We're All a Bit Nutty; it's what makes us so sweet!

Introducing… "We’re All a Bit Nutty; it’s what makes us so sweet!" A nutty flavor that's nut-free, vegan, gluten-free, and 100% stigma-free (tied deeply to the kickoff to our 21-Day Mental Health Stigma Detox!) It’s said that “if you have a body, you’re an athlete." So if you have a brain, mental health is part of your daily experience and deserves regular appreciation.

Like everything, we all experience the world in different ways, which is what gives us our talents, creativity, and personality. For a variety of reasons, so many of us process the world in ways other than what's considered “normal” (by normal you mean like the washing machine setting, or normal like the bland option at the restaurant with no toppings or spices?). Those of us who "think different," are neurodivergent, experience mental illnesses, or manage mental health day-to-day often face high levels of stigma. As a result, many have difficulty accessing care and support, work opportunities, and more. This limits the power to share their beautiful, impactful, and unique abilities to improve the world and help others. These gifts often come as a direct result of these experiences or unique ways of processing. We should celebrate and appreciate this neuro-diversity, not discriminate from poor understanding. It’s #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth and it's never been more important to elevate awareness! We’re leading a 21-day stigma detox to help reduce stigma around mental health, mental illness, and neurodiversity through increased understanding. Through social media, our blog, and our newsletter, we'll share resources, prompts for reflection, and action steps to take personally and at large to improve support and reduce the impact of stigma. That's a key recipe for sweet communities! Stay tuned! 🎶

Day 1: (Personal Reflection) How has a difficult experience or what seems like a "nutty" trait became a sweet superpower for you?

There's never been a better flavor to try adding some toppings to, in particular our local friends at Nutty Bird Granola, especially their "No Nutty" nut-free flavor!
