Wanting to withdraw does not mean you’re broken. It means you are sensing limits and asking for care. Imagine your inner self as a house after a storm: some rooms need a bit more time to dry out and be made cozy again. Retreat is not failure - it can be the first step toward repair.

We often think of sleep as the last thing on the list - the thing we’ll catch up on over the weekend, or sacrifice when life gets busy. But sleep is not a luxury; it’s a biological necessity, a psychological anchor, and often, the missing link in our emotional wellbeing. Sleep is one of the most vital, yet most overlooked, foundations of emotional wellbeing. While we often speak of anxiety, depression, trauma, or burnout, what quietly threads through all of them is the quality of our rest.
