She is deeply committed to helping women cultivate more joy and connection in their lives and is passionate about challenging the outdated expectation that women should put everyone else first and themselves last. With over a decade of experience in both mixed-gender and women’s groups, she has cultivated a profound appreciation for the transformative power of being seen and loved in all facets of ourselves - embracing our humanness, imperfections, and unique beauty. GROUP AGREEMENTS 1. Be real, be vulnerable be YOU. Her Tribe is a place to be real, messy, vulnerable, brilliant and everything else in between. This is a space we leave our masks at the door and show up EXACTLY as we are that day. 2. This is a judgement free zone. Listen, hold space and perhaps offer your perspective if you have relevant life experience. Don’t judge other’s decisions or actions, we all do the best we can with the information and tools we have at that time. 3. Self-responsibility. Her Tribe is an inclusive and welcoming space for women to come together to grow, share their life experiences, and build lasting friendships. We are not a support group or group therapy space. Participants need to be responsible for their own mental and emotional well-being while participating and access appropriate support outside of tribe meetups. 4. Be KIND. You never know what is going on in other people’s lives and kindness is FREE. 5. Respect confidentiality. Authentic, raw and expressive discussions make groups great, but may also contain information that is sensitive and confidential. You may talk about your own experiences, but do not share other’s conversations or experiences without permission. 6. Listen and hold space when someone is speaking. It’s so easy to interject with our advice or experiences, but let the person speaking have the space and attention to share fully first. 7. Have each other’s backs. In tribe we come together to witness each other, to be vulnerable and real and support each other. No criticizing, backstabbing or gossiping. 8. Support, not tribalism. When we jump straight to defend the person sharing, we rob that person of the opportunity to reflect and gain insight from their experiences. We want to create an environment to support and witness each other, rather than just making the other people in the story wrong and bad. 9. No labels. This is not a space to diagnose each other or put other people in a box. Humans are wonderfully complex creatures and we’re not qualified to decide other people’s labels.
