What weβre about
[This is a hybrid meetup -online and in person! π]
In love with personal development? In love with reading? Well, then, this is the group for you! This is a space for real and raw discussions, where you are invited to bring your whole self to the table, not just the 'good vibes only' version. Even if you feel like absolute crud on the day and just want to giggle at our lively discussion with your camera off, that's cool too π.
We discuss a featured personal development book every month and outline strategies for implementing key take-aways for the betterment of our own lives as well as for the lives of those around us.
Are you writing a personal development book? Well, this is a great opportunity to connect with a community of readers interested in the genre!
These meetings are facilitated by a full-time Life Coach (yours truly) and former university educator with over a decade of international experience in facilitating discussions across groups from various cultural backgrounds and beliefs. We value inclusivity π³οΈβππ³οΈββ§οΈβπ½π€πβ€, and insist on respect discussion of differing views.
Wanna suss me out ahead of time to see if we'll 'gel'? Then feel free to have a snoop here:

See all- It's Not You, by Dr. Ramani | This one's all about narcissism! π« π«Link visible for attendees
For 2025, we've moved from Wednesday to Saturday!* Also note: This is currently an online-only meeting, as I am now based in Vietnam!
Is the word 'narcissism' overused in the social media landscape? Probably. The overuse of therapy-speak can make it harder to find GOOD resources to navigate challenging relationships and other life events. So join us for meeting #44 to talk about narcissism using insights from someone considered the world's top expert on the subject, Dr Ramani Durvasula! Seriously, check out her Youtube videos π

Podcast: Thriving Between the Lines - Examining personal development books through the lens of intersectionalityFrom the book jacket:
Dealing with a narcissist is hard. One day their confidence and charisma pull you in, the next day they gaslight, wreck your self-confidence, and leave you wondering what you could have done differently. Clinical Psychologist and narcissism expert Dr Ramani is here to help.
Drawing on more than 20 years of studying, teaching, and helping people navigate the challenging landscape of narcissism, you'll learn how to:
- Spot the tell-tale signs of a narcissist
- Confront toxic cycles
- Protect your energy
- Create realistic boundaries
- Reclaim and embrace you true self
Packed with expert tips and detailed advice, this book will equip you with the tools to stop blaming yourself, regain your power, heal, and take back your life.
-----------At this meetup, we will discuss Dr Ramani's expert insights on how we can identify and heal from narcissistic behaviour as well as how these ideas may relate to our own lives. Love the book? Hate the book? No time to read the book? You're all welcome! #leisuretimeisaprivilege
Looking forward to seeing everyone π
