hey everyone 👋 we all know how frustrating (and expensive!) it is when the power goes out and everything in the fridge is lost.

if you are a SNAP recipient and lost food due to a power outage or other household disaster, you may be able to get benefits replaced for the amount of food lost.

the clock is ticking ⏰: you must report your food loss within 10 days of the disaster.

you can use the form below, grab it from your local office, or easily submit it online through your COMPASS account.

👀 You know that moment in therapy when you finish talking and your therapist doesn’t immediately jump in?

It might look like this:

Client: finishes talking

Therapist: sits quietly for a few seconds (the longesttt secondssss)

Client’s brain:

💭 “Well this is awkward.”
💭 “Should I say more?”
💭 “Did I break therapy?”
💭 “IS THIS THING ON?” 🎤

Actually…

Sometimes that pause is the therapy.

A little space to process, reflect, feel, and hear yourself before someone else jumps in.

Not every meaningful moment needs to be filled with words.

You got so used to being the dependable one
that now resting feels lazy or just…wrong.
Boundaries feel mean!
& saying “actually that doesn’t work for me” feels uncomfortable…..I COULD NEVER.

Ya know, a lot of people learned to survive by keeping everyone else okay first.
Because when they’re ok, I’M OKAY.

But constantly showing up for everyone while ignoring yourself gets exhausting.

So guess what:
You’re allowed to stop overexplaining. (Yep, you are!)
You’re allowed to disappoint people sometimes. (Instead of yourself.)

You’re allowed to take care of YOU before you completely burn out. (Or, shut down.)

Self-advocacy doesn’t have to signal *threat* to your system.

Today’s reminder:
Before automatically saying yes to something,
pause and ask yourself if you actually have the energy for it.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month 🤍

Not everything you carry is visible.
Some days you’re thriving. Some days you’re just getting through—& guess what? Both count.

This is your reminder:
• you don’t have to do it all
• you’re allowed to rest without earning it
• small steps are still progress
• asking for help is strength, not weakness

At Ember & Bloom Health and Wellness, we’re about real life healing—not perfection.
The messy, the quiet, the “I’m trying” days… all of it matters.

So,
Take up space.
Check in with YOU.
Be a little gentler with yourself today.

You’re doing better than you think.

Sometimes when stress builds up, your nervous system needs a moment to reset.

Grounding techniques use the body or the senses to help bring attention back to the present moment.

Not every tool works for everyone — but sometimes a small reset can help things feel a little more manageable.

Save this for the next time your mind or body feels overwhelmed.

March is Social Work Month.

A lot of the work we do as social workers isn’t loud or flashy.

It’s listening, holding space, asking the questions that matter, and helping people feel less alone in what they’re carrying.

Sometimes it’s helping someone feel understood for the very first time.

Grateful to be part of this journey.

Happy Social Work Month, from all of us at Ember & Bloom Health & Wellness.

Therapy doesn’t have to feel stiff.

Neither do introductions…..

I’m Whitney Jordan. 👋

One-third owner of EBHW & resident social media guru.

My commitment to my clients is grounded in helping to untangle trauma, anxiety, attachment patterns, grief, and the kind of stress that lives in your body longer than you’d like.

I’m also someone who:
• finds comfort in true crime & horror (but will never leave my foot dangle off the bed at night 👀)
• believes movement is medicine
• and thinks belly laughs count as nervous system regulation
