We love and appreciate you showing up with warmth, integrity, and care in a system that often forgets.

Happy happy birthday!

Black History Month is more than a month.
It is a commitment to truth.

These leaders did not wait for permission to demand justice.

They organized. They resisted. They changed history.
Remembering Black history means refusing erasure and choosing accuracy even when it is uncomfortable.

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.”

Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today—and recommitting to justice, care, and collective healing. 🖤✊🏽

Mental wellness isn’t about doing more.
It’s about doing what’s doable.

Small habits. Slow integration. Compassion first.

On January 3, 2026, the U.S. military carried out strikes in Venezuela and captured President Nicolás Maduro, prompting global reactions and questions about international law and precedent.

We remember the human impact and the importance of accountability in international action.

Justice for Renee Nicole Good.

She was a mother, an artist, and a legal observer. She was described as kind, compassionate, and protective of others.

State violence is not justice. Accountability matters.

adhd, menopause, and hrt don’t exist in separate lanes

hormones change dopamine, meds, mood, and focus
and mental health care needs to catch up

this episode breaks down what’s actually happening

Gift-opening anxiety is common for neurodivergent people, especially when being watched or expected to perform joy.

This post explains why it happens and offers practical ways to reduce pressure, take breaks, and honor quiet gratitude.

You do not owe anyone a big reaction.

holiday schedule chaos hits neurodivergent systems differently

less routine + more sensory input + fewer recovery windows = real nervous system strain

this isn’t about resilience
it’s about structure, pacing, and permission to do less

you’re not broken. the environment changed.

Reminder: holiday overwhelm isn’t a personal failure.

Noise, lights, crowds, smells, and expectations can overload neurodivergent nervous systems fast. You’re allowed to wear headphones, leave early, shop online, dim lights, and take breaks.

Accommodation is care. 💛

Paperflower Psychiatry is hiring a psychiatric nurse practitioner 🌸

This one is for anyone who has ever felt blindsided by pregnancy hormones, postpartum shifts, or the emotional fallout after miscarriage.

Your brain isn’t broken — your hormones are freelancing again.

Happy Pansexual Pride Day! 💛💗💙
A little reminder that pansexual folks bring so much color, creativity, and compassion into our communities.

You are, truly, pan-tastic.

This episode breaks down the menstrual cycle, the hormone–ADHD connection, and how neurodivergent folks experience these shifts differently.
