Let's chat about trauma. Whether it's a past experience, a painful memory, or an ongoing struggle, trauma can have a profound impact on our lives. It's like a hidden drain on our energy and well-being, often draining us without us even realizing it.

Trauma can show up in various ways – from anxiety and restlessness to mood swings and physical ailments. It's essential to recognize that healing takes time and that acknowledging our trauma is the first step towards reclaiming our power. 💪

Stay resilient and kind to yourself. 🌈

Just a reminder to keep things simple and go back to basics when needed. Don’t let “depression brain” convince you that you’re not deserving of rest, water, and food. Deliberately drink a glass of water, go to bed when your body is exhausted, and get something in your body to eat- prepackaged and minimal prep is perfect! When it comes to striving and meeting needs, start from the bottom and work your way up the hierarchy.

Jamie Lee Curtis vows to 'fight for' her trans daughter Ruby: 'I don't know everything' Jamie Lee Curtis doubled-down on her support for trans daughter Ruby Guest in a heartfelt interview on MSNBC show Morning Joe.

{YAWN} Welcome to our Monday series “Jasper Jabbers”- a series of posts where Jasper jumps in with his own wisdoms. Let’s see what he RETRIEVED for us today. It’s sure to be GOLDEN. So you may not know this about me, but I love predictability. I like knowing that when Mom throws the tennis ball I can let it bounce exactly once before catching it in my mouth. I like knowing where all my bones are stashed, and I especially like knowing that when I wake up every morning and run to the couch, I’m gonna get deep back scratches and told I’m a good boy. Well, that’s all changed this weekend. They tell me I have a brother now. Theo? Teddy? Theodore? Little Bear? One of those is his name. But a brother- Is that a friend that doesn’t ever go home? Because playing has been a ton of fun but he doesn’t know social cues. Party’s been over, bruh. Yet he’s overstaying his welcome for real, for real. Manners are non existent at times and some of his behaviors are downright rude! Stealing food out of my dish and legit no personal space? Boundaries, my dude. Get some! Buuut I’m trying to lean into the changes. I think the humans are hip to things because I’m getting some good alone time, THEY are being extra cool to me, and every time the little tumbleweed gets a treat (for doing the bare minimum!) I get one too. Mom says he’s still learning and can’t change what he doesn’t know so it’s partly my job to teach him. So I’ll puff up, use my big boy bark when he crosses the line, and if need be, simply walk away and spend some time in my happy place/crate if he isn’t being respectful. He’s not so bad. He shares in my good looks, for sure and he adores me so he has some taste. 😉 Mom says he may be sharing this CFW platform with me in the future. I’m not sure about any of that yet but I know one thing for sure… it’s nap time. Peace and mad love, Jasper ✌️❤️

Love this!

Dreading Mondays? You Can Banish the Sunday Scaries! If you feel anxious every Sunday in anticipation of a new work or school week, you're not alone. Here's what Sunday Scaries mean and how to manage it.

Jasper has a brand new brother! 🤷🏼‍♀️ Meet, Theodore. Jasper will continue with Monday “Jasper Jabbers” while Teddy gives the occasional “Ted Talk.” Why a second CFW family dog? Because around these parts we like a challenge! 😅

Yes! 🙌 This goes for tone in any relationship. Your message gets lost in the assumption “they’re just mad” or in the individual’s reaction to your anger, blurring the words themselves.
