I love every time I get the opportunity to be a part of the UNrattled podcast, it’s always such a great time and we really get deep with how to support our kiddos!

During stressful times, sometimes we have to mix our various obligations and stressors with our self-care! I’m finishing my final paper for the semester, but I’m taking advantage of the beautiful day so I actually enjoy the process instead of dreading it! This holiday season demands a lot from us, so make sure you take some time to do something that helps keep your cup filled, but doesn’t add to your stress!

At the end of November I attended the Alabama Counseling Association's annual conference in Birmingham, AL with Annsley Zimlich, M.S, ALC! I loved learning from other practitioners and enhancing my counseling skills/knowledge, but the greatest treat was seeing my students from The University of South Alabama Counselor education program present their research at the graduate poster session. It is an honor to be able to be a tiny part of these future counselors journey as they grow closer to graduation!

I am so excited that I was able to be a part of such an awesome conversation with the folks at Gulf Regional Early Childhood Services on their UNrattled podcast! We talked all about boundary setting, empathetic parenting, and how calm doesn't mean passive. This deep dive can be found here for a listen: https://www.unrattledpodcast.com/

If you ever want to feel not so alone in the journey that is parenting, I would invite you to check out UNrattled to hear relevant, vulnerable, and informative conversations about the topics that aren't always talked about.

I am thrilled to announce that I have completed the licensure process and have been approved by the board, so I am officially a Licensed Professional Counselor!

After graduating from the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at the University of South Alabama, I had to complete 3,000 supervised hours before I was eligible to apply for full licensure. Supervision is an incredibly important and wonderful part of the counselor journey, and I have could not asked for a better one than Sara Kennedy. I could not have done this without her, and I will forever be grateful for her knowledge, support, and patience.

I will have more updates to come regarding insurance, schedule, etc., but for now, thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout this journey. I am filled with gratitude and excitement for this new chapter.

Summer, for some, is fun in the sun and relaxing. For others, it can be a stressful and difficult time. Whatever summer looks like for you, taking time to attend to unmet needs is key to helping grow through the unpredictability of not just our summer weather, but of our lives.
