October is for exploring & accepting loss
Don't try to do it all! Pick one topic and build upon what you learned each year.
Hey friends!
This October we’re exploring and accepting loss, pain, and death.
Give your kids the tools they need for proactive mental health care, and they’ll learn not just to survive pain, but to grow stronger, kinder, and more compassionate through hardship.
Remember that everything here – I made this for you. Cause you are important and you deserve safety, health, and support in the work you do.
Join our free October workshop
Exhausted from flinging your attention between childcare, global tragedy, prepping dinner, and local injustice?
Join Nat Vikitsreth of Come Back to Care & Ashia Ray of Raising Luminaries as we overcome the derailments that prevent us from raising kind & courageous leaders.
Together we'll cover discover how to stay focused and co-regulate together with our children to transform the parenting freak-outs that no longer serve us.
RSVP: Join us live on Oct 18th or request a recording if you can’t make it.
Coming up next…
I’ll be back in a couple weeks with new October Quick Actions, with help from our Quick Action Coordinator, Shannon B.S., author of Growing Sustainable Together. (Bookshop affiliate link)
Take this next 15 seconds and stop thinking about everyone else who needs your help. Accept that you also are an important person who deserves care and keeping.
Stick around. I like you. You deserve good things.
with you,
Ashia

PPS: Thanks to the 8 paid subscribers who support my work on these toolkits on substack - Amelia, Carly, Kathryn, Andrea, Elizabeth, Abigail, and Jennie (and the mystery person who doesn’t have a profile name - sorry I can’t thank you by name!) they help me provide these toolkits for targeted families who can’t afford a paywall.
