2025/10/01

Our words have the power to speak life or death - not only to others, but to ourselves. We've all been there - the mantras of self doubt and the cycle of shamed thinking.

2025/09/03

Seriously, you don't have to be cool. Being part of a group is our very nature, but at different seasons in life we try too hard to fit in - and it doesn't stop after high school. Often we sacrifice our preferences, our inclinations, our personality, and even our sense of right and wrong in order to fit in. But, what if we flipped the script? What if being authentically you is what drew people to you. What if your quirks are the very thing that make people go - I want to get to know them. Join us in

At times in life we can settle in, but it often comes at sacrifice of hope: hope that things could get better or things could be different.
