💗 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

As someone with a history of breast cancer in my family, I understand the importance of being proactive about my health and staying on top of my yearly screenings.

Early detection can save lives. Start by:

* Scheduling a screening.
* Know your family history.
* Talk with your healthcare provider about
your personal risk.
* Don’t ignore changes in your breasts.

Breast cancer doesn’t discriminate, and it doesn’t always come with warning signs you can see or feel.

This is your reminder to make yourself a priority. You deserve the same care, attention, and love that you so freely give to others.

Have you scheduled your screening? If not, let this be your sign!

There’s still plenty of time to make October count!

There’s still time to revisit those goals, take a chance on a new opportunity, prioritize your peace, pour into your personal growth, and make room for the things that bring you joy.

Just because the month is halfway over doesn’t mean your opportunity to make progress has passed. You don’t have to have it all figured out, and you don’t have to do everything at once. Sometimes, the most meaningful changes begin with one intentional decision.

The leaves changing colors reminds us that every season brings something new; give yourself permission to grow, release what no longer serves you, and make space for what’s next.

What are you choosing to focus on for the remainder of October?

OCTOBER ISN'T OVER YET! NEW MONTH, NEW OPPORTUNITY TO RISE!

October is your reminder that growth doesn't always look like starting over. Sometimes, it looks like trusting the process, embracing change, and giving yourself permission to evolve.

Reclaiming your voice, rising with purpose, and shining with newfound confidence starts with the choices you make every day.

This month, challenge yourself to:
🍁 Choose courage over comfort.
🍁 Protect your peace and prioritize your well being.
🍁 Take intentional steps toward your goals.
🍁 Embrace new opportunities.
🍁 Give yourself grace as you grow.

You don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to take the next step.

Your October reminder:
Fall into your purpose and rise with intention.

Let's make this month count!

IT’S WINNING WEDNESDAY!

Let’s take a moment to celebrate the wins; big, small, and everything in between.

What are YOUR wins for this week?

What have you accomplished, overcome, started, finished, or simply shown up for?

Here are a few of my wins this week:

Today, I’ll be presenting at the YWCA Madison Racial Justice Summit! I’m honored to be in the room sharing space, wisdom, and conversation around healing, relationships, and the work of helping.

Village Girl Boutique will also have a booth! Come see what we’ve been creating and grab a little something for yourself.

And Little Owl is coming along for the ride! I’ll have copies of 'Owl Always Love You' and the accompanying coloring book available.

Three wins. One day. And a reminder that we have to pause long enough to celebrate how far we’ve come.

So, I’ll ask again…

WHAT’S YOUR WIN THIS WEEK?

Drop it in the comments. Big win. Small win. Quiet win. A WIN IS A WIN!

This week, I’ll be presenting two workshops at the YWCA Madison Racial Justice Summit 2026; one client centered and one helper centered.

After 15+ years in social services, along with my own lived experience, I’ve seen both sides of the work.

I’ve seen how our experiences, assumptions, emotions, and capacity influence how we show up for the people we serve. I’ve also seen compassionate, committed helpers give so much of themselves that they lose pieces of themselves along the way.

The work can become personal.
The boundaries can blur.
The weight we carry can become heavier than we realize.

And sometimes, while helping others reclaim their lives, we forget that we need to reclaim parts of ourselves, too.

That’s why these conversations matter.

One workshop asks: How are we showing up for the people we serve?

The other asks: What happens to us while we’re doing the work?

Because healing centered work requires us to care for both sides of the relationship.

The people we serve deserve our best and the people doing the serving deserve care, restoration, and space to remain whole.

Client centered. Helper centered. Healing centered.

Let’s talk about what it means to do this work without losing ourselves in it.

Hope to see you there!

DEFINE YOURSELF.

The world will try to tell you who you are.

They’ll make assumptions about your story, your choices, your capacity, your dreams, and even your worth.

But you get to decide.

You get to define who you are becoming.
You get to change your mind.
You get to outgrow old versions of yourself.
You get to stop shrinking to fit someone else’s expectations.

Your life is yours to define.

As Audre Lorde reminds us: “Define yourself for yourself…”

Ask yourself:

Who am I becoming and am I allowing myself the freedom to become her?

RECLAIM. RISE. SHINE.
