When Feeling Better Feels Unfamiliar or Weird
Sometimes, feeling better doesn’t feel the way you expect it to. It can feel unfamiliar or weird.

When caring about the world feels necessary and exhausting at the same time. When even steady, thoughtful people find themselves quietly worn down. If hope has felt harder to access lately, you’re not alone. But hope was never meant to be a personality trait. It isn’t something you either “have” or

Leaning into Advocacy
When the World Feels Like It’s Falling Apart If you’ve been feeling anxious, angry, numb, or overwhelmed by the state of the world, you’re not imagining things — and you’re not alone.

As the year comes to a close, many people feel an unspoken pressure to quickly reflect, set goals, and then pivot to “do better” in the year ahead.

Grief and change
When Change Feels Like Grief: Understanding the Grief that Comes with Life Transitions Grief is often talked about in the context of losing someone we love—but the truth is, grief shows up in many forms. We grieve people and we also grieve identities, expectations, routines, relationships, homes, jobs, and the versions of ourselves we’ve outgrown.
