Letting go isn’t weakness — it’s an act of courage.

It’s hard to turn the page when you know someone won’t be in the next chapter.

Whether it’s a friend, a partner, or even a version of yourself you once loved... letting go hurts.

There’s grief in acceptance. There’s pain in moving forward.

And sometimes the hardest part isn’t losing someone… it’s realizing life doesn’t pause for our hearts to catch up.

But the story must go on.

Not because you’re supposed to “get over it,” but because you still deserve to grow, to heal, to discover who you are without what you thought you’d always have.

Loss shapes you, but it doesn’t end you.

You get to keep writing.

You get to become someone even stronger, even deeper, even more alive than before.

Turn the page when you're ready.

Not because the past didn’t matter…

but because you do.

Who or what are you learning to release so you can move forward?

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. So if you or anyone you know is struggling and wants help, click on one of the links below or write me if you have any questions you want me to answer

What type of people do you tend to gravitate to?

Hey Mighty fam! 👋

As social beings, we naturally seek connection — those who make us feel seen, understood, heard, or inspired. Maybe you’re drawn to people who radiate calm energy, share your sense of humor, practice the same hobbies, have similar experiences, or simply “get it” without needing much explanation.

What types of people do you feel most comfortable around? What qualities do you tend to be drawn to in others right now?

Share your thoughts below — we’d love to hear what kinds of people fill your circle. 💞

What is your favorite way to express yourself?

Let’s let our creativity shine!

Whether it’s through our personal style, how we speak or sing, how we move our bodies, or what we write about or creative art around — there are so many different ways we can express ourselves.

What is your favorite form of self-expression?

If you think you're failing, watch this.

Most people mistake repeated setbacks for weakness, but if you’re still trying, you are not defeated.


You’re learning. You’re rebuilding. You’re becoming stronger than the version of you who started.

Healing isn’t a straight line.


Trying again is strength.


Keep going, your future self is already grateful for you.

What’s one thing you’ve learned from starting over? 👇

TRUE or FALSE: I consider myself a creative person.

Happy Monday, Mighties! 😇

Let’s dive into this week’s theme of creativity! (This is Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks favorite thing in the world BTW. 😁)

Creativity can encompass an endless amount of interests, skills, practices, talents, and habits. Creativity for one person can look quite different from another person and that’s the beauty of it all!

While some might bask in their creative energy, others might not consider it a strength… and that’s OK! There’s no right way when it comes to self-expression.

Would you consider yourself a creative person? Answer "true" or "false" in the comments below.

Write about a time you made an unexpected connection that positively affected you.

Isn't the best when you make a connection with someone and have a positive experience doing so?

Let's end the week by sharing those refreshing moments of connection below. 👇

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks remembers the first time she began facilitating creative workshops. She didn't expect so many people to attend and enjoy the activities she created. The experience felt great!

Stop attacking yourself for how you feel.

Most people don’t just struggle with emotions; they struggle with judging themselves for having them.

Sad? You shame yourself.

Anxious? You call yourself weak.

Numb? You think you’re broken.

But healing starts when you stop fighting your inner world.

You are not your feelings, you’re the space they move through.

Let thoughts rise and fall.

Let emotions come and go.

No judgment. Just noticing.

That’s how you teach your mind safety again.

That’s how you begin to heal.

Can you give one emotion today five seconds of space without judging it? Tell me which one you will try.
