Self-awareness

Self harm was my way of feeling something real when the emotional pain became unbearable. The physical act became a language for the chaos inside, a release of pressure from The unseen weight of trauma, addiction, and depression. I lived in fear - hiding scars, adjusting clothing and managing judgment from those I loved. Pain cause more pain; the cycle felt analyst. Yet, through recovery, I learned that self-harm does not define my worth. It taught me empathy, resilience, and the importance of being seen and heard. Now I got others through the darkness helping them understand their triggers, look for glimmers, find healthier outlets, and reclaim their life with hope, compassion, and self-love.
Body doubling for chores, emotional tasks, and hard-to-start projects
Renee S.
Finding balance
MOTIVATION IS HARD!!! I know sometimes getting started is the hardest part in getting anything done! At times it's so hard to get moving, even at a snail's pace, but once someone else is involved.... BAM, I'm moving at Mach 5 to get it done! Maybe you just want someone to talk to while you fold laundry. Maybe it would be helpful if someone is just sitting quietly while you do something really hard emotionally, like going through belongings of a loved one after they have passed. There are numerous situations where having someone to just BE with you can be helpful and I'd be more than honored to be that for you. We can talk about anything, or nothing, whatever you'd like and whatever might help you get through whatever task it is that you are having trouble starting. I get it. I have nearly earned a Master's Degree in procrastination! I'm learning little tricks to get myself moving, the top of which is the Body Double... someone to be with while I do the thing I don't want to do.
Online relationships and social media overwhelm
Dee G.
Dating
Internet overuse
In the digital world , bonds form quickly over the Internet. No matter the circumstances surrounding the connection, feelings are still feelings. Our feelings get hurt for any number of reasons, but when the connection begins to feel too strong or feels a little unusual, the connection can become overwhelming. Have you ever been catfished? Have you been scammed by someone impersonating someone else or been suddenly let down by expectations you didn't even realize you had? I was misled in a romantic scam, formed unrealistic bonds with people I never intended to meet in person, and felt intensely connected to the idea of someone who was just a fantasy. I've helped friends pull back from the edge of diving too deeply in an unhealthy digital relationship and helped them reassess and redirect that abundant energy flooding in. I learned to check my own developing emotions and spot red flags. Para social relationships are a consequence of the digital world. Let's talk about it together.

Overcoming Digital Overwhelm and Comparison Stress
Ritika D.
Social media
Digital wellbeing
There was a time when Instagram and Facebook drained me. Every scroll showed friends getting promoted, traveling the world, hitting milestones. I began comparing—questioning where I stood. The joy in their lives made mine feel small. Food videos didn’t help either—I’d crave more, eat more, and feel worse. One day, I paused and asked, why am I letting a screen make me feel this way? That moment sparked a shift. I muted accounts that triggered comparison and followed pages that brought peace—dogs, babies, simple joys. Slowly, my feed became a source of calm instead of chaos. Those small changes helped me breathe easier. I learned that managing digital overwhelm starts with choosing what we allow in. I began to feel lighter. The comparison faded. Joy returned. My feed stopped draining me and started healing me.
Body doubling and productivity tools for neurodivergent brains
Caitlin D.
Time management
I discovered body doubling in the last few years and it has supported me well in getting things done when I really struggle with task initiation, anxiety and follow through as an autistic and ADHD person. If you're not familiar with it, body doubling is simply the act of communicating the task you're hoping to accomplish to someone else and being with them while you do it. Typically I like to check in before I start, stating what I'd like to accomplish. I also like to check in after the task sharing about how it went. I'd value being your body double partner while you accomplish whatever you'd like. Maybe it's cleaning, making a phone call or going for a walk - something you know you need to do for your health and wellbeing but are really struggling to do. While you complete your task I'll be working to complete a task of my own. We can check in around how you're feeling about the task, too, as there might be many reasons why the task is hard to accomplish.
Working through stress and rebuilding a more balanced life
Alaina P.
Daily wellness
Stress management
When a lot of huge, life changes hit me all at once- most not positively- I struggled with depression, being in survival mode, and staying functional at work. This made me finally try therapy and I developed a lot of great tools to manage my stress and emotions, while also still feeling like I had the energy to pursue my goals. I credit my therapist with a lot of this, but she rightfully guided me to also being better able to express myself, my feelings, and organize my thoughts and life. I feel so fulfilled being able to help others that might be overwhelmed in a similar way, whether it's by listening, being a sounding board, or assistant in getting all the big, messy emotions and problems organized and broken down into more bite-size pieces. I try to make myself have fun when I work on myself, whether through rewarding breaks or decorating my lists and planners put together, and hope it is for anyone that sits down with me; it is much less daunting that way, and more rewarding.
Healing from porn dependence with compassion
Mary A.
Self-control
Pornography
+2
I spent over 35 years using porn and, for most of my life, I couldn’t stop. It was something I hid, justified, and returned to whenever I felt overwhelmed, disconnected, or alone. I didn’t realize how much it shaped my self-esteem, my intimacy, and the kind of partners I chose—including partners who also struggled with porn addiction. For years, I felt trapped in a cycle I couldn’t break. What finally changed was learning how my nervous system worked, healing the emotional wounds I kept soothing with distraction, and rebuilding real connection with myself. I stopped through daily regulation, accountability, and replacing the coping pattern—not through shame, fear, or willpower. Now I help others find that same freedom, clarity, and self-respect without judgment or pressure.
Overcoming alcohol use to numb emotional distress

