Changing Perspectives with Jenni Brennan

Sometimes you just need someone to sit beside you in the dark.

Rebel Thriver

The way you speak to yourself matters more than anything.

That inner voice shapes your boundaries, confidence, and healing.

Speak with kindness.
Show up with honesty.

The most important relationship you’ll ever have is the one within.

July marks the launch of our RESIST campaign—created for the women in our community who are rising against abuse, violence, and oppression, reclaiming their voices, and refusing to disappear.

When one woman rises, we all rise.

Your tax-deductible donation keeps our mission alive—making trauma-informed programs, group coaching, peer-to-peer support, and our private online community, the Village, accessible to every woman who needs it.

Every act of healing is an act of resistance.
Your support helps her rise, rebuild, and reclaim her life.
This is how we change the world—one woman at a time.

➡️ You can donate via the top link in Linktree (in bio) or by clicking the fundraising button at the top of our page titled Domestic Violence.

I'm not called to fix, save or control anyone.

I'm called to be present.

Sit with the hurt, listen to the concerned, not look away from the painful.

That's hard but that's where my practice is.

Loving others doesn't involve my control, that's based on fear.

It's hard. I'm still working on this with my children but they have a God and I'm not it.

Rise above it 🖤

Behavior is how people feel about themselves and it has nothing to do with me.

I used to walk around this world wounded by everyone and everything. I'm grateful to be responsible for my own joy today.

Still working on it.

Sometimes I can get so overwhelmed with too many things happening all at once and it can seem insurmountable.

I was told, take it easy, one step at a time. I don't have to solve all the things at once.

Breathe, pray, seek wise counsel but don't you dare give up.

Not only do you have permission to fully feel your feelings.

It is your sacred duty to do so. ❤

What does that mean to me?

I'm going to stay in the day, sometimes in the hour by being present.

I can get overwhelmed with fears of the future or depressed at the mistakes of the past. Centering myself in what I'm doing in the now helps.

I'm still working on it but I'm getting better at it.
