🦃 Help Us Feed 50 Families This Thanksgiving! 🧡

This Thanksgiving, ACT Wellness Institute is sponsoring a local food pantry in Mississippi and providing 50 turkeys to families in need! With grocery prices continuing to rise and millions of families experiencing food insecurity, we want to do our part to make Thanksgiving a little easier.

We’re asking for donations of side dishes, including potatoes, vegetables, stuffing, macaroni and cheese, and desserts, to help families enjoy a complete Thanksgiving meal.

❤️ Please consider donating! Every contribution makes a difference, and together we can help families enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner.

Thank you for helping us give back to our community!

🌻 Permission to Live Now

I think somewhere along the way, many of us started believing we had to earn joy.

After the promotion. After the healing. After the weight loss. After the bills are paid. After life finally settles down. But what if we stopped waiting?

Today reminded me that life isn’t only found in the big milestones. It’s also found in quiet moments… walking through a sunflower field, feeling the sun on your face, laughing with people you love, and allowing yourself to simply be present.

Don’t postpone your life waiting for everything to be perfect. There will always be another responsibility tomorrow. Today, give yourself permission to live. 🌻🤍

What’s one small thing you’ll do this week simply because it brings you joy?

🌊 Sunday Reset

The ocean doesn’t fight every wave, it allows them to come and go.

This week, give yourself permission to stop carrying what was never yours to control.

You don’t have to have all the answers.
You don’t have to fix everyone.
You don’t have to force what’s meant to unfold in its own time.

Instead, focus on what is within your control:
✨ Your thoughts.
✨ Your choices.
✨ Your values.
✨ Your next right step.

Healing isn’t about having a life without storms. It’s about learning to remain grounded when they arrive.

Take a deep breath.
Release what no longer serves you.
Reset for the week ahead.

What is one thing you’re choosing to let go of before Monday?

07/19/2026

Some weeks I leave my reset feeling inspired. This week, I left feeling honest.

I’m learning that slowing down doesn’t always give me answers, but it almost always gives me perspective.

If you’ve been carrying more than you’ve let people see, I hope you find a little peace this week. 💛🌿

🧘🏾‍♀️ Wellness Workshops & Retreats: Restorative experiences that nurture the mind, body, and spirit.

🛡️ Trauma-Informed Care: Safe, culturally responsive services that honor each person’s unique journey.

Our mission is simple:
To empower individuals and communities through trauma-informed care, education, and wellness practices that promote healing, connection, and growth.

✨ NEW PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TRAINING FOR SCHOOLS & EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMS ✨

Challenging behaviors don’t happen in a vacuum and traditional discipline strategies often fail to address what’s happening beneath the surface.

ACT Wellness Institute is proud to offer:

This engaging, trauma-informed training helps educators move beyond behavior management and toward understanding, connection, and skill development.

Participants will learn how to:
✅ Understand behavior through today’s developmental and environmental lens
✅ Recognize the impact of stress, trauma, technology, and adversity on children
✅ Support emotional regulation through co-regulation and relationship-building
✅ Respond to challenging behaviors without shame, power struggles, or escalation
✅ Build classroom environments that promote safety, connection, and learning
✅ Implement the RESET Framework for practical, real-world behavior support

Perfect for:
📚 School Districts
🍎 Head Start Programs
🧸 Early Childhood Centers
👩🏾‍🏫 Teachers & Instructional Staff
🤝 School-Based Mental Health Teams
🏫 Administrators & Leadership Teams

This training is interactive, practical, and designed to provide strategies educators can implement immediately.
