The Pillow Fort Method™

Introducing the Pillow Fort Method™. This approach combines creativity, comfort, and mindfulness to help us all prioritize our mental health in a way that feels as supportive as, well, a pillow fort. This method dives into how building a pillow fort isn’t just for kids—it’s a powerful metaphor (and sometimes a literal tool) for creating space to rest, reflect, and recharge in the midst of life’s chaos. If you’ve been looking for fresh ideas to prioritize your mental health—or just want a reason to unleash your inner child—this is it.
