Go visit Potter’s Green & Gift if you’re in Dover today! A little plant therapy is always good for the soul!

Business is a little slow this week and downtown is quiet, but we’re open and using the time to give the plants some extra love and put the finishing touches on the beautiful new shop.

It has us thinking about what actually holds a community together, like neighbors who show up for each other, small businesses standing strong, and the quiet, ordinary moments that remind us there’s so much good around. Some things grow best when they’re rooted in realness.

Let freedom grow. 🌿

If you’re out in downtown Dover today, come say hi! We are open from 10–2 at 6 Third Street before heading home to celebrate with loved ones. Happy Fourth, friends!

“I wish I dried up
I wish every drop of my milk slipped passed those pink lips and nourished the ground
Where the bones lay
Of my babies
Starved while I feed their murderer
I wish I dried up
So the missus babies would dry up too
And be brittle
So I could crumble them to dust
Return them to the ground
Where all children of my bosom lay equal"
- Hess Love

Imagine being forced to feed the children of the people who treat you as livestock. Imagine feeding a baby you know will be taught to treat you as livestock. And then imagine that happening at the expense of watching your own babies starve.

And after 400 years of this, the generational trauma surrounding breastfeeding (and so much more) is immense.

Why would perinatal providers highlight so much?

You cannot support families without understanding the past.

We currently continue to have limited openings for new clients at LifeBalance Counseling, Coaching & Wellness.

If you’ve been thinking about starting therapy — whether recently or for a while — this may be a supportive time to reach out. We work with two primary populations:

🌿 Emerging adults (late teens–20s); navigating anxiety, decision-making, identity development, academic or career transitions, and feeling “stuck” or overwhelmed by expectations

🌿 Midlife women; managing chronic stress, emotional load, burnout, perimenopause transitions, sleep disruption, and shifts in capacity and energy.

Our approach is integrative and developmentally informed, meaning we look at the whole picture ~ not just symptoms ~ including stress physiology, life stage, relationships, sleep, and nutrition.

We currently accept a range of major insurance plans, and our team can help verify benefits and coverage before your first appointment to make the process as simple as possible.

Starting therapy doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. We’re here to help make the first step feel clear and supported.

✨ Immediate openings available

That time 16 years ago when I was obviously hanging on by a thread waiting for my baby to decide it was time.

PS... ooof, that posture...