Alcohol use
In my teens and early twenties, I often used alcohol as a way to manage anxiety and emotional pain. I relied on alcohol to get through stress, sadness, or moments of self-doubt. Over time, my drinking began to affect my relationships and how I showed up in my community. Everything shifted when I met my husband, who gently but honestly pointed out how alcohol was interfering with my life. That moment led me to seek out a therapist who specialized in alcohol abuse—and what made it powerful was that she had her own lived experience. With her support, I began to understand the deeper emotional roots of my drinking. I slowly rewired how I handled strong emotions, and as I stepped away from alcohol, I noticed a real improvement in how I connected with others and how I felt about myself.
Self-transformation and tools to move from depression toward joy
Ning B.
Inner peace
Hi! I have been on a self-transformation journey for the last 10 years! I never could have fathomed where I am now. My old self feels like a distant memory, yet I still struggle with old habits and patterns that pop back up. It is an endless journey of improvement, learning, and striving. I take it one day at a time with the goal of progressing to a higher state. I want to help people that may be where I was a few years ago, or share my journey with those on the same path. As a teenager, I was very lost in rebellion, drugs, and insecurity. In my 20's, my life was plagued with depression, anxiety, and control issues. I gave birth to my daughter at 32 and that is when my transformation began. I discovered conscious parenting experts and constantly read articles and books, and listened to podcasts. It led me to other authors, experts, and spiritual gurus. For the last 5 years I have practiced yoga and meditation. These tools and lifestyle changes have helped me recreate who I am!

Calming fears of looming economic collapse
Drew P.
Anxiety
I’m the guy who sold his agency before the AI tide crested, not because I’m risk-averse, but because I felt called to build alternatives to extraction. Oh, and I learned to write poetry, break free from T.V. got baptized, and now struggle with finding people to help. Let me help you! I do deep research, turn chaos into sharp playbooks, pressure-test assumptions, and ship tiny proofs that real people can touch. I’ve broken free from pornography and stimulant abuse, and I’m learning to unclench—practicing rest, lowering the voltage, reclaiming attention—while still staring down what looks like a looming economic unravelling that I both dread and prepare for. I train my body, cultivate community, and prefer barter-like reciprocity to metrics theater. I’m suspicious of hype, committed to candor, and more interested in building quiet retreat.
Overcoming habits and building your best self
Hannah E.
Habit building
For a long time I relied upon others for a sense of belonging and inclusion. All of the events I attended involved alcohol somehow. I was a heavy drinker. I didn’t have a self-care routine or many healthy coping skills. I second guessed myself. But then I decided I wanted a better life. I was tired of waking up with hangovers and telling myself, “I can’t keep doing this”. I felt awful about all of the weight I gained. I decided to commit to change. I changed the places I went, the activities I attended, and the friends I socialized with. I now have a deep mind-body connection, trust my inner knowing, and don’t use substances to seek pleasure or avoid pain. And I can help you do it, too.
Finding balance after work obsession

Burnout
Boundaries
When I was a nurse for 33 years, I became a workaholic. I thought the hospital could not function without me. I often took my work home, calling back to the hospital, checking on patients. My family, life and family suffered because of that I paid more attention to my work than my family, which eventually resulted in a divorce and custody battle. I can help you know what’s important in your life.
Social media clarity and overthinking reset
Sabina B.
Social media can chipper at some of the loudest parts of our minds, the comparison, the questioning, the bombardment of information, the overthinking, the pressure to be “on.” I’ve lived through intense moments where the noise of the online world drowned out my own voice, where a single scroll shifted my mood, and where overthinking made everything confusing. What helped me was learning how to quiet the noise without disappearing, and how to use social media in ways that supported me rather than drained me. By lowering stimulation and using creativity instead of pressure, my relationship with the online world became more sustainable, clearer and less noisy. Together, we’ll explore how to create a balanced relationship with social media. One where you can express, connect, and be inspired without losing yourself.
How to play life your way and goof off with the universe

Social connection

One of my biggest wins in the Game of Life was tossing out the wannabe rulebook like a slam dunk while simultaneously debunking it. I’ve been playing life on “light” mode and somehow getting away with it—sometimes it’s my calm center that lets me spot the comedy in the tragedies. I had to unlearn all the rules to create my own rulebook: reverently irreverent, a little messy at times, but perfectly tuned to my life. I read signs, take guidance from spirits and angels, receive messages as a channeler/medium about what’s coming next, and have a zillion playful rituals that make engaging with this world a joy. Call me a shaman if you like—it’s a role I love, not a title. I play two main games: one, I fill my day with wins by stacking microgames in my favor and leaning into the parts meant for me; two, I reframe tasks I dislike into opportunities to shine my own light.
