I finally gave myself permission to reach out for professional group and one-on-one therapy. Over the years, they have shown me transformative mindset shifts, coping mechanisms, and the power of community. I don’t regret it for a minute, but there was still something missing.

I treasured being able to listen to others’ experiences; I felt less alone. However, whether in a group or one-on-one setting, I rarely felt enough comfort to openly share my experiences. At times there was this feeling of disconnection and loneliness.

This is why I built the Real Talk T.Y.M.E. community. It hurts my heart to see people struggling without a supportive community that can relate to their experiences. As a veteran and woman of color, I saw peers and coworkers isolating themselves instead of reaching out for what they need because of the lies in their minds saying “they’re going to judge you,” or “you can learn to fix this on your own.” Creating this close-knit community became a non-negotiable. This is a safe space for people to share their stories, experiences, and thoughts free of barriers, stereotypes, and judgment. I invite you to give yourself permission for admission. This community is intentional about showing love, support, gratitude, and positivity to everyone here. We are a family.

Together, we feel, heal, and deal. Real talk!
