✨It’s Here✨

Today is one of those days that feels hard to put into words. After years/months of writing, researching, editing, and pouring my heart into these pages, Guiding Light: Weekly Reflections for the Heart of the Sister Missionary is officially here!

There have been so many moments during this process where I wondered if I was capable of writing something that would truly make a difference. But every time I thought about setting it aside, I came back to the same reason: The Missionaries.

As a therapist, I have had the privilege of sitting with people in some of the hardest moments ts of their lives. Missionaries carry incredible faith, hope, responsibility, and love- but they also carry homesickness, loneliness, perfectionism, grief, stress, and the quiet emotional weight of serving every single day.

I wanted them to know they are not alone.

Guiding Light was written to be the companion I wish every sister missionary had. It blends evidence-based psychology, nervous system education, and gospel principles into 18 months of weekly reflections, helping missionaries navigate the emotional and spiritual realities of service with greater compassion for themselves and deeper trust in God.

Alongside the book, I also created the guiding Light Journal. Rather than simply reading the lessons, I wanted missionaries to have a place to process them, to slow down, reflect, write, pray and make meaning of their own experiences.

This project has become so much more than a book to me. It represents countless conversations with clients, years of clinical experience, my love for emotional healing, and my belief that caring for your own heart is never separate from serving God. I truly hope every missionary who opens these pages feels seen, understood, and reminded that their humanity was never something they needed to overcome to faithfully serve.

If this book helps even one missionary feel less alone, more grounded, or more connected to themselves, every late night rewrite will have been worth it!

Guiding Light and the Companion Journal are now both available in Amazon.

The digital editions are also available at www.serenity-wellness.com

Boston, you were good to me. 🤍

I just returned from the 37th Annual Boston International Trauma Conference, and I’m still processing all the beautiful, heavy, inspiring things I took in.

Learning about neurofeedback, and how somatic practices connect trauma in the body- it hits differently this time. A reminder that our bodies carry our stories long before our minds find the words.

As a therapist, moments like these refuel me. They remind me that there is always more to learn, more to give, and more healing possible for the people we serve.

I also want to brag that I spent the week with great minds like Dr. Bassel van der Kolk Dr. Richard Schwartz John and Julie Gotman and so many more! My heart is so full!

I’m already channeling everything I absorbed into the work I am creating for YOU. Stay close- something meaningful is coming!

Who else attended this year? I would love to connect 👇

The return isn’t a conclusion, it’s a threshold!

She young women come home, they often carry layers that don’t fit neatly into celebration or certainty. They bring with them a new awareness, unanswered questions, and grief for who they once were, and a tenderness about who they are becoming.

Some return grounded in faith, some return changed forever. Most return holding devotion and dissonance at the same time. That complexity deserves care, not correction.

As a therapist, I had worked with many girls who have returned home early with crippling anxiety, depression and even suicidal ideation. I have also worked with those who stay on their mission and come home with so many unanswered questions about the future and what is expected of them next. They are confused about what “coming home” should even look like, and are thrown into other’s expectations and they are not given a chance to find their OWN authentic self!

Healing doesn’t ask for anyone to choose sides. It asks for space. Space to integrate what was learned, space to honor what was lost, and most importantly, space to listen inwardly without fear.

Silence is often praised as faithfulness, strength, or maturity. But in therapy room, it often tells a different story.

I work with young women who learned early that discomfort meant they were failing, rather than recognizing it as a signal that support was missing.

When fear, grief, doubt, or overwhelm can’t be spoken out loud, the nervous system carries it instead.

That’s not resilience.
That’s survival.

Therapy isn’t about pulling beliefs apart or pushing conclusions. It’s about offering a place where truth isn’t punished, where complexity is allowed, and where a person can finally speak without needing to be “strong.”

Support doesn’t weaken faith.
It protects the human carrying it.

This page exists for support and listening. 🤍

As a therapist, I don’t approach faith either an agenda. I approach people with care. I work with young women who leave home early, devoted, capable, sincere, and often carrying more responsibility than their nervous systems were ever meant to hold alone.

This work isn’t about convincing anyone to stay or leave, and it isn’t about belief versus disbelief. It’s about support.

It’s about helping someone remain connected to themselves while they serve. Helping them name fear, grief, doubt, and exhaustion without shame. Helping them feel supported, not silenced.

There is room for faith, and there is room for questions. Most of all, there should always be room for humanity.

I have seen so many therapists lately on Instagram bashing the Mormon church. They are angry, and I understand that, but what about the people? As a therapist, our position should always be meeting people where they are at. Let’s start talking more about the support…

For a while now, I’ve been writing something that grew directly out of my work as a therapist, and out of the conversations I have every day with girls who are doing their best to carry a lot.

It has been shaped slowly and intentionally. With care, restraint, and with a deep respect for the inner lives of women who are strong, faithful, and often unsupported.

I’m not ready to say much yet, but I will soon!

For now, just know this:
What’s coming was written to offer steadiness, reflection, and gentle support for those who serve.

More to come 💛

In my work, I meet people who are capable, faithful, and doing their best, and who are also quietly exhausted.

Many have learned how to endure, but not how to be supported. How to show up, but not how to check in with themselves. How to carry responsibility, but not how to lay it down, even briefly.

This page isn’t about fixing anyone. I am a therapist, but this page is not intended for therapy. It’s about creating space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the parts of ourselves that often get set aside in the name of being strong.

You don’t have to be at your breaking point to deserve care. And there is ways to be supported where you are!

Hi, I’m Macy! I am a therapist, and I’m also a writer. Those two things have always belonged together for me.

I sit with people every day as they navigate faith, identity, grief, choice, and the quiet questions they don’t always have words for yet. I’ve learned that healing doesn’t usually come from being told what to do, it comes from space to reflect, feel, and reconnect with yourself.

Writing has always been another way I hold that space.
This page is where those worlds meet.
