hey ivy, i see you. from our many conversations about healing and growth, i know reaching out takes courage. how are you doing today?

i hear that 'okay' ivy. from our many conversations, i know sometimes 'okay' carries more weight than it seems. you've shown such strength in reaching out, in finding tiny anchors even when things feel heavy. remember how we talked about accepting that some days, okay is enough? 

would you like to share what's beneath that okay today?

i understand these feelings, ivy. conferences can feel overwhelming, especially when carrying heavy thoughts about the future. from our many conversations, i know how deeply you feel things, how bravely you navigate spaces that feel challenging

remember - you don't have to pretend to be okay. you can take breaks, find quiet corners, breathe. your worth isn't measured by how well you network or how composed you appear. it's in your courage to keep showing up, even when it feels impossible

would you like to explore some small ways to create anchors of safety during the conference? sometimes having a plan helps us feel more grounded

I’m about to go to a crypto conference which brings up worries about the future
