November events recognize the caregiver in all of us

In November 2025, we may feel the desire to slow down as we settle into the fall season. For caregivers, there is no pause or slow down. It’s an everyday ongoing responsibility that can be both taxing and rewarding. We encourage you to pause to consider that we are all caregivers.   The first person we care for is ourselves. And if we do a poor job at self-care, then it limits our effectiveness when it comes to caring for others including our children and our elderly loved ones.

Could your non-negotiables be the key to greater resilience?

Do you ever notice how you feel "off" when you skip the things that matter most? That’s the power of your non-negotiables. When life gets busy, it’s easy to let go of sleep, movement or the boundaries that protect our time and energy. But research shows that holding firm to our “non-negotiables” -  the values, practices and lines we simply won’t cross - actually strengthens our well-being. Psychologists call these “self-integrity anchors.” They remind us of who we are and what we stand for, even when life feels overwhelming.

Life gives us moments that words can’t always fully hold. A heartbreak that lingers in the chest. Anxiety that hums under the surface. Grief that feels too big to name. We know talking is important. It can bring clarity, relief and connection. We also know that sometimes words alone aren’t enough. That’s where artistic outlets provide different outlets to process emotions.
