Being a mother four children, experiencing a move abroad, a divorce, removing myself from a stifling religious community and relocating back to an area that I have struggled to connect with has made a group like this priceless. These are massive life events, that affect us deeply and yet there is still so much shame, guilt, and concealment when we really need to feel all the feelings, be vulnerable and authentic and seek others that understand and can help provide support. The struggle of building a community of people that can help you navigate through life’s storms, challenges and our own evolution is compounded when we lose our ‘community.’ Raising Change Globally offers a place for us to find our people, take them with us wherever we go, at whatever stage we are in and connect in a way that is real and honest.
