Ready to transform your anxiety into calm? This week, as we continue to focus on anxiety and the mind-body connection, we have something special for you. Kayla (that's me) has created an art as therapy emotional regulation exercise crafted especially for overthinking mothers.

Forget about the hustle and bustle of life and tap into the power of mind-body awareness.

Grab your art supplies and a cup of steaming tea or coffee, and explore the colours, shapes, and metaphors your body communicates with you.

We also share an inspiring story of a client who found peace in motherhood's chaos. It's a testament to the power of a consistent creative practice outside therapy sessions.

In a pursuit to promote chillness, we'll discuss self-care, confronting anxiety head-on, and the importance of seeking professional help when needed.

I'll be sharing some tips on cultivating your mind-body connection through visualization, writing, and self-reflection, as well as managing the stress that comes with being a mother who is always "on."

We'll also discuss some strategies for regulating emotions and becoming more self-aware. So tune in and start feeling more chill.
