What mentees are saying

The following are messages from survivors in our mentorship program.
The prior gaslighting cut my confidence down to brain fog that would affect even my motor skills. I got that back. I have clear focus and sharp critical thinking again, successfully meeting complex problems with innovative solutions. Therapy didn’t help me get that back. The empowerment this program was built for did.
I feel like I have a therapist but for my finances
[I got] reassurance that I can reach financial stability for myself and children.
I don't feel so alone when it comes to making budget or financial decisions for me and my kids.
At the sessions end, I felt worthy and capable from her validation of character and thoughtful words of encouragement.
[My mentor] was able to help me keep myself accountable. Investing in myself is self care. Getting my resume updated, is showing myself self care. Going for that desired job(s) is showing myself self care.
Knowing that [a good future] is possible and likely, it makes me appreciate the present moment that I get to make my own because I am not actively being forced into a state of reactivity by a mental sadist/emotional vampire anymore. I have the peace I need for the mindfulness I want.
[I] put my first $100 into a savings account!
