Well, we pulled off the dragon boat festival and the Englewood block party, but I just have to say I have so much gratitude for all of our volunteers that showed up and made today happen. To my daughter who took the lead, so proud of you. Could not have done any of this without any of you.  We are going to change the ripple effect and help so many women .

You don’t have to share your entire story to begin finding your way back to yourself.

The Back to You Workshop is a gentle online space for women who feel overwhelmed, disconnected or stuck in survival mode.

Together, we explore how to:

💜 Recognize what you are feeling
💜 Identify your needs and boundaries
💜 Rebuild trust in yourself
💜 Reconnect with what matters to you
💜 Choose one manageable next step

No camera is required, and you never have to share more than feels comfortable.

Join us online every Wednesday at 8:00 p.m.

Have you become so focused on taking care of everything and everyone that you’ve lost touch with yourself?

Five possible signs:

💜 You automatically say, “I’m fine.”
💜 You know what everyone else needs but not what you need.
💜 You can’t remember what you enjoy.
💜 Small decisions feel overwhelming.
💜 You feel guilty when you rest or set a boundary.

You are not broken, and you do not need to reinvent your entire life. You may simply need space to hear yourself again.

Join us for the online Back to You Workshop, every Wednesday at 8:00 p.m. No camera or personal sharing is required.

🎓✨ BIG NEWS FOR THE DIAMOND PLACE! ✨💜

We are beyond grateful and excited to share that The Diamond Place has partnered with the University of Denver’s graduate program to provide internship opportunities for graduate students to become part of our work!

This partnership means so much to us.

As The Diamond Place continues to grow, we believe deeply in creating spaces where emerging professionals can gain meaningful, hands-on experience while contributing to work centered around healing, empowerment, community connection, and breaking cycles of trauma.

Our interns will have the opportunity to learn alongside us, bring fresh perspectives and ideas, and help us continue building programs and resources that make a real difference in the lives of the people we serve.

We are incredibly thankful to the University of Denver for believing in this partnership and for giving us the opportunity to help support the next generation of changemakers. 🎓

There is something pretty special about watching The Diamond Place grow from an idea rooted in helping people heal into a place where others can also learn, lead, serve, and grow.

We cannot wait to welcome our future interns to The Diamond Place family. 💜💎

You don’t have to have your entire life figured out before taking your next step.

Sometimes uncertainty is simply the space between who you were and who you are becoming.

Start with what you know today. What do you need more of? What are you ready to release? What is one small decision that feels like yours?

Your next step doesn’t have to be perfect. It only needs to belong to you. 💜

Join us for Permission to Dream: A Back to You Retreat—a restorative afternoon created to help women pause, reconnect and explore what could come next.

Survival mode doesn’t always look like falling apart.

Sometimes it looks like working, parenting, answering messages and taking care of everyone...while quietly feeling exhausted, overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself.

You can be strong and still need support. You can be functioning and still deserve a place to pause.

The Back to You Workshop is a gentle online space to slow down, reconnect and take one small step toward yourself.

🧭 Creating clear, manageable next steps
💜 Having a safe space to talk and feel heard
🌱 Rediscovering who you are outside of survival mode

🎙️ NEW PODCAST EPISODE: When Your Brain Goes Into Survival Mode — Can AI Help Find a Way Out?

This conversation is incredibly close to my heart.

When someone has experienced trauma, the challenge isn't always knowing that help exists. Sometimes your brain is simply working so hard to survive that figuring out what to do next feels impossible.

Where do I go?
Who do I call?
What am I eligible for?
What do I do first?
And why do I have to tell my story all over again?

I joined The Synthetic Echo Podcast to talk about what happens when trauma, technology, and access to resources collide and a question I've become deeply passionate about:

What if technology could reduce the burden instead of adding to it?

We talked about survival mode, rebuilding, and how AI may be able to help people move from overwhelmed and stuck toward clarity, connection, and possibility.

This is also the heart behind the work we're building at The Diamond Place: creating tools and support that meet people where they actually are... especially when navigating life feels hardest.

If this conversation resonates with you, I'd love for you to listen, share it, and tell me what you think. 💎
