Here is a brief description of each:

Bliss Bursting Through: A serene mountain range crests upon a bursting cosmos, all while a seemingly more serene series of hills lies below.

Firelike Skies: A sky that burns with orange, reds, and even purple hangs above a forest with rich, vibrant trees.

Glowing Valley: A burning orange sky hangs above hills that shine with verdant greens and bright yellow trees.

Stories Meant for Movement Camp 2026 was a massive success!

This camp is designed to not just engage play, but to also to encourage mindful movement to tell stories.

We hit almost max capacity several days and the kiddos absolutely loved it. The best part of this camp was introducing these kiddos to empathetic and compassionate play and playing alongside them. This camp helped to build friendships, develop community, and explore how play heals.

Proud Game Master Post!!

Today was a busy, loud, beautiful, and wondrous day at my work. While this may seem like simple terrain, it is far more than that.

Yes, the loudness came from a very packed gaming space, but I was able to watch my D&D players build a testament to their creativity using new D&D Resources. It was a beautiful thing to watch players collaborate and build together while laughing and growing more excited with each block.

And yes, while D&D can so often be chaotic, in those moments, there are beautiful sparks of wisdom, pride, and communication.

It is days like this that remind me to step back, listen, observe, and be in awe of those who hold so much potential at such a young age.

What an interesting gift it is to carry scars.

June is PTSD Awareness Month. This is such a complex and unique experience, tragically human yet so stigmatized.

Questions like " Isn't PTSD only for veterans?" Or even "why can't you just move on?" is filled with pain, judgment, and bias. And yet, what is also so wildly confounding is that we are a world that so rarely truly understands trauma.

Let's be clear: there is no way I can truly explore PTSD fully in a social media post. However, I can honor those who live with it.

We are warriors living each day facing the behemoths of lackluster care, constant judgment, and a truly foundational lack of understanding. But, in that is part of my point, we ARE warriors carrying on bravely, and adapting to an unforgiving world. And in that their perseverance.

So often we are also the healers, the heroes, the teachers, and the community members fighting for change, for peace, and for light. So no matter the hordes of darkness before us, we must carry on.

As none of us would choose our trauma, and yes, the mockery that comes with it. However, we can be those who spread good in this world by defining trauma-informed care and leadership.

So this PTSD Awareness Month, may we walk forward in love, support, and empathy for our community and our future. And ultimately, may we be warriors of kindness, working to bring light to a dim world. #empathydrivencare #mindfulleadership #compassioninleadership #empathydrivenstorytelling #communitystories

Men's Mental Health is a Collaborative Journey.

Mental Health is a series of losses, wins, pains, and lifelong lessons. That doesn't diminish the value of pursuing wellness. However, a particular Community often left to quietly suffer, worry, and carry burdens beyond our community is the Men's Mental Health Community.

I need to be clear, I am not implying that Men should command others, hold women back, carry toxicity, or even be hostile, what I am saying is that men are inherently taught to suffer in silence. To be brave until we break. Even to never share our truth. This leaves us alone, and that isn't how healing works.

We need to support, collaborate with, and listen to the men in our lives. To help them heal in a collaborative journey. We must be as kind as we expect them to be and act with empathy that enables spaces to help those seeking change.

And because of that, we need to be bold enough to let the men seeking their truest wellness know they are deserving of that journey.

Happy Men's Mental Health Awareness Month!!

Happy Pride Month All!

No Matter how you walk your pathway, or you carry the worth of your voice, or even how the world judges you, carry yourself as the wildly wonderful Unicorn you are!

There is no one who can carry the courage of your kindness, the strength of your spirit, or the wild magic that shimmers as you shine. So know your value as the incredible person you deserve to be. 

Be proud, be strong, be bold. 

There is so much to be grateful for.

Sharing a genuine moment of amazement. This year, my D&D Camps are so popular that I have had to launch a 4th- in person camp and an online D&D camp!!! The Best part is the online camp is nearly full and the 4th in person one is slowly reaching its minimum!!

This information has caused my heart to swell with genuine joy. I honestly would never have expected this, and genuinely, I still sit in awe of this each day. This wonderfully silly thing I do is growing by leaps and bounds,  and so many are chasing the silliness with me. Truly, I am wildly proud and humbled.

I never expected for this to be so successful, but it goes to prove that work led with kindness, driven by empathy, and supported through respect builds bridges.

Hello all!

Today we have the last story of our Mental Health TTRPG Colloborative: Serena Akinahew - A Story of Beasts and Joy

1Where did your journey with TTRPGs start?

It started when I met my husband. We sat down with a little Cthulhu short story. A friend and I were curious, and I wanted to play, plus I wanted to impress the boy that I like. We dropped our characters, and then we jumped in, and I remember being surprised because there wasn’t much instruction. It was just and go. It was fun, though outside my comfort zone, and over the years I enjoy it more and more. Everybody plays differently.

2 What benefits did you observe as you played the game?

I particularly like its versatility. There are so many different ways to play a game; you can play it as horror, campy, or funny. You can play the game lightheartedly or seriously; there’s a place for everyone, whether you’re the big person who has lots to say, you enjoy being the comic relief, or you’re more of an observer and along for the adventure. If you have a very good set of playmates, it’s always fun.

3 Can you tell us a bit about your experiences/ joys/ positive experiences that have cemented TTRPGs as a vessel for wellness?

Simply, it gave me a chance to share time with people I enjoyed, share food, laugh, and tell stories. It helped mIt helped me by giving me something to look forward to, and it even came with a bit of a script, so if I didn’t know what to talk about or didn't want to talk about day-to-day life, there was plenty set up for me to talk about is one aspect of TTRPGs that you feel will empower people who have not started to play or are considering playing.

Find people who want to spend time with you and find the style you want to play in so you can find a group that aligns. For example, I like DnD fine, but I ADORE playing Call of Cthulhu, and I especially like the one-off stories because you can do them in one evening, stress-free if you don’t know when you'll be able to play next.

Additionally, you can reject any questions you do not like.
