An excellent investment of time

I have been in several Mens groups in my time and I have always been drawn to authenticity and men being REAL. By that I mean, saying exactly what is going on with you, even if it is negative. Matt keeps it real. I read some of his posts and they just resonated with me, so I joined his group. From there we connected 1:1 and I'm very glad to have him as part of my journey. He provides support where necessary but will also give it to you straight. This community will be a part of my journey for a long time to come. So if you are looking for a place to invest some time and have it well spent, you have arrived.

Space to vent in safe space

Matt is building a solid community based around shared experience, science, mindfulness and a support network. While it's early days for yhe community I feel the educational aspect is worth joining alone and the support from other members invaluabld.

Such an Empowering Space!

I love being part of this community which values authenticity while also holding space for safely exploring. Frameworks encouraging personal exploration without judgement from ourselves (our worst critics) or others. Alli is funny, raw and so profound

The Village Becomes Your Home

What I love about Written Identity, or "the village" as it is lovingly referred to, is that the founder, Alli, genuinely cares about the people in this group. She isn't looking to grow the village just so she can profit; it's about connection, the writing journey, and being able to express your feelings, no matter how ugly they may feel in the moment. The village is also special because of the amount of support. There is no competition here; only love and cheerleading. Anyone looking to rebuild from a place of sadness, depression or complete devastation will find "Written Identity" a safe place to land and start over. Zero Burnout, zero nervous system overloads here. But having said that, you don't HAVE to be sad/mad/burned out to benefit from the village. Literally anyone who just wants to write but might need prompting or reminders or someone to say "your voice is valid" will also love Written Identity. You can come as you are, and we will love the entirety of you in the village :)

Find Community & Yourself

From the very first prompt to now, this community has been such a beneficial place for me to learn, express and grow. Alli has created a wonderful space and environment to share that feels like a real community despite being all virtual. Written Identity has helped me to step into my purpose and stand true in my identity. Alli’s 1:1 mentorship has also helped me tremendously in my pursuit of writing professionally. Her insight and knowledge has been an asset to my growth. If you’re looking for a sense of community and an introspective approach to writing and finding your voice, this is the place to be!
