Kelly Overton Instagram – One year in to my clinical psychology degree. Wow that flew by!
This year wasn’t just about tons of reading — it was about unlearning, remembering, stretching, and strengthening.
I remembered that connection is the heart of parenting. That kids don’t need perfection, they need presence. I discovered how important it is to guide without rescuing, to be the calm in the storm instead of trying to fix the storm itself.
I furthered my understanding of just how much pressure we all live under—especially parents—and how vital it is to slow down and make space for reflection. Space to pause before reacting. Space to reconnect with our values and lead from love.
I’ve thought deeply about health, identity, purpose, faith and what makes a life feel meaningful. I’ve questioned cultural norms, examined discourses, assumptions and reclaimed some important self care practices. I’m walking away from this year with a deeper understanding of what it means to be a safe place for others. Looking forward to what this next year will bring and to keep sharing with you. Thanks for sticking around for it all. 🖤🤘🏼 | Posted on 07/Apr/2025 21:44:45
