You deserve to be deeply seen and heard — and to feel safe while doing so, no matter what stories you may tell yourself.

Our society has perpetuated a great and harmful myth — one that tells us we must quietly shoulder our challenges on our own, that to be a “good hero”, one worth celebrating, we must overcome adversity and face our demons in solitude. While there is merit to an inner work that can only be done on our own, the truth is that we are built to heal in community, whether with one person or a trusted group. Choosing vulnerability as a path to growth is not just brave, it is a gift to the people and communities around you, in this generation, and those to come.
