Our Core Values

  • Authenticity

    Show up exactly as you are. Messy, tender, brave, unsure, growing. We’re real people connecting with other real people. Worthiness is intrinsic, and perfectionism is a defense mechanism.

  • Inclusivity

    Every identity, background, and story belongs here. This is a space built to honor difference, celebrate humanity, and welcome your full self to be seen and heard.

  • Social Justice

    We care about the world that shaped you.
    Your healing deserves a space that acknowledges inequity, centers dignity, and seeks to create safety for every identity and lived experience.

  • Self-Compassion

    We help you help yourself by nurturing a kinder (and wiser) inner voice; one that understands your pain, honors your limits, and speaks to you the way you’d speak to someone you love.
