Courageous Connections
a healing space for women
Beginning September 12th @ 1:30 pm MST (Phoenix)
Healing happens in connection
Courageous Connections is that space.
Think of it as a gathering with some new friends, and maybe some old ones, at a cozy little coffee shop (or your favorite spot to connect).
A space where everyone is welcome and encouraged to share.
We'll have Q&A, a little grounding together, and connection.
If you've ever joined me live on YouTube or Facebook for Q&A, then you know a bit about what to expect.
I could never have imagined that knowing I am not alone would be so important. The knowledge I have learned from Peggy and the questions asked by others in group have been so empowering. The community and support we share offers much comfort and challenges the old messages of not fitting in and not being good enough. Groups would not be my natural habitat so I would encourage everyone to give it a go and stick with it long enough to see those small shifts begin.

I have participated in many of Peggy's online groups. I've really gained and healed in the company of many wonderful women on a similar healing journey. The support, guidance, and mentoring from Peggy is simply amazing. It certainly can feel vulnerable. However, I've learned that allowing myself to be vulnerable and show up as truly authentic is where deep healing can and does take place. I also found myself recognizing that in a safely held community, I have felt that I belonged.

What to Expect...
We'll meet monthly on Zoom for approximately 90 minutes on the second Thursday of each month at 1:30 MST. It will be webinar style, so you won't be on camera. 😉
We'll do a little grounding together to settle your nervous system and become present in the space we co-create. Then we'll move into Q&A where I'll answer all your questions.
If you aren't able to join live, you can submit your question ahead of the call. You'll have 2 weeks to watch the replay.
You just know what to say, when to say things, and what to say to each one of us which touches our hearts and souls. This is so beneficial to the growth, development, and understanding of each person who participated. I thank you and appreciate you...I am healing every day thanks to your incredible guidance.

I never thought I would be participating in a group, However, overcoming the feelings associated with participating in group allowed me to recognize strengths I never thought I had before. Thank you! Peggy, for allowing me to accomplish this goal. I'm proud to share this experience with my therapist next time we meet.

Courageous Connections is a monthly membership. You have the option to pay monthly or for 3 months at one time. Your credit card will automatically be charged (monthly or quarterly) until you cancel.
You helped me understand and really feel the impact of shame, the importance of self-compassion, that it was never my fault, that I am worthy of love, that my anger was validated and even necessary, that healing is possible, and that I'm not a failure when I need to return to therapy. You helped me find acceptance and peace of mind but most important of all to me was that I finally didn't feel alone. I will always love being a part of this community and I'm really looking forward to another live Q&A.

Simply an amazing experience. I'm so happy to have had this healing experience with such a supportive and kind group of women. Peggy is an amazingly kind, caring, and supportive guide on this healing journey. Don't allow yourself to miss out through fear or financial cost. This was a superb healing experience.

Are there specific healing practices or techniques integrated into the sessions?
An interesting thing about this healing journey is that almost everything done with conscious intention is a healing practice. 😉 While this is not meant to be a deep "healing group", the very nature of connecting in this type of space is healing.And, knowing you're not alone is one of the most important experiences along this journey.
Depending on time, there may be additional practices for connection, grounding, or healing.

What qualifies you to provide information about healing childhood trauma?
I'm so glad you asked. 😊 There is a lot of great information out there but, there is also a lot that has the potential to harm instead of help.
I've been a childhood trauma therapist (clinical license retired) for 20+ years. I'm also a survivor who's gone through my own healing process and guided hundreds of others on their healing journey... dismantling beliefs of unworthiness and shame; building and sustaining healthy boundaries, reconnecting to the truth of their worthiness and power. (Thousands if you count content shared on video platforms 😉)
With my personal and professional experience, I've developed a deep understanding of the myriad ways we are impacted by childhood trauma and the emotional responses associated with them. This expertise enables me to navigate sensitive topics with understanding, compassion, sensitivity, and insight.
