“I wasn’t sure what to expect, but as your presentation started I began scribbling pages of notes and screenshooting your slides. I burst into tears when the “Deepening Belonging” slide came up. It felt like a million lightbulbs were suddenly going off in my head. I am filled with gratitude!”

– Marissa, Divvy

“That was absolutely fabulous. From puppy-brain to the Star Wars reference (and on more serious levels of being critical of my internal criticism), I identified very deeply with what you were saying.”

“As someone who has learned a lot of stuff about wellness *in theory*, I was happily surprised by how much I got out of your talk. As a fiction writer, I’m very familiar with the hero’s journey, but it never occurred to me that it might apply to my own life! The concept of having a hero’s mindset rather than a victim’s is incredibly empowering. Learning that our window of tolerance can be shifted gives me hope to know that I can actually DO something about it.”

– Rachel, McKinnon-Mulherin
