If life has felt more stressful and exhausting, know that you’re not alone. Many people are feeling disempowered, hopeless, overwhelmed, and have no idea how to pick themselves up every day and continue the basic tasks of living.

I believe that having a space to explore your feelings in an open, non-judgmental environment can relieve some of the pressure and make it possible to invest time and effort into building a better life and a better world.
