This week has been a tough week for me and my family. My mom’s cancer has progressed to stage 4 and the news has been heartbreaking. The doctors are giving her 9 to 12 months to live. Writing that and reading that statement is unbearable. My mom has been struggling lately with this news, I mean who wouldn’t? To know …
If you’re not a naturally trusting person, allowing yourself to trust others can be a difficult process. For a very long time, I was the type of person that put up barriers and couldn’t let anyone in for fear that they’d let me down. I had a hard time believing people when they told me their intentions, and I would …
We are all a work in progress. No one has it figured out, everyone is constantly learning and growing and changing. It’s really easy to beat ourselves up for being a work in progress and for not having it all together. But how beautiful is it to realize that you don’t have to be in this space of self-criticizing forever? …

Then it hit me. …

She also reminds us that each of our stories are unique and beautiful, even if they have some rough patches! If …
I’ve been doing a lot of yoga and meditation lately to help me through. On the weekends, it is nice to have some extra time to do longer or multiple meditations. I did one this weekend that was focused on self-love, something I haven’t been doing so well lately. The instructor said to think of a time when I felt …
Our bodies are incredible machines. They’re unbelievably powerful, but we have to make sure we’re taking care of them to ensure that they continue functioning as they should. After all, we only get one. For a long time, I ignored what my body needed and tried to power through on minimal sleep and minimal food. Throughout most of high school …
On Monday, March 8th, 1N5 presented its RECHARGE + RECONNECT training to Cincinnati Public School’s Health & Physical Education teachers. Over 20 educators attended the session, which focused on compassion fatigue and prioritizing self-care.
