We were planning to post this during Stress Awaren We were planning to post this during Stress Awareness Month… but ironically, stress got in the way.

So here it is, a little late, but maybe right on time.

This is your reminder that stress doesn’t have to be a silent, looming ghost. It’s real, it’s human, and it’s okay to acknowledge it. The more we face it, talk about it, and take care of ourselves, the less power it holds.

Let’s normalize the conversation, even if it starts with a ghost in a sheet. 👻🧠💬
