We have 9 spots left! First come first serve! (Comment “RSVP” for tickets!)

I always get the coolest things from clothes swaps, so I’ve wanted to share it with the greater community! Partnering with (a slow fashion/second hand shop) and (a women empowerment art gallery) means everything because it is important to me that —

ALL events stay intimate & cozy.

Our mission is to fight adult loneliness through meaningful conversations. And honestly, those are best in smaller settings. :-)

Girls, come swap some stuff with us & maybe meet a new best friend!

So, you’ve probably heard the term “burnout” tossed around, right?

But did you know there are *different types* of burnout? 🤯 Yep! Burnout isn’t just one-size-fits-all, and understanding the different types can help you figure out what’s going on and how to tackle it. Let’s dive in together and break it down. 😊

So, What Now? 🤷‍♀️

If you’re feeling burnt out, the first step is recognizing what type of burnout you’re dealing with.

Once you know, you can take steps to get back on track.

Remember, burnout doesn’t mean you’re weak or failing—it just means you’ve been carrying a heavy load for too long.

Taking care of yourself is so important, so be kind to yourself.

Whether you need to slow down, shake things up, or reach out for help, just know that it’s okay to take a break and recharge.

You’ve got this! 💪✨Don’t forget to take a moment for you today! 💚

PSST. Ready to unplug, shake things up, and do it in the company of others?! Consider our Healing Girl: Soul Refresh Retreat! 🧘‍♀️

It’s a weekend escape designed to help you recharge, connect, and discover your inner peace. 🪷

📆 It’ll be the very last weekend of September (Friday-Sunday) in Belton, TX (a little roadtrip from Dallas and Austin) at a lake house!
