May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and it’s the perfect time to slow down and check in—with yourself and with the people you care about. This isn’t just about self-care tips (though we’ve got those!). It’s about real talk: how sometimes we need rest, sometimes we need help, and sometimes… we need to log off and breathe.

Whether you’re dancing in your kitchen, meditating for five quiet minutes, or finally reaching out for the support you deserve—this post is your gentle reminder:
You’re not alone. You matter. And your mental health matters, too.

💚 And if you want a quiet way to show support, our green awareness ribbon enamel pin is a small but powerful symbol of care and connection.
