Such a great day of learning at the Missouri Su***de Prevention Network. Between learning somatic exercises to support myself and clients, healthy ways to conceptualize empathy and compassion, finding new ways to support veterans and learning about the CALM training, I feel like I am taking home so much great info I can use to support my people. Anddddd, I got to have lunch with Becky Moser Jeske as a total surprise!

I am currently reading, Us, by Terrence Real. He just shared, "We can change our responses. We can shift from being reactive individuals to being proactive teammates who in cooperation with our partner, intentionally shape the transaction between us... ...stopping for a brief moment and centering." "Urgency is your enemy and breath is your friend. Breath can change your heart rate and your thinking physiologically."

He is speaking on relational mindfulness. Imagine how healed your relationships would feel if you accepted the pause and chose connection.

"From reactivity to responsibility." Love it.

2025 has been an amazing whirlwind of a year. This has been the first year where I was exclusively in private practice and not working within another community agency/school. I have learned so much and I am fortunate for all of the lessons this year has taught me. Thank you to those that refer to my office! Thank you to those that have decided to navigate their personal work and growth with me. Thank you to my tribe of fellow therapists, friends, and family that have supported me through all of the ups and downs of being in solo private practice. Happy New Year!

The Blue Springs fun fest is in full swing! The office is still open on Sunday but parking *might* get tough if festival goers attempt to park in our lot. Consider coming a few minutes early to give yourself plenty of time and feel free to text me if you want to switch to virtual. Happy festival season!🍂🍁

Ever felt like your brain is in a never-ending scroll marathon of bad news? You're not alone! It turns out our brains might be wired for this "doom scrolling" habit.

If you're curious (and brave enough) to understand the neuroscience behind why we just can't look away, check out this New York Times article. Maybe it'll give us some answers... or at least a good laugh about our collective digital addiction!

Making decisions that align long-term goals and short-term rewards is challenging, but it can lead to better choices and richer lives.
