Let’s be abstract artists today, Mighties, and create a visual representation of ourselves through art.
If you had to illustrate your personality using shapes, colors, and patterns, what would you choose and why?
Share your vision with us below. 🖼️🖌️🎨

Learning how to advocate for ourselves can take patience, time, practice, and consistent effort. For me, it’s taken years of therapy to feel confident enough in my voice and self-awareness to know when and how to speak up. It’s still really challenging at times depending on the situation, and I do still feel guilty more often than not — but I’m better than I was five years ago, and I’m proud of that progress! 🥳
What’s your experience with self-advocacy? How does speaking up for yourself make you feel?

The great thing about traditions is this: We have the power to maintain the ones we like, but we also have the power to create fresh ones. And adopting new traditions can help us build our own sense of community, especially around what and who we value most.
A new tradition mighty staffer @sparklywartanks wants to incorporate in her life is having a family movie or game night at least once every month so she can see her siblings more regularly.
What about you?

Hello Mighties!
As we head into the weekend, I want to share a quick reminder about staying safe, not just on The Mighty, but across all social media. Often scammers ramp up their efforts on weekends, hoping to slip under the radar.
First and most importantly:
If you have ever been scammed, please know it is not your fault. Manipulation is their skill set, and they are very good at it. Most people are never taught how to spot these tactics, which is exactly why I’m posting this today. We work diligently to keep scammers out, but sometimes they reach out to people before we catch them.
Here are a few signs to watch for:
Any message asking you to leave the platform is a huge red flag. Isolation is their goal, and WhatsApp is one of their most common suggestions.
They may also ask for your email address or phone number. Scammers prefer to operate in the shadows, where you lose the built-in protection of the moderation team.
If you receive a message on The Mighty that feels suspicious in any way, please report it, even if you’re not sure. To report a direct message, tap the shield icon in the top right corner and select “Alert Staff.”
We appreciate this community so much and want to keep it as safe, supportive, and scam-free as possible. Thank you for helping us do that.
Stay Mighty!

For today’s #MightyMinute , we’re tuning into the moments, skills, and experiences that tap into and boost our inner confidence — whether it’s a self-care routine, a conversation with a trusted loved one or friend, sharing knowledge about a topic you’re passionate about, or something you’ve practiced and strengthened over time.
When do you feel the most confident?
💙 P.S. If this activity feels challenging, that’s totally OK — we feel that. Confidence isn’t always easy to access, and some days it takes a little more gentleness. We're sending you some extra love today! 💌

Traditions are often celebrated or observed as they are passed down through generations or between family members, friends, or groups that share similar beliefs; but that doesn’t always mean they are "healthy."
Some traditions can be tied to toxic behaviors like childhood trauma or disorder eating and therefore can (and should!) be changed or challenged by those who once practiced them.
Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks broke tradition by deciding to no longer practice the religion she grew up with. She wanted to go on her own path and that made her feel liberated, especially in her healing journey.
