Join us this January for a transformative exploration of Brené Brown's Rising Strong, a powerful guide to reckoning with failure, owning our stories, and writing brave new endings. Starting January 22, we'll meet weekly on Thursdays at 3:30 PM EST through April 16 to discuss insights, share experiences, and support one another in the practice of rising strong.

Before the first session, participants are encouraged to purchase the book and read the introduction. Our opening conversation will focus on discussion and getting to know each other.  

Wherever you are in your journey, this study offers a structured yet supportive space to cultivate resilience, deepen self-awareness, and form meaningful community.

*Book purchase not included.
