. The unconditional love. The way they sit beside us on the hard days without needing words.

Happy National Rescue Dog Day to the pups healing hearts one paw at a time. Special shout out to our office dogs Bagel, Frank and Ozzy!

🌻 Sunflowers turn toward the sun.
And honestly? We can learn a lot from them.

Even on cloudy days, they keep searching for light.
A reminder that growth doesn’t mean ignoring the hard stuff —
it means learning what helps you keep going.

For girls, moms, and anyone in a hard season:
turn toward the people, places, and habits that help you feel more like yourself. ☀️

Mother’s Day is complicated.
For some, it’s beautiful.
For others, it carries grief, distance, anger, longing, guilt, infertility, loss, or relationships that never felt safe.

And sometimes… it’s all of those things at once.

No matter what you’re feeling today — know that you are not alone.
There is no “right” way to move through this day.

A mother’s job is never done…” — and apparently *NSYNC predicted motherhood exhaustion years ago. 💅😂

Happy Mother’s Day to everyone out here emotionally supporting humans, dogs, cats, group chats, coworkers, and entire family systems.

Special love to the official Dog Moms today 🐶
and of course our Cat Moms too 🐱🩷

Courage Camp ☀️💖

At Austin Therapy for Girls, we love Brené Brown’s definition of courage:
“to tell the story of who you are with your whole heart.”

And honestly? That’s what this camp is all about.

Our Courage Camp for rising 4th & 5th grade girls helps girls:
✨ build confidence
✨ navigate friendships
✨ manage anxiety & big feelings
✨ practice using their voice
✨ feel less alone
✨ walk into the school year feeling stronger

Because courage for girls this age isn’t about being fearless.
It’s raising your hand when you feel nervous.
Trying again after feeling left out.
Setting boundaries.
Being yourself even when it feels hard.

Think pink couches, creative activities, coping skills, laughter, and real conversations that help girls grow from the inside out. 💖

April is hard… but May?
May is loud.

We call it Maycember—and it’s one of the most overwhelming times of year for girls.

What looks like attitude or shutdown is often something deeper:
shame.

“I’m not enough.”
“I’m falling behind.”

If you’re seeing this in your daughter right now, you’re not alone—and she’s not broken.

We wrote a blog breaking it all down (and what actually helps)

Summer is where girls grow differently ✨
No school pressure. No social overload. Just space to figure out who they are—before the noise gets loud again.

Our summer programs are designed for tween & teen girls to build confidence, navigate friendships, and actually feel better in their own skin.

Spots are limited (and they will fill).

Get your iced latte and take a seat—this hour might just change how you see your daughter.

We keep coming back to these conversations—day after day, on our pink couches. And there’s a reason for that.

Because building shame resilience isn’t a one-time talk. It’s something we practice, gently and consistently, in the small, everyday moments.

She’s not “angry all the time.”
She’s moving against.

When our girls feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or out of control, they don’t always move toward us for comfort… they push away. They challenge. They snap. They shut down.

It’s not defiance—it’s protection.

And instead of fixing, we stay.
Instead of shutting it down, we lean in.
Instead of taking it personally, we get curious.

Because shame loses its power when it’s met with connection.

And those daily conversations on the pink couch?
They matter more than we think. 💗
