🎀 National Pink Day was on Monday… but we’re keeping the pink party going all week! 💕 Side note: Are we the only ones missing those dreamy Barbie movie vibes from 2023? 🌸✨ Bring back the pastel sets, feel-good soundtrack, and self‑love energy! We’re spreading sweetness with cookie cakes from @mollymade.atx 🍪💗 and celebrating with our infamous Dog Feelings poster 🐶🧠—because nothing says “emotional awareness” like a cookie and dogs expressing feelings! Keep it pink. Keep it playful. Keep talking about feelings. 💬🌈 #NationalPinkDay #BarbieVibes #CookieCakes #DogFeelings #SweetSupport #TherapyThatGetsYou #MentalHealthMatters
It’s not just a color—it’s a whole mood. 💕 Today we’re celebrating National Pink Day the ATFG way: with courage, connection, and compassion.

☀️It’s a Cruel (but Magical) Summer ☀️ 🎶 “It’s a cruel summer… with you.” – Taylor Swift But here’s the twist: today is the summer solstice — the longest, brightest day of the year. 🌞 Even if it feels like a cruel summer (friendship drama, anxiety, or just ✨all the feelings✨), remember: you get to decide what you bring into the light. Let this solstice be your soft reset. 💛 Say goodbye to what’s not serving you. 💛 Step into your Lover-era glow. 💛 Be the main character in your own comeback story. Because even cruel summers deserve powerful girls, deep breaths, and good playlists. 🎧🌻 #CruelSummer #TaylorSwift #SummerSolsticeVibes #HealingEra #MentalHealthAwareness #TweenTherapy #AustinTherapyForGirls #SelfCareSummer #SwiftieSolstice
👨‍👧‍👧 Dads Are Cool. Period. They give the best hugs, the cheesiest (but still funny) jokes, and always know how to make you feel safe — even when the Wi-Fi goes out. 😅 Here’s to the dads who: 🫶 Catch us when we fall 📣 Cheer the loudest at our games 🤔 Say things like “Hi Hungry, I’m Dad” (every. single. time.) 😂 And somehow still make us laugh We see you. We love you. And we’re keeping the dad jokes coming. 💙 “I used to play piano by ear… but now I use my hands.” 🎹 “Why don’t eggs tell each other secrets? …Because they might crack up!” 🥚😆 Happy Dad Day to all the huggers, jokers, and heart-holders out there #DadsAreCool #BestHugsBestJokes #DadAppreciation #CourageCamp #TweenLove #DadJokeHallOfFame #fatherfigurefun
📣 Calling all 6th grade girls! This week at Courage Camp, we’re redefining what it really means to be fearless. ✨ Courage isn’t about being loud, tough, or perfect — it’s about speaking your truth, asking for help, and showing up with your whole heart (did you know “courage” comes from the French word for heart? 💖). 🎨 We’re kicking off with self-expression, art journaling, and a little inspiration from our girl Taylor Swift (because being brave doesn’t mean you’re not scared — it means you do it anyway 💫). #courage #campsforgirls #austintherapy #tweengirl #prepareformiddleschool
One of the bravest words you can say is help
