By People House | March 12, 2024

Hey there! Welcome to a space where we’re diving into a common struggle – overwhelm paralysis. It’s that feeling of being swamped with too much stuff, especially if you’re dealing with ADHD.

In this series of blogs, I am exploring questions around finding meaning and purpose in our lives and how therapy can help further this exploration.  I want to start this blog with a basic observation about oak trees – the simple fact that oak trees begin their life cycle as acorns.

Be kind – but it DOESN’T mean be nice! || By Rev. Mary Coday Edwards MA

By People House | February 27, 2024

Being too nice can kill you. This is how it starts: Your body says to you, “You’re doing it again.

By People House | January 29, 2024

Who doesn’t love a new pair of shoes, especially ones that fit right out of the box? I find myself looking forward to the moment I can strap, snap, buckle them on and go for a spin. I have snow boots for inclement weather, dressy sandals for special occasions, shoes for strolling around town, hiking…

Should We Advance or Evolve in the Bedroom? || By Rick Garcia, Certified Sex/Cannabis Coach, LMT
