Hey Reader,

Let’s be real — Halloween hits different when you live with chronic illness.

Our “tricks” look more like:👻 Trying to rest while our body still feels haunted by fatigue.💀 Saying “boo” to overdoing it (even when FOMO creeps in).🕯️ Dodging sugar crashes, loud parties, and fluorescent lighting.

But here’s the good part — we still get treats.The cozy kind. The soul kind. The ones we actually need.

This year, I’m skipping the spooky chaos and making space for a softer kind of magic: warm socks, candlelight, my comfort show, and a reminder that rest isn’t lazy — it’s sacred.

🍬 Your Treat: The Self-Care Toolkit

Because sometimes, the best way to celebrate Halloween is by taking care of the human under the costume.The Self-Care Toolkit is full of gentle prompts, reflection pages, and simple check-ins to help you refill your energy (no potions required).

👻 One Tiny Step

Before the week ends, give yourself one real treat — something that feels nourishing, not numbing.💗 A nap.💗 A slow walk.💗 A no-guilt “nothing” day.You’ve earned it — simply by existing through this week.

Here’s to skipping the scary stuff and embracing the soft season instead.You’re not missing out — you’re tuning in.

Happy Halloween 🎃,

Mini Mindset Shift

You don’t owe anyone your energy just because it’s a holiday. Your body doesn’t follow the calendar, and that’s okay. You get to define what celebration looks like this year — even if it’s cozy pajamas, your favorite snacks, and a night of doing absolutely nothing
