I came across this during a training and immediately thought: THIS. ❤️
Third space.
A place outside traditional systems where hierarchy falls away, lived experience matters, and people learn, heal, and grow together.
I had never heard it described this way, but it put language to so much of what we’re building at The Happier Life Project.
Recovery doesn’t only happen in treatment. Sometimes it happens over coffee, in conversation, through connection, laughter, movement, service, or simply being with someone who can say, “I’ve been there too.”
People need a place to belong.
People need a third space.
This one is coming home with me. ❤️
