Crying With Pride: Reclaiming Sadness
Our culture tells us that true wellness means being happy all the time, but what happens when you're just genuinely sad? We're challenging the relentless pursuit of cheerfulness to explore why feeling "sad about being sad" is often worse than the sadness itself. Join us for a deeply honest conversation about reclaiming sadness as a legitimate, even exquisite, emotion. You'll discover simple yet revolutionary ways to stop judging yourself for what you feel and embrace the full spectrum of your humanity—without apology or shame.
