-------------------------

Sometimes the things we enjoy change. A hobby we loved fades away. Something we never thought we'd like becomes our favorite part of the week. We discover a new strength, realize we're not as good at something as we thought, or find ourselves spending time with different people because of it. This Space is about making room for those changes, exploring what they've taught us, and recognizing that growing into new interests doesn't mean we've lost who we are. It might just mean we're getting to know ourselves a little better.

Transition moment: from defined to curious and playful.

Who Am I?
Claire (she/her) is a passionate advocate for refugees, immigrants, survivors of domestic and sexual violence, and queer communities. Originally from West Michigan and now living in Texas, she brings a trauma-informed lens to community building and believes deeply in the power of dignity, lived experience, and connection.

Living with chronic illness, she proudly claims her place in the “spoonie” world and values spaces where people can show up exactly as they are. She lives with her partner, their unimpressed cat, and a dog who runs the household.

She holds a B.S. in Psychology from Grand Valley State University and is here for the messy, deeply human work.

How Does it Work?
This is an open, guided discussion led by your Keeper, Claire. Each participant will have the opportunity to listen to and share experiences on well-being, emotions, and whatever else comes up during the session.

When and How Do We Meet?
We meet digitally to make participation easy for those with demanding schedules. Cameras are optional, and you’re welcome to join from wherever you are, even between shifts. We only ask that you find a private place to join or use headphones to help maintain the security of everyone present.
