Life is Easier Together
Monthly conversations about how to take care of ourselves as we're taking care of those around us Join UsLearn More
What do we talk about?
The topics change each month, but all focus on the ways to maintain our own strength and mental health while showing up for the people who need us. Sample topics include what it means to hold space and the role of art in self-care (with a special shout out to ’90s hip hop).
How does it work?
We meet the second Friday of every month, at 12pm Eastern, over Zoom, for one hour. The first 20 minutes or so are a short presentation on the topic for the month, then we open up for discussion. You can take part in the conversation as much or as little as you like. Before the meeting, you’ll get an email with the topic and some questions to think about. After the meeting, you’ll get another email with a quick summary of the conversation and any follow-up information.
Do i need this?
We spend a lot of our life taking care of those around us–at work, at home, in our families and our communities. Eventually, it takes a toll. Over time, it starts to affect us in shorter tempers, illness, insomnia, and more. One hour a month to think about how you’re taking care of yourself? You can give yourself that.
What does it cost?
It’s free. Promise.
