What Is Cortisol & How Does It Affects Us?

Image
I share from my own healing journey—these posts are for me first, then if you relate, for you too. I’m simply walking in purpose and sharing what helps me heal and grow, in hopes it may encourage you to. 🌱✨  Cortisol is a hormone your body produces in response to stress. It’s made by your adrenal glands (small glands that sit on top of your kidneys) and plays a big role in how your body manages stress, energy, and balance. Functions of Cortisol Stress response : Often called the "stress hormone," cortisol helps your body deal with challenges by triggering the "fight-or-flight" response. Metabolism : It helps regulate how your body uses carbohydrates, fats, and proteins for energy. Inflammation control : Cortisol keeps inflammation in check, so your immune system doesn’t overreact.

May 2025 Mental Health Awareness

 


This month, we bring awareness to mental health— and embrace the #EndTheStigma mindset. 

Let's also remember that we must put our awareness into action to see the results and give hope to others !! 

Recovery is possible, its up to the individual to make the decision. A decision to do what is necessary for the best of you to emerge. A decision to be stronger than whatever is seeking to control you and stunt your growth.

Way too many of us have struggled silently, putting on a strong face while falling to pieces inside. This is why our community stands on the foundation of support, faith, encouragement, and most importantly—awareness.

You are welcome here. You are not alone.

I can only imagine what a world where everyone is holistically well would look like—mind, body, and spirit. What a beautiful reality that could be.

This month is a time to reflect, raise awareness, and most importantly, extend grace to ourselves and each other. Some of us have struggled in silence for years, believing that no one would understand, or ashamed of what they might think. Silence breeds shame—and shame keeps us from healing.

Let us imagine something different: a supportive community for the hard days when you when you're down, celebrates your smallest wins, and encourages your growth without judgment.

Together we can create a safe space built on faith, encouragement, awareness, and love. A place where holistic wellness—mind, body, and spirit—is not just the goal, but the culture.

What would a community of healed people look like? Peaceful? Creative? Bold? Unified? The truth is we don't know and wont know if we never try.

We each can commit to becoming just a little better—to healing, to understanding, to showing up—we would become the change we yearn to see in the world.

Let’s walk this journey together. You're not alone, and you're always welcome here.

Call to Action:
Join the conversation. Share your story. Celebrate someone today. Let’s grow together!!
