  Beat the summer heat with us as we explore the healing power of water spaces! We know that spending time in green spaces supports our mental well-being, but research also suggests that "blue spaces" offer equally powerful benefits: quieting the mind, reducing stress, and promoting a deep sense of calm. If you’ve ever noticed that you feel lighter, calmer, or more refreshed after spending time by a lake or the ocean, we talk through the research and theories, focusing on therapeutic effects, psychological impact, cultural connection, and our everyday life!

  Small Moments of Joy: What Are Glimmers and Can Noticing Them Help With Stress?

Glimmers are sensory cues, either internal or external, and their neurological impact comes from telling your nervous system, “You are safe.” Researchers and advocates argue that glimmers can even act as the exact opposite of a trigger, but what do Sibyl and Micheline think? Will they try to find more glimmers in their lives?
