Grace, Growth & a Little Too Much Sugar 🍪💛

Hi friends,

Yesterday was... a day. You know those ones when your mind feels like it’s doing cartwheels and nothing seems to land? That was me. My ADHD was off the charts, and I haven’t felt that scattered in a long time.

As I sat and reflected (as gracefully as I could), I realized what may have kicked it all off—my weekend visitors came bearing love, laughter, cookies, wine... and a surprise margarita. 😉 Now, I’m not really a drinker, and sugar isn’t usually my go-to, but I indulged. Like, binged a little. Okay, a lot.

By Monday, I could feel it. The inflammation in my body was loud. My brain felt foggy, and even my ears were feeling heavy and full. It was a powerful reminder of how deeply food and drinks can impact not just our bodies, but our minds too.

So I hit pause. I pulled out the tools I’ve collected over the years and gave myself permission to slow down. I chugged water like it was my job, I gave myself so much grace, and I reminded myself that this isn’t failure—it’s feedback.

The old me would’ve spiraled into self-sabotage. I would’ve punished myself by withdrawing or “putting myself in the corner,” because that’s what I learned growing up: make a mistake, isolate yourself, cut yourself off. But not anymore.

Now, I choose softness. I choose curiosity. I choose compassion.

And honestly—that's the heart of what I teach in The Healthy Habits Course. It’s not about forcing change through guilt or piling on the “I should’ve done this” stories. It’s about learning how to love yourself into healthier habits. It’s about getting curious, not critical. It’s about having a decent, honest conversation with yourself—understanding what’s really behind your behaviors—and then gently making tiny shifts that lead to big, beautiful changes. Groups are available in ASL and in English!

Changes that touch every layer of your being: mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual.

Have you ever done something you wished you hadn’t? Maybe eaten something that didn’t serve you, snapped when you didn’t mean to, or just veered off course? How did you respond?

If you're anything like me, you’re learning. Growing. Practicing the art of being kind to yourself—even when it’s hard.

Thanks for being here. Thanks for growing with me.

With warmth and gratitude,

Catherine
