Hi [First Name],

I see you. I know how much you carry every day—showing up for others, pushing through challenges, and doing your best even when life feels overwhelming. If no one has told you today, let me be the one to remind you: you deserve care, too.

Take a deep breath right now. Let your shoulders relax. Feel the weight ease, even just a little. Sometimes, we get so caught up in the rush of life that we forget to pause and check in with ourselves.

So here’s my gentle encouragement to you today: Give yourself permission to rest, even in small ways.
✨ Step outside for a few minutes of fresh air.
✨ Sip a warm cup of tea or water and actually savor it.
✨ Take five deep breaths and let them remind you—you are here, and ^_.

You don’t have to do it all at once. Small moments of self-care add up, and they matter. You matter.

If you need a little extra support, I’m sharing content from our intern training series: the Check In tool—a simple way to reset, recharge, and take care of yourself in just a few minutes. 💛 The Check In too explanation starts at 6:00 and the walk through starts around 8:40. The quick Check In is covered here.

Sending you warmth, ease, and a gentle reminder: You are doing better than you think.

With care,
