The Renewal Space

Do you move through your days feeling everything too intensely—other people’s moods, the noise, the pressure—until your body feels flooded and you have nowhere to put it?

This weekly circle is for the people who feel everything — the ones who absorb the tone in a room, pick up tension before anyone else notices it, and leave ordinary conversations feeling drained. If the pace of the world feels wrong for you, too loud, too fast, too sharp, this is a space where your way of being actually makes sense.

Your sensitivity isn’t a weakness. It’s a form of intelligence, the kind that catches what others miss, feels what’s unspoken, and reacts because your system refuses to ignore what’s real. But when you’re surrounded by people who don’t feel as deeply or as quickly as you do, that intelligence can turn into exhaustion, self-doubt, or thinking you’re “the problem.”
Here, you don’t need to tone yourself down or make yourself easier for the world to digest.

This circle is a place where your sensitivity is seen for what it actually is: a highly tuned way of perceiving the world.
You can bring the overwhelm.
You can bring the intensity.
You can bring the part of you that feels out of place everywhere else.
Nothing about you is “too much” here.
This isn’t about managing your sensitivity or fixing it — it’s about understanding it, working with it, and letting it exist without apology.

Carol brings more than 20 years of experience working with individuals and groups in mental-health and recovery settings. She has taught in psychiatric wards, facilitated programs in drug and alcohol rehabilitation centres, and volunteered with the Crisis Centre supporting people during moments of acute emotional strain.
Her approach is both compassionate and straightforward. She cares deeply, but she doesn’t sugar-coat. She helps people understand what their anxiety is communicating, rather than treating it as something to hide or fight against.

Carol has guided hundreds of people in groups and one-on-one settings, always with the same intention: create a space where people can stop pretending, they’re okay, take a breath, and reconnect with what’s real. No performance. No spiritual bypassing. No “just think positive.” Just honest, grounded support.

What need:
A quiet spot, something to sip if you like, and whatever level of participation feels right for you.

Are you living with a constant hum of anxiety in your body—those what-ifs, worst-case scenes, and quiet panics you hide so you don’t seem dramatic, weak, or “too much” to the people around you?

This 90-minute online group is a space to get support, connection, and tools to find more peace in your days. Whether you’ve been facing the challenges of anxiety alone for a long time or simply craving deeper connection with yourself and others—this space is for you.

What you call anxiety might actually be your body’s way of protecting you — tightening, bracing, overthinking, doing whatever it can to keep you safe. There’s wisdom inside those patterns, and they start to loosen when you’re not carrying them alone or pretending, they don’t exist.

This space is for you if:

• you’re exhausted from holding your anxiety in alone
• you’re looking for a place where you can be honest instead of “keeping it together”
• you want to understand why your anxiety shows up the way it does
• you want practical tools to interrupt spirals and regain your footing in real moments
• you miss meaningful connection and want a space where you don’t have to pretend
• you want support that doesn’t talk down to you, dismiss you, or demand positivity

There is no pressure to speak. You are enough just by showing up.
You don’t have to turn your camera on.
Just come as you are.

### About Your Facilitator

Care has spent two decades inside rooms most people never see — psychiatric wards, recovery centres, crisis lines — sitting with people in the rawest, most honest moments of their lives. That work taught her how anxiety really behaves, what pushes people into overwhelm, and what helps them find a way through it without shame or pressure.
Her facilitation is warm and human, but she doesn’t dance around the truth. She has a no-nonsense way of naming what’s happening beneath the surface so people can finally understand themselves instead of fighting their own reactions.
In both group spaces and one-on-one work, she brings a calm presence, clear boundaries, and an ability to help people feel less alone in what they’re carrying. Her approach is simple: meet people where they are, name what’s true, and offer tools that actually help in day-to-day life.
