When the Holidays Feel Hard

Every year at 8:00 am on December 26th, I get many messages from old clients and new clients wanting to make appointments for therapy. This is because the holidays can feel very hard, even in a “normal” year. Exhaustion, emotions,…

Keeping the Holiday Season Simple

The holiday season is full of fun, festiveness, and special times. But it can also feel chaotic, overwhelming, and full of family conflict. It is no coincidence that I book many therapy sessions at 8:00 am on Dec. 26th Every….

Simple Practices For Teaching Children Gratitude

I received a really positive response to last weeks post on Books for Teaching Gratitude, so I thought I’d share a little more on the subject! None of us want to raise entitled, ungrateful children. No one is aiming for…

As I continue to grow in my work as a therapist, the more certain I am that gratitude is a deeply important skill that we as parents must instill in our children. It isn’t something that always comes naturally for…

How Do I Know When I Need to See A Counselor?

“How do I know when I need to see a counselor?” is one of the most common questions I’m asked. The truth is that this question has no definitive answer. Anything that is stealing your happiness, peace, or freedom in…

I’ve spent my entire life believing people in Ne I’ve spent my entire life believing people in New England drape a sweater about their shoulders because it’s a local fashion tradition. That’s incorrect. They do it because It.Is.Cold!!!🥶

When I worked from home for 15 months I most assuredly did NOT follow all the jolly “get up and get dressed as usual!” suggestions. When it was time to re-emerge, I didn’t know what to wear or what size I wore and it took me a little while to get it all figured out. But I finally did and it helped me feel a little more like myself during a really hard time. 

I haven’t had a reason to get dressed up in a while, so I really enjoyed choosing clothes for Cape Cod. Several people (honestly several! Like 50 instead of the usual 2) asked about things I wore on our trip, so I’ve linked them in stories. Just DM me if you have any questions. 

We all know clothes don’t define us, they don’t tell our story, and they don’t give us self-worth. But each of us really is worthy of wearing things that help us feel our best, whether that’s the best comfy pjs, shorts and t-shirts from target in this heat, or something fancy if you feel like it. I hope you’ll do that for yourself if you know it’s something your heart could use 💕

All the cheese, a side of pizza, and friendship br All the cheese, a side of pizza, and friendship bracelets on the beach for me please! 

When we first started planning our trip @greshamjewelry was kind enough to send bracelets for every single one of us! We all loved these classy (yet waterproof!) bracelets that come in so many different color options. I’m wearing the Grey Lady with Freshwater Pearls from the Nantucket collection, named for the magical fog that comes in from the ocean and covers the island💕

These bracelets are linked in my stories and profile. Use code WHITNEY15 for 15% off at checkout! 

*We got to meet up with @greshamjewelry during our visit to Nantucket and she was such a delight!

On this trip Sarah and I bonded over stories of our beloved grandparents who recently passed away, the best warm apple fritters you can possibly imagine, and  her expert care when I became a touch seasick due to ocean waves+excessive feasting+excitement 😂. She has a heart of gold and just the right amount of spice to round it out ♥️

Can you believe this picnic @littlepalmpicnic set up for us?!? I was like “who am I and what is this life?!?” Every moment of this trip was a gift and the people were the best part.
It required a map, fast walking, and a spirit of It required a map, fast walking, and a spirit of  dedication from me and @mckenziefussell, but I found myself a lighthouse y’all. 

I have no idea why anyone would have thought we were tourists😉
Was the purchase of sweatshirts that say CAPE COD Was the purchase of sweatshirts that say CAPE COD the first thing the we discussed when we had the idea for this trip? Absolutely yes. Was it our literal first order of business when we arrived? Also yes. What can I say, we’re just a bunch of goal setters 💁🏻‍♀️

We’re packing up to leave and I’m already getting emotional thinking about this beautiful time with these beautiful people. What an absolute gift.
Please send for my things, I think I’ll stay awh Please send for my things, I think I’ll stay awhile. I fear this trip has ruined me totally and completely and it DELIGHTS me.

Nantucket, you are made of absolute magic. Your pe Nantucket, you are made of absolute magic. Your people are so warm and welcoming, your food is delightful, and everything about you is like a fairy tale town. 

Two years ago I NEVER would’ve believed I’d be here! What a gift to be on this adventure and what an unexpected surprise to have ten strangers I met on the internet alongside me. We’re enjoying every single minute! 

I threw my penny in the water when we passed the lighthouse on our way out and you’d better believe I’ll be back to this special island!
