Every year around Valentine’s Day, Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks reflects on what love really means to her. Having experienced a lot of rejection in the past, she’s often met with heartbreak, grief, and sadness around this time.

This year, though, she wants to reflect on how much effort she’s put into developing a better understanding of love—not only in the romantic sense, but as an energy and a practice. Her relationship with herself, as a person in recovery, hasn’t always been bright. But she has created more light by learning to love herself unconditionally, even through the darkest moments.

She’ll never give up on herself—and love has taught her that.

What about you? What has your health taught you about love?

Fears can develop or resurface for many different reasons and at various points in our lives. Identifying, acknowledging, processing, and eventually overcoming them can take time, patience, self-awareness, and practice. That doesn’t mean the fear won’t come up again—but responding to it with more confidence, care, and compassion when it does is also part of overcoming it.

What’s a fear you want to overcome—or are currently working through? What would overcoming that fear look like for you?

Mighties, we know all too well what it’s like to spend time waiting—whether that’s in a physical waiting room, on hold over the phone, or virtually through telehealth. Depending on the type of appointment, where we go and how we communicate with a medical professional can look very different.

What’s the longest amount of time you’ve spent waiting to see or speak with your doctor or another medical professional for an appointment?

Making mistakes is a normal part of life. Through them, we learn, adapt, adjust, change, and ultimately grow. Whether a mistake led to short- or long-term consequences, coming to terms with what happened can take time and patience.

Often, the hardest part isn’t the mistake itself, but the process of understanding it over time.

💌 Gentle reminder: We are still worthy of good things even if we've made mistakes!

How do you come to terms with past mistakes? What helps you process, heal, or move forward? Feel free to share a thought, strategy, or reminder with us below.

Happy Friday, Mighties! 💎

All the responsibilities, tasks, and demands that come with managing, understanding, and living with health conditions or disabilities can be stressful. From doctor visits and appointment planning to waiting for and understanding lab and test results; from navigating uncertainty to tracking new or ongoing symptoms and medications; from advocating for yourself to learning new ways to build habits that support your needs — it can all feel overwhelming at times.

We’re right here with you in that process and on that journey. 🙋‍♀️

What are some ways you cope with health-related stress? What do you find most helpful for balancing, organizing, and prioritizing your health responsibilities? And what tips would you share with someone who’s new to or still figuring out their journey?
