When Your Child With a Rare Disease Doesn’t Feel Brave

Have you ever done something that you knew was the right thing to do, but you were scared to do it? Or maybe you did something that looked hard, but you decided to try it. That is courage in action and you probably felt very good about what you did. And you should! Courage shows [...]

How My Daughter's Rare Disease Opened My Eyes

When my daughter was first (mis)diagnosed with a rare disease in 2013, not only was I utterly devastated by the news that she had a progressive disease, but I was also shocked beyond reason by the realization that such a disease even existed in the first place. That moment was reality-altering. In fact, I remember very little from that day, except [...]

This mindset is secretly keeping you stuck.

We wait for the perfect moment — the right mood, the right day, the right version of ourselves. But that moment never comes.

The truth is, progress doesn’t wait for the perfect time — it creates it. Start now, and let your action shape the world around you.

What’s something you’ve been waiting to start? 👇

Where do you find inspiration?

The beauty of creativity is its versatility in how it can be expressed and shared. Creativity can be seen everywhere (even in nature), leaving so many avenues of inspiration to be found — you just have to know where to look. ✨

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks finds inspirations in the music she listens to and while scrolling on social media. She loves to see artists and online content creators sharing their art!

What inspires you?

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?
