What we’re about
❤️🩹 New Beginnings Relationship Support (SF) is a caring community for anyone going through a breakup or divorce—or simply looking to grow, heal, and build stronger relationships. Whether you're navigating grief, working through a major life transition, or wanting to show up more fully in your relationships, you’re welcome here.
🔷 We host weekly support meetings on Zoom every Wednesday evening from 7–9 pm (Pacific time). The first hour includes a video or short talk focused on personal growth, emotional healing, better communication, or understanding and managing the divorce process. The second hour is a confidential sharing circle, where participants are invited to have their cameras on to help create a safe, supportive environment. Meetings are no cost to participants, but donations via Venmo (@Amy-Papazian) are appreciated to help cover the time and care invested in preparing meaningful practical content. There's no charge to join the Meetup group itself.
🔷 We also host weekly one-hour walks (rain or shine) for Divorced Dads in San Mateo, CA. These walks offer a relaxed, low-pressure way to connect with others who understand what you're going through, while getting a bit of fresh air, movement, and enjoying a beautiful view of Crystal Springs Reservoir. There is no charge for our weekly walks.
❤️ We’d love for you to join us! Please make sure to turn ON Meetup notifications so you can stay updated on all our gatherings and events. We require a profile photo with your face visible for the safety of all.

See all- 💬 Mastering Self-Talk: Catch the Critic, Find Your Ally 💕Link visible for attendees
🗣️ What if the way you talk to yourself could change how you feel every day? Ever notice how the voice in your head can be way harsher than it needs to be?
In this session, we’ll watch four short, engaging videos that each bring a fresh perspective on self-talk—how to spot it, challenge it, and turn it into a source of support. We’ll talk about practical ways to quiet the critic and strengthen the ally inside you.
The first hour is all about the videos and discussion. The second hour is our usual confidential sharing circle. Come ready to listen, share, and leave feeling a little lighter.
✨ All are welcome — regardless of relationship status, timeline, or background. Come for the insights, stay for the connection. ❤️
