The Courage Collective
A space to explore vulnerability, resilience, and wholehearted living in a therapeutic community
Why Group Work?
Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens in connection. While individual therapy provides deep, one-on-one exploration, group work offers something just as powerful: the opportunity to grow alongside others who truly get it.
Our groups are experiential, skill-building, and deeply transformative. Guided by research-backed frameworks like Brené Brown’s Daring Way™ and Rising Strong™, each group is designed to help you build resilience, develop self-compassion, and navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and confidence.
Group work might be right for you if:
✔️ You crave a sense of belonging and want to connect with others in a safe, supportive space.
✔️ You’re ready to work through perfectionism, self-doubt, or burnout with guided tools and reflection.
✔️ You want tangible skills to help you show up with more courage, authenticity, and self-trust.
✔️ You learn best through experience, discussion, and interactive exercises.
Each group is small, intimate, and designed for meaningful connection. You’ll engage in guided discussions, creative exercises, and evidence-based practices to help you move forward with strength and clarity.

Why Brené Brown’s Work?
At the heart of personal growth is one essential truth: we are wired for connection. Yet so many of us struggle with perfectionism, self-doubt, and the fear of not being enough. Brené Brown’s research on vulnerability, courage, and resilience gives us the language and tools to break free from these cycles and start living with greater authenticity.
Her work isn’t just about “feeling better,” it’s about learning to show up fully, even when life is hard. Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, recovering from burnout, or simply longing to feel more confident in who you are, these groups offer a research-backed roadmap to lasting change.
Through our specially curated groups, we dive deep into the patterns that hold us back and practice skills that help us move forward—with more courage, self-compassion, and connection.
