People across the country are facing the same worries and challenges that you are. During this time, it is important to remember that it’s OK to not be OK.

Childhood wounding up to age 18 is approached with compassion and skills are taught in order to create a healthier and happier self. With Jellycat, these little animals create a safe haven for your inner child to come out, start healing, and discover joy. |
It has been highly requested by our alumni to have a daily resource of mindfulness and a stock pile of good 'ole, feel good, kinda reads - and to be honest, we could not agree more. Recovery is not about changing who you are, but about letting go of who you are not. Life is not about being perfect. It's having the resources and tools for personal growth, transformational change and realizing it is okay to be perfectly imperfect. With these collections of articles, blogs, memes, and affirmations our hope is that you'll continue to discover daily joys and embody your authentic self.
We all love to get lost in a story or maybe we sought after information to educate ourselves further. Either way we've narrowed down a few of our favorite literary topics like - exploring codependency and it's five core issues, child development, cookbooks, self-care, and daily affirmations. No matter what subject you prefer there is something here for everyone. And please do not forget to check out our full library here.
Our team has a collective background ranging from therapeutic methods, leadership, family, to lifestyle and wellness - though all deeply rooted with mental health and self-care at the forefront. Each month we introduce our readers to a topic near and dear to our hearts to give you an insight to who we are and how you can embrace obstacles in your life and acknowledge being perfectly imperfect is okay.
