I recently had the honor of being commissioned by a local therapist to create this sticker set for her practice.

Each design celebrates real wins in therapy: showing up, making progress, taking care of yourself, doing the hard thing, or even just taking one step forward.

Mental health and counseling matter because healing isn’t always loud or linear. Sometimes progress looks like courage, honesty, rest, or simply staying here. Having those moments acknowledged can make all the difference.

If you’re in therapy, thinking about starting, or supporting someone who is, your effort counts. Always. 🌱

2026.05.26 | We all need to get in tune with our intuition - it is our inner guidance, our compass that helps us travel though our life journey.

However, if you don't practice it regularly enough, then it will be hard to differentiate between your ego (mind) and your intuition. So, here is a simple guide to help you become aware of the difference between the two.

I drew Harvey Harvington!

I feel like my mediocre artstyle doesn’t do this cutie patootie justice 😭 The second image is a bonus look into my first attempt at drawing him months ago, back before I knew what I was doing at all. Progress, folks, progress!

Be gentle with the part of you that's healing 🌸

Healing doesn't happen in a straight line. It's not a checklist you complete and then you're done.

Some days, you'll feel strong. clear. like you've finally figured something out.

Other days, you'll feel tired. heavy. like you're back where you started.

Here's what matters: Both of those days are okay.

Feeling tired doesn't erase your progress. having a hard day doesn't mean you're failing.

Healing will lift you up, and sometimes it will ask you to rest. over and over. in its own rhythm.

A soft reminder for the harder days:

"I'm allowed to heal at my own pace. Strong days and tired days are both part of my journey."

What happened to you took time. Your healing gets to take time too.

So on the days when you feel like you've slipped backward, try to remember: you're not starting over. you're just moving through another layer.

and that deserves gentleness, not judgment.
