September is **Su***de Prevention Month**, and this year I’m putting some miles behind the message. 💜🩵

I’m committing to **30 Miles for Mental Health:
30 days. 30 miles. 1 mile a day.** 🏃🏾‍♀️

And I’m challenging YOU to join me!

You don’t have to be a runner. **Walk it. Jog it. Run it. Treadmill it.** Take your kids, grab a friend, walk your dog, just commit to intentionally moving your body for **one mile every day in September.**

Throughout the month, I’ll be sharing mental health education, discussing the connection between physical activity and emotional wellness, talking about su***de prevention, and reminding us that caring for our mental health deserves to be part of our everyday lives.

📸 **Share your miles and tag me!** I want to see you getting those 30 miles in.

Because this challenge is about more than exercise.

**Every mile matters.
Every conversation matters.
Every life matters. 💜🩵**

Are you joining me? Comment **“I’M IN!”** below. 👇🏾



If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health or su***de crisis, **call or text 988** to reach the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

Sometimes the child who **“never caused any problems”** was actually the child who learned not to have needs. 💭

They were easy.
Independent.
Mature for their age.
Helpful.
Quiet.
Never wanted to disappoint anyone.

But that “good kid” may grow into an adult who…

✨ People-pleases to avoid disappointing others
✨ Feels guilty for saying **no**
✨ Over-explains their decisions
✨ Struggles to ask for help
✨ Avoids conflict at all costs
✨ Takes responsibility for everyone’s emotions
✨ Ignores their own needs to keep the peace
✨ Feels anxious when someone is upset with them
✨ Believes being needed is the same as being loved

Sometimes being the child who **“didn’t cause problems”** meant learning how to make yourself small enough that your needs didn’t become a problem for anyone else.

Healing can look like learning that you’re allowed to have needs, boundaries, opinions, emotions, and a voice—even when someone else doesn’t like it. 🤎

If you’re ready to explore the childhood patterns that may still be showing up in your adult life, therapy can help.
