What we’re about
Welcome Supporters of Women in Manchester and beyond!
Welcome to our community – a sanctuary where we come together to uplift, empower, and thrive!
We defeat loneliness and fear, so women can thrive.
We provide support, guidance and opportunities to connect, build self esteem, and learn new skills in a safe and supportive space.
Here, women can go from surviving to thriving, and reach their full potential.
Join us, and let's thrive together!
The purpose of this group is to join empowered women interested in empowering other women. We also hold mixed-gender events periodically, and welcome Empowering Men at these events. Learn more about us here: www.womenempoweredmcr.org.
Majority of successful women have made it through many obstacles to become successful. It is not easy to reach the top and many of us have received help and support from other empowered women. Our goal is to put our minds, energy, and love together and support women. This is a safe and supportive space for women. Please join us! Let's support each other! 😊

Is something holding you back?
Are you confused or unclear about what you should do next?
Is there something you need specific advice and guidance on?
Do you feel stuck in a relationship? Are you deeply unhappy but also afraid of leaving? Are you worried about your kids or about cultural norms or your image?
Regardless of what you are facing, I would like to help you find the strength and the right resources to move forward.
About me
This session will be run by myself, the founder of this group, Dr. Rokhsareh (Roxy) Vahid.
If you have attended our events, you will know my story. You will know that I've "made it" and I'm intimately familiar with hard work, loneliness, desperation, and hopelessness. I know what it takes to start over and achieve things that seem impossible. I have had to learn to be resilient and resourceful and think outside the box.
If you feel stuck, I want to try to help you figure out a way and break the chains that may be holding you back. If you are in that dark lonely confused place and you feel scared and stuck, I know how you feel. I know it can feel like a mammoth task, an impossible task to get through it all. I know how much strength and determination and courage is required to break the chains that are formed not just by our own thoughts but also by our circumstances. I am not here to tell you what to do. I am here to help you clarify your thoughts, possibly make some suggestions, give you hope, and try to help you move forward one way or another.
Or, maybe you are already considering a plan of action and your future and you just want to have a chat about it. Well, I am here to listen, give you my thoughts, and help you if I can.
When & Where
• Online via Zoom
• Time to be Booked at https://calendly.com/rokhsareh
• One-to-one sessionOverall Structure
The sessions will be informal and individualised to each person. I will listen to you and try to help you find a way forward.
Everything you share during the session will be completely confidential. As an American lawyer, I am very much used to keeping things confidential and, therefore, you should have no concerns or worries about confidentiality.
If you attend more sessions, I will try to assist you with creating a plan of action for your personal journey. And, if you require assistance which I cannot provide during the session, I will try to find answers/solutions for you after the session and I will get in touch with you.
My goal for these sessions is to help you feel supported and never alone and afraid.
Cost
This session requires a donation of £80.00 to WE MCR which is a non-profit entity. All funds go towards supporting women.
