Often people feel confused by the intense grief they feel when a fur baby dies.
The reality is, that intensity of grief is a reflection of a bond shared.. human or furry💔

Losing an animal companion changes more than your heart 💔. It literally changes so many parts of your everyday life. There may be things that you didn't even realise that would change up until now.

Your loved one/s have been part of your everyday world, they become woven into your routines, your decisions and the way your days naturally unfold.

You don't only miss them.

You notice all the little ways life feels different without them.

The supermarket feels different because you're no longer buying their favourite treats. Home feels different because the welcome you always came back to isn't there.

Weekends can feel off without walks, adventures or quiet time spent together.

You might find yourself looking at the clock differently because there's no medication to give, no dinner time to remember or no walk to plan.

Even reaching for your phone can feel different when there are no new photos to take or no funny moments to capture.

These everyday changes can catch you off guard because they're constant reminders that your life has changed.

I often heard pet loss grievers say something like.. "I don't know why something so small is making me me so emotional."

But are these moments small? These moments no matter how big or small represent so much.

Every routine, every habit and every ordinary part of your day held a piece of the relationship you share.

So if everyday life feels unfamiliar right now, please know that's a very real part of pet loss grief.

Go easy on yourself, you're not meant to have everything all figured out! Life looks different, life will feel different and there is no rush with any of this.

📌Save this for the days when those ordinary moments catch you by surprise.

🤗Share/Repost so others can be seen in their grief.

✨ Menopause is not a fad.
✨ Perimenopause is not “just a phase.”

For many women, this season is a profound biopsychosocial transition — impacting the body, the nervous system, identity, relationships, emotional regulation, energy levels, sleep, cognition, and overall sense of self.

So while some may say menopause is “having a moment,” those of us living through it know this is not about trends. It is about transformation.

Perimenopause and menopause often ask us to become deeply intentional. They invite us to slow down, listen inward, reevaluate boundaries, and notice how we have been caring for everyone else while sometimes abandoning ourselves in the process.

Clinically, we know hormonal shifts can influence mood, anxiety, sensory sensitivity, memory, fatigue, and stress tolerance. But beyond the science, there is also a very human experience happening underneath it all — grief, awakening, vulnerability, empowerment, exhaustion, clarity, and the longing to feel understood. 🤍

This transition does not happen in isolation. It affects our partnerships, parenting, friendships, work life, communication patterns, intimacy, and the way we show up in the world.

May you have people beside you who respond with curiosity instead of criticism.
May you have relationships where honesty about your experience is met with compassion, not dismissal. 🤍

And perhaps most importantly, may you learn to meet yourself with gentleness through the changes.

Because maybe perimenopause and menopause are not simply endings to endure…
Maybe they are invitations to return home to yourself. 🌿

To rediscover your voice.
To honor your limits.
To reconnect with your needs.
To ask yourself who and what truly belongs in this next chapter of your life.

And when you look around, may you find people willing to walk beside the most authentic version of you. ✨

Thank you Sass Magazine for the opportunity to continue to raise awareness and reach women so they understand (normalize) what is happening in midlife 💛😌

✨ Curious About Equine Therapy? ✨

Have you ever wondered what happens in an equine therapy session — and how it differs from traditional office-based therapy?

Equine-assisted therapy can be a powerful supplemental modality alongside approaches such as EMDR, somatic therapy, and nervous system-based work. 🧠🐴 Rather than relying primarily on language, equine work engages relational awareness, body-based processing, emotional regulation, and attunement.

Horses respond honestly and immediately to human nervous systems, emotional states, boundaries, and patterns of connection. Because of this, equine sessions can offer meaningful clinical insight into:
✨ Attachment patterns
✨ Emotional regulation
✨ Anxiety and overwhelm
✨ Boundary awareness
✨ Relational dynamics
✨ Presence and nervous system safety

🌿 Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) often feel especially drawn to horses because of the horse’s deep sensitivity to energy, emotion, and nonverbal communication. Horses can help HSPs better understand how they move through the world while fostering grounding, self-awareness, and regulation.

Join me for an experiential evening to learn more about equine-assisted therapy and how it may support your healing journey.

🐴 During the evening, you will have the opportunity to:
• Meet and interact with the herd
• Learn how equine therapy supports clinical work
• Ask questions in a relaxed environment
• Experience the calming and regulating presence horses can offer

There is something profoundly healing about being in the presence of an animal that meets you exactly where you are — without judgment, expectation, or words. Many people leave equine experiences with unexpected insight, greater clarity, and a deeper connection to themselves.

📍 Horses Healing Humans — 13014 Coppermine Road
Union Bridge 21791
📅 Friday, June 19
⏰ 6:00 PM
💲 Cost: $60

Space is limited. Reach out with questions or to reserve your spot. 🤍

Equine therapy is unique in that it taps into a part of you that does not need a lot of words🤍
There is a unique communication that happens between horse and human in equine sessions🐴
These beautiful 4 legged angels are also co- regulators and just being in their presence signals calm to the nervous system.
There is no riding involved and you can stand as close or as far as you feel comfortable😌
Curious? Connect with me .com and I welcome any opportunity to share this work with clients 🤎
There are a couple of equine sessions remaining in May and June ☀️

The temperature is rising … we are thawing … the sun is shining and we can feel our extremities again😅☀️
This means I am able to comfortably ramp up equine therapy sessions😴🐴😍
Partnering with Horses Healing Humans, I am giddy to get back to the farm and the herd and offer equine sessions …. An experience that builds on all the hard work being done in the office🧠♥️
If you have not been in the office and are curious about equine sessions… I love to talk about the benefits.. my own experience in my personal growth and how it will be part of your deepest growth and healing ❤️‍🩹

Looking forward to sharing this modality of therapy with you and witnessing the connection with the horses and the deep personal growth that comes with them as your therapy partner.

*** all partnering is done on the ground. No horse or riding experience needed!
