📚📬 You’ve got book mail… maybe! 👀

A handful of randomly selected school counselors are about to receive a little surprise in their mailboxes!

I’m sending out complimentary copies of my children’s book, I Hold You in My Heart, a gentle story about grief, loss, and the love that stays with us. 💜

No contest. No application. Just a little unexpected book mail!

✨ Are YOU one of the lucky school counselors? 👀

Keep an eye on those mailboxes! 💌

🌿 Healthy boundaries aren’t about shutting people out. They’re about creating space for healthier relationships.

I’m so excited to share something new!

Boundaries as Fences is officially available in my new Etsy shop! 💚

As a therapist, I often talk about boundaries using the metaphor of fences. Some relationships feel safe with an open gate, while others may need more privacy, structure, or distance.

And just like fences, our boundaries can change as our relationships and needs evolve.

I created this 16-page, self-guided workbook to help you:

🌱 Explore your personal boundaries
🌱 Recognize relationship patterns
🌱 Practice communicating your needs
🌱 Reflect on guilt and people-pleasing
🌱 Take small steps toward healthier relationships

It’s filled with guided reflections, practical exercises, and beautiful watercolor illustrations.

✨ Available now as an instant digital download for $7.99!

🌈 A rainbow doesn’t erase the storm.

During Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month, I wanted to share a few books I love for families navigating loss, pregnancy after loss, and welcoming a rainbow baby.

One of the things I appreciate most about children’s books is their ability to give us language for conversations that can feel impossible to begin. These books can help children understand that a baby who died is still part of their family, that love and grief can exist together, and that welcoming another baby never means forgetting the one who came before. 🤍

I included a few of my favorites here — and one that is especially close to my heart: I Hold You in My Heart, the book I wrote to help children understand loss while giving parents support for those difficult conversations.

For families walking this road: there is room for the grief. There is room for the joy. There is room to remember. And there is room to love every one of your babies. 🌈🤍

📚 I’ll be sharing links to each book in my Stories.

Pregnancy and infant loss changes you. 🤍

One of the things grieving parents often want most is simply for their baby to be remembered.

Say their name. Remember the important dates. Ask about them. Give us space to talk about them — even years later.

You aren’t reminding us of our loss. We haven’t forgotten. You’re reminding us that our baby mattered to you, too.

And grief doesn’t have an expiration date. We can heal, laugh, find joy, build beautiful lives, and still carry our babies with us.

For every parent carrying a baby in their heart instead of their arms — your grief is valid, your love is enduring, and your baby matters. 🤍

October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month. 🤍

For some, October is a month of awareness. For others, it is deeply personal.

Pregnancy and infant loss can include miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, TFMR, stillbirth, neonatal loss, and infant loss. Every experience is different. Every grief is different. And there is no timeline for when someone should be “okay.”

A baby can be deeply loved whether they were carried for weeks, months, or held earthside for only a short time.

And grief does not erase love.
Time does not erase their existence.
Another pregnancy or another baby does not replace the one who was lost.

Throughout October, I’ll be sharing information about pregnancy and infant loss, grief, supporting someone after loss, pregnancy after loss, and ways we can make more space for families whose babies are no longer here.

For every baby remembered this month—and every day. 🤍

“Yoga is just stretching anyway.”

And maybe for some people, it is.

But for others?

Yoga was the first place they learned to breathe through panic.
To reconnect with a body they felt disconnected from.
To sit with grief instead of running from it.
To soften perfectionism.
To feel safe again.

Yoga isn’t “just stretching” to me.

It’s regulation.
It’s grounding.
It’s grief work.
It’s mindfulness.
It’s healing.
It’s coming home to yourself.

Words matter.
Especially in spaces meant for healing.

As a therapist and a reader, I’ve always believed books can help us better understand ourselves.

What started as a love for stories became a guided journal centered around reflection, healing, personal growth, and the connection between storytelling and emotional healing.

I LOVE being a published author 🤍

There’s a grief that comes from becoming someone you never planned to be.
Not worse. Not broken. Just…different.

I’ve been sitting with that space a lot lately.
And creating something from it 🤍

Looks out for an announcement soon!
