💙One Brave Thing: Find Your Reset

When emotions run high, give yourself a moment to come back to yourself.

Try one small reset:
🌿 Take a few slow breaths.
🚶 Move your body.
🧘 Ground yourself in the present.
🎨 Make something.
📝 Write it down.

You don’t need a perfect self-care plan. Start with one thing that helps you feel a little more grounded.

💙 Voices of Change: Women Who Show Up

Change doesn’t happen because one person has all the answers. It happens when people choose to show up with courage, passion and a willingness to lead.

Today, we’re celebrating a group of women who do exactly that.

These volunteers advocate for the wellbeing of survivors, lend their voices to conversations that matter, and help create a community where survivors are supported, believed and never left to carry the weight alone.

They bring different experiences, perspectives and talents to the work. But they share something important: a commitment to making a difference.

Their leadership reminds us that advocacy isn’t always about having the loudest voice. Sometimes it’s about listening. Showing up. Asking what’s needed. Speaking up when it matters. And choosing, again and again, to be part of the change.

We are grateful for these women and for the courage, passion and heart they bring to Brave Step. 💙

This is what a community of changemakers looks like.

💙 One Brave Thing: Notice Your Early Warning Signs

Anger doesn’t always arrive at full volume.

Maybe your shoulders tense. Your heart beats faster. You get quiet. Your thoughts start racing. You feel the urge to leave, argue or shut down.

Notice your signals before the intensity rises.

Today, pay attention to one way your body, emotions or behavior tells you that anger is building.

Awareness gives you more choices about what comes next. 💙

💙 Entendiendo y Abordando el Machismo en Comunidades Latinas

¿Cómo pueden las expectativas culturales influir en la manera en que entendemos nuestras experiencias, relaciones y recuperación?

En esta sesión, exploraremos cómo el machismo y el marianismo pueden afectar a personas sobrevivientes de agresión sexual, violencia o abuso. También hablaremos de cómo la cultura puede ser una poderosa fuente de fortaleza y de cómo ciertas creencias o presiones pueden dificultar la recuperación.

Acompáñanos para desarrollar una mayor comprensión de estas influencias y aprender formas prácticas de apoyarte a ti mismo/a o a alguien que quieres.

How can cultural expectations shape the way we understand our experiences, relationships and recovery?
