Change rarely stays contained to the one thing that’s changing

It can shift your mornings, your weekends, your relationships, your energy, even the little things you never really thought about before

If you’re feeling that right now, we’re right here with you in it all
So instead of immediately trying to build the perfect new routine, maybe the question is simply:

What can stay familiar right now?

Sometimes it’s nice to have a few parts of your day that don’t require you to figure anything out

10/26/2026

There’s something about being in a transition that can suddenly make knowing the plan feel VERY important.

A new job, a move, a breakup, becoming a parent, a change in your family … even those exciting or “good” changes can make everyday life feel a little unfamiliar for a while.

So it makes sense if the little predictable things can matter more than usual.

You might cling to your morning walk, make the same breakfast, and stick to your comfortable Friday night takeout. It’s nothing groundbreaking, just a few things you know what to expect from while everything else starts to find its place.

And that’s ok too.

If you’ve ever asked a child what’s wrong only to get an “I don’t know” while every other part of them is making it VERY clear that something is wrong... Kristin gets it.

One of the things that first drew Kristin to working with children was learning to look at behavior a little differently.

Because kids don’t always sit us down and explain that they’re anxious about something that happened at school or that a change at home has been harder than they expected. Sometimes we see it in the meltdown that feels like it came out of nowhere, the sudden need for more reassurance, or a reaction that seems much bigger than whatever just happened.

Kristin’s work starts with getting curious about what’s underneath.
As a Registered Play Therapist™, she gives children another way to communicate through something that already comes naturally to them: play. There’s room to imagine, move, laugh, experiment, mess something up and try again without having to come up with the perfect explanation for how they’re feeling.

And parents are part of this work too. Kristin knows how hard it can be to love your child deeply and still have moments where you genuinely have no idea what they need from you. She works alongside caregivers to make sense of what they’re seeing and find approaches that feel realistic for their actual family.

Warm, curious and genuinely delighted by the little humans she gets to know, Kristin brings such a special perspective to our team.
And because we’ve been talking about our younger selves this week, we’ll leave you with one of Kristin’s favorite questions:

What did you do as a child that made the hours pass like minutes?

10/21/2026

Understanding where something came from doesn’t mean you have to keep doing it forever

But it can make it a little easier to meet that part of yourself with curiosity instead of immediately wishing it away

Sometimes little you wasn’t being too much at all, they were figuring out how to move through the world with what they knew at the time

10/19/2026

Remembering what you spent hours doing as a kid can give you so much insight into that feeling of joy or fun without the pressure.

Sure, we can’t exactly turn away all responsibility to just have fun all the time but there’s something about recalling what it feels like to turn toward something simply because you love it.

That little version of you might still have something interesting to say about what makes you curious, what feels energizing, or what helps you forget to check the time.

What did you absolutely LOVE doing as a kid?

10/16/2026

You can have people you love, people who care about you, and a life that looks pretty full from the outside… and still feel like there are parts of yourself you don’t really know how to share.

Maybe you’re the person who listens more than you talk.

Maybe you’re good at keeping things light, even when something is bothering you.

Maybe you want to feel closer to people, but when the opportunity is actually there, you find yourself holding back.

That’s one of the things Meredith understands so well.

Meredith works with people who may be used to being thoughtful, responsible, and self-critical, but who are also feeling stuck in patterns that make it harder to feel connected to themselves and others. Her approach is practical and relational, with room to explore not just what you’re experiencing, but how you might begin doing things differently.

And that doesn’t have to mean becoming a completely different person.

Sometimes it’s about getting curious about the ways you’ve learned to protect yourself, what those patterns have helped you with, and whether they’re still giving you the kind of life and relationships you want.

We’re so glad Meredith is part of The Flourishing Way team.

We’ve all had that moment where it feels like you committed to one too many plans

Sometimes, those plans may actually contain something you’re really needing after a busy week or some time to yourself

Think: connection, quality time, someone to see you, a smile

And sometimes, your intuition might be nudging you to say no because you really need a more restorative recharge and a cozy night at home without obligations

The question in these moments doesn’t have to be about whether or not you “should” go, but what you really need in that moment.

10/12/2026

There’s a very specific kind of regret that happens when you make plans with people you genuinely like and then, when the day arrives, realize you have to actually leave your house…

Especially this time of year, when the weekends start filling up with fall things, birthdays, dinners, holiday prep, and all the plans that sounded really fun when you put them on the calendar.

Sometimes staying home is exactly what you need. But sometimes you’re sitting there thinking, “I know I’ll probably have a good time. I just really don’t feel like doing the whole getting-ready-and-going part.”

And that’s where it can be interesting to get to know yourself a little better.

Are there certain plans you almost always enjoy once you’re there?

Certain people you leave feeling more connected to?

Times when you’re genuinely too tired, versus times when the anticipation is harder than the actual thing?

You don’t have to make the “right” choice every tim, but noticing those little patterns can make it easier to figure out what you actually want, instead of automatically saying yes to everything or talking yourself out of everything.

10/07/2026

The fall can get packaged up as this big return to routines, but sometimes October can be that point where things still feel very transitional

No one really talks about the fact that getting into a routine and actually figuring out whether that routine works for you are two completely different things.

The first few weeks can be mostly logistics.

What time do we have to leave?

Who is doing pickup?

When am I fitting this in?

Why did I somehow agree to something every single Tuesday night?

And then you get into October and have enough information to actually look around a little.

Maybe some things are starting to click.

Maybe other parts still feel way harder than you expected.
Maybe you’ve realized the schedule technically works, but only because you’re the one remembering, planning and adjusting everything behind the scenes.

You don’t have to overhaul your life because September felt hectic. But this can be a good point in the season to notice what you’d actually like to keep, what might need some tweaking, and what you’re ready to stop assuming you just need to “get used to.”

Here’s where we can get curious: what part of your fall routine is actually working really well right now?
