Remember the days before dating, marriage, kids and health issues? You know, life before you were bombarded with disappointments, putting others before yourself and forgetting about things that we need to do for our own selves? Yeah, I'm talking to you! You, that unique individual.
I know that you daydream wishing that you can go back to that time, but how do you get back there? It is a process, having to understand and re-learn what our own needs are. Yes I know, you have family and friends that you can turn to, but wouldn't it be nice to have others you can turn to, like being a part of a community? A community of people that can support you, people who are like you and who have been influenced and experienced common themes in life.
I have built that community by creating a group called LevelUp - Ladies Night. The concept comes from when we meet up with our girlfriends to hang out, and talk about different topics or just "shoot the shit" over food and drinks. We will meet three times a year in the GTA to discuss different issues that affect us daily; how we can try to manage and cope the daily stressors that we encounter or even manage our own individual needs (ie. self reflection; anxiety; fear, etc). Each event will have a specific topic to discuss or a variety of topics. This is a non-judgemental, free space and friendly environment, where we can come and feel free. It is open to all ages (19+) and all ethnicities.
Please check back regularly for updates on the next event and the topic of discussion.
