I'm planning a 2026 self-compassion party for LGBTQIA+ BIPOC! (It will be virtual! )

3-16 people; convo/games/writing; drop-ins okay!

Want to RSVP? Drop your favorite emoji or “SC” ( for self-compassion ) and I'll send you the brief invite form!

Conversely, spend as little time as possible. possible with transphobic people.

Charisma is a side benefit of inner work and growth, and congruence.

It's a resilient, assertive thing to do.
It can help you get what you want, both big and little desires. ( End of transcript )
