Grief can feel different as a trauma survivor. The responses that once helped you survive don’t always support healing later on. Find it on Apple, Spotify, Podbean & more. #traumarecovery #griefsupport #podcast
Healing has a waiting phase. You’re not where you used to be, but not where you want to be yet either. It can feel uncertain, like you’re just waiting for everything to make sense. But that doesn’t mean nothing is happening. #mentalhealthrecovery #healingjourney #selfawareness #mentalhealth
Mother’s Day can bring up very different emotions. If today feels heavy, complicated, or emotionally difficult for you, you are not alone in that. It’s okay if today is simply a day you get through instead of a day you celebrate. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mothersday #healing
You’re not confused, you’re avoiding what you already know. #mentalhealth #selfawareness
Mental health recovery is all about balance. It’s not about extremes, but learning to move between them. The goal isn’t perfection, it’s awareness and flexibility in what you need. #mentalhealthrecovery #healingjourney #selfawareness #emotionalwellness #balance

Before a new week begins, it can help to pause and ask yourself one simple question: What actually matters this week? Taking a moment to reflect can bring clarity and help you focus your energy on what truly matters. #mentalhealthrecovery #emotionalwellbeing #personalgrowth #resilience

My heart is broken.😭💔 This RACIST SCUMBAG lives in Kelowna, British Columbia, and Tizzy wants to know who he is (and so do I). What he did to these poor people is a HATE CRIME in Canada, and he better not get away with it, the ANIMAL needs to be shunned, shamed, and prosecuted. Please repost.
