How are you really feeling today?

When someone asks, “How are you?” our knee-jerk response is often, “I’m fine” or “I’m good,” even when that’s not the full truth. I know for me, there are times when I don’t feel well for weeks at a time, so when someone asks how I’m doing, I sometimes feel guilty being honest — even though I want to share how I’m really feeling.

Today, we want to know how you’re really feeling. Share with us in the comments below.

💌 Sending extra love and energy to the Mighties who need it right now.

Your past may have shaped you, but it doesn’t have the right to limit you.

When you’ve lived through pain, your mind can get stuck replaying old moments.

Old mistakes.

Old losses.

Old identities.

Depression often pulls you backward, convincing you that the past defines you — that what happened then is who you still are now.

But the past only has power when we keep feeding it.

When we carry yesterday’s wounds into today, we block ourselves from healing, from opportunity, from becoming someone new.

Let the past be a chapter, not a prison.

You deserve a life that isn’t decided by old pain, old stories, or old versions of you.

Today isn’t asking you to rewrite everything.

It’s simply asking you to show up.

To breathe.

To take one step forward — no matter how small.

Your future isn’t built from what happened yesterday.

It starts with what you choose right now.

What small choice will you make today that your future self will thank you for?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts.

What’s something you’re appreciative or grateful for experiencing this year?

Whether it’s a valuable lesson learned, a boundary firmly in place, the end of a cycle, time spent with loved ones, an outdoor activity, a resource or diagnosis that’s been life-changing, progress where you once felt stuck, a completed project (or one still in progress), or simply making it to this very moment — what’s something you’re grateful for experiencing this year?

♥️ It’s been a long one, Mighty fam, but as we near November, we’re especially grateful for you and this community.

🌿 How to make healing feel less overwhelming

When you’re struggling, it’s easy to look at how far you have to go — and it feels impossible.
You start thinking about all the habits you need to build, all the pain you have to heal, all the changes you should make.

But recovery doesn’t happen all at once.


It happens one moment at a time.


One breath.


One small act of courage.


One tiny choice to keep going.

No matter how long your journey seems, this moment — right now — is the only one that truly matters.
And if you can take care of this moment, the rest will take care of itself.


👉 What’s one small step you can take right now to move forward?
