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
When uncertainty hits, anxiety goes into overdrive. Your brain is wired to find danger, not peace.
Here’s the good news: you don’t have to “fix” uncertainty. You can learn to anchor yourself through it.
👉 Focus on what you can control: your breath, your habits, your reactions. 👉 Create boundaries around social media. 👉 Move your body — anxiety is energy that needs to move through you. ... See MoreSee Less
In a world that rewards busyness and achievement, taking care of your mental health can feel like trying to meditate in the middle of a mosh pit.
Mental health is more than the absence of mental illness, and some people have brains that make it more complicated than others. I have one of those brains, and I can promise you, there is still a stigma attached to it.
If we want to show up for others, we have to show up for ourselves first. That’s not selfish. That’s self-preservation.
So this #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, let’s normalize what should have been normal all along: Rest. Therapy. Tears. Laughter. Boundaries. Breakdowns. Growth. ... See MoreSee Less
Burnout doesn’t come out of nowhere. It’s a slow drip—until it becomes a flood.
Watch for these signs:
🔥 Constant exhaustion (even after sleep) 🔥 Feeling detached or numb 🔥 Lack of motivation for things you usually love 🔥 Physical symptoms like headaches, stomach issues, or irritability
This month, commit to giving yourself what you need — without guilt. You can’t serve from an empty cup. #MindfulMonday... See MoreSee Less
Stigma keeps people from asking for help. Stigma keeps people suffering in silence.
Mental illness is not a character flaw. It is a part of the human experience.
That’s why I’m proud to support NAMI Central Texas and organizations fighting to reduce stigma and expand access to resources. Join a NAMI Walk, support a cause, or just have an honest conversation. Every step matters. 🚶♀️ www.nami.org/... See MoreSee Less
Mental health isn’t something to “fix” and forget about. It’s something we build every single day — just like resilience. 🧠💪
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. One of the most powerful tools in your mental health arsenal is mindfulness.
Mindfulness isn’t about sitting on a mountaintop in silence (although if that’s your thing, go for it!). It’s about learning to pause, breathe, and notice what’s happening inside your mind without getting swept away by it.
The way we respond to life’s challenges determines our quality of life. And mindfulness is the cheat code. 🙌 ... See MoreSee Less
The human brain is only able to focus for approximately 90 minutes before your cognitive abilities and focus starts to slip.
Without periodic rest, the brain loses its ability to retain memories, think clearly, or maintain attention.and experiences a decrease in productivity. Over time, this equals exhaustion, burnout, stress, and anxiety.
