Asking for help isn’t weakness — it’s one of the strongest moves you can make. Here are a few mental health resources that might help you or someone you love:
Last month, Jay and I went to Vegas to see Dead & Company at the Sphere. I can sum it up in one word: AMAZING. I wasn’t a Grateful Dead fan before I met Jay, but now I get it. The music is incredible, but what really hooked me is what it represents.
The Grateful Dead have a lot to teach us about mental health, and it starts with the name. Here’s what I took away (besides a slightly fuzzy memory and a new appreciation for tie-dye):
1️⃣ Be Grateful. Gratitude is one of the most powerful tools for emotional resilience. The Dead didn’t just sing about life; they lived it with deep appreciation.
2️⃣ Be Real. They messed up on stage, improvised, and weren’t polished, and that made them magnetic. Mental health isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being human.
3️⃣ Find Your People. Deadheads are more than fans, they’re a community. Mental health thrives through connection.
4️⃣ Embrace the Journey. Their songs were never about rushing to the end. They lived in the middle, the improvisation, the weird transitions, the unexpected flow.
5️⃣ Keep Going. The Dead faced loss, setbacks, and chaos, but they kept showing up. Life isn’t always in tune. It’s about staying in the song.
This #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, let’s take a cue from the Grateful Dead: Be grateful, be real, stay connected, embrace the journey, and keep going even when life gets messy. ... See MoreSee Less
Your cousins Robert and I are old enough to remember seeing Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, and Mickey Hart live.
YES! I also just got home from this amazing experience and so much of it revolved around the awesome community of Deadheads. Appreciate this post - you captured it perfectly!
Anytime I see someone in the military, I thank them for their service. The same gratitude is owed to the incredible leaders at Child Protective Services and Texas Department of Family and Protective Services.
These professionals show up every day to protect the kids who can’t protect themselves—and that takes courage, grit, and heart.
I was honored to spend the day with this group, equipping them with tools to build resilience, reduce stress, and stay grounded in the face of overwhelming challenges.
Thank you for your service. You are true heroes in every sense of the word. 🙏 ... See MoreSee Less

You can’t promote mental health if you’re modeling burnout.
➡️ Take your PTO.
➡️ Disconnect after hours.
➡️ Talk about your purpose.
➡️ Share resources.
Mental health at work starts at the top — and leaders, your example matters more than your words. ... See MoreSee Less

Mental health is health. It’s something we fuel (or deplete) every single day.
Just like your body needs rest, water, and good food, your mind needs care, attention, and support.
