Staff Self-Care Secrets
Dr. Kayleigh’s Secret
"When life feels overwhelming, I lace up my hiking boots and head outdoors. Hiking is my go-to self-care practice because it’s more than just exercise – it’s a way to reset. Being surrounded by nature helps me clear my mind, find perspective, and recharge my energy.
My tip: Choose a trail that challenges you just enough, and focus on being present. Leave your phone on silent, breathe deeply, and take in the views. You’ll return feeling grounded, refreshed, and ready to take on the day."

“One of my best self-care practices is setting clear boundaries with both my time and energy. This means learning when to say "no" to things that drain me and saying "yes" only to things that align with my values or bring me joy. It’s easy to overcommit, especially when you're passionate about helping others, but prioritizing my own well-being ensures that I can show up fully for those around me.”
Morgan’s Secret
“"One of my favorite little self-care rituals is skipping my afternoon cup of coffee and swapping it out for a decaffeinated Blume latte. It’s a game changer! I love the ritual of a warm cup in the afternoon, but without the energy spike (or crash) that coffee can bring. It helps me stay grounded through the afternoon while still feeling like I’m indulging in something comforting. Plus, it’s a nice reminder to slow down and take a moment for myself during the busy day."
