February hits hard.

Valentine drama.
Bestie confusion.
Breakups.
Comparison spirals.

If this month stretched your heart a little thin…
let the second half be about stretching your self-love. 💗

Check in with yourself the way you check in with your friends.

It might be the Year of the Horse for Lunar New Year…
but around ✨Austin Therapy for Girls✨ it’s always the Year of the Dog. 🐾

Frank & Ozzie clocked in today—
zero notes, full emotional support, 10/10 vibes.

What if the thing you call a flaw…
is actually part of your flavor?

Pink Starburst Sunday reminder:
You are allowed to be works-in-progress and wildly worthy at the same time.

Flawsome looks good on you.

She knows….does really know!

Myth #1: Girls are mean.

What if instead of labeling girls as “mean,”
we asked:

What’s happening underneath?

Because behind gossip, exclusion, or attitude is often:
• Anxiety
• Social pressure
• Fear of rejection
• A need to belong

At Austin Therapy for Girls, we don’t just correct behavior —
we get curious about it.

Curiosity builds connection.
Labels build shame.

The 8 myths of friendship were supposed to roll out this week…

Instead?
Real life happened.

Sessions ran long.
Hard conversations unfolded.
Growth happened behind closed doors.

This is the messy middle of building something meaningful.

In Pink Chaos, I talk about how friendships aren’t perfect — and neither are we.

Maybe this week’s myth is this:
“You have to do it all perfectly.”

Nope.
You just have to show up with heart and a cute top :)

So as we celebrate Galentine’s and send love out into the world, I’ll be counting down the friendship myths from Pink Chaos—and helping girls (and moms) build healthier, more realistic connections.

Because healing happens in community.
And friendship isn’t supposed to be perfect—it’s supposed to be human.”* 💗
