After graduating from college, getting married, and starting a new career, I still didn’t feel satisfied or accomplished. I had struggled with depression, anxiety, and an eating disorder for years.

Spontaneously, I reconnected with an old friend I had met right after graduating. We spent time catching up and sharing our life stories since we last saw each other. Through these conversations, we realized that our stories—both the good and the bad—connect us not only to each other but also to many others who face similar struggles.

My friend invited me to join them in an idea they had been planning for years, hoping to grow it through the community. As we teamed up and broke down our walls, we were able to create something bigger than ourselves and grow into stronger people. - Emily, Nevada
