This is life in the sandwich generation. You’re raising children while simultaneously caring for aging parents. It’s a reality for millions of adults today and while it can bring deep meaning and connection, it can also be overwhelming. This overwhelm feels especially heightened during back-to-school season, when new routines and responsibilities pile on.

For caregivers, taking a break (let alone a vacation) can stir up a powerful mix of guilt, fear, and self-doubt. Even when we’re exhausted. Even when everyone around us says, “You deserve it.” This isn’t just about logistics or time off. It’s about identity, loyalty, and emotional survival.

Conscious breathing (also known as breath work) gives you a way to interrupt the stress response and bring yourself back into your body. The beauty of this strategy is that it’s accessible, free, and doesn’t require any special equipment. Just a few slow, intentional breaths can begin to calm your nervous system and shift you from chaos and overwhelm to steadiness and calm. 

So often for those with invisible illness, symptoms like pain and fatigue are misunderstood or not believed because they are unseen. What even is an invisible illness?

Starting therapy to address any mental health concern is a big (and brave) step. Whether you’ve had a recent mental health diagnosis, you’re navigating grief or managing anxiety symptoms, or you simply crave a space to be seen and heard, finding the right therapist for you can make all the difference in your treatment.

Grief and depression can look and feel incredibly similar. Both can bring tears, exhaustion, numbness, and a sense of hopelessness. Yet they are not the same! Just like with anything we experience or feel, it’s important to identify what might be happening so that we can understand ourselves better and assess when we need additional support. In this post, we’ll explore what sets grief and depression apart, where they overlap, and how to recognize the signs of each.

Simply put, anxiety is the body’s response to perceived stress, danger, or uncertainty. Although every human experiences anxiety at points, it becomes a concern when the symptoms become persistent and interfere with our daily functioning. Because it can be so challenging to identify when it transforms from normal to persistent, it’s helpful to be aware of the ways it can manifest physically, mentally, and emotionally.
