Dear Younger Me is a ONLINE EVENT. We will meet via ZOOM from 2-9 PM Eastern on Friday, November 15, with a dinner break from 5-7 PM. Are you unable to join us in person for the entire event? No worries! The video content will be available after the live event.
Cost is $85. This cost includes access to a Facebook group for two months prior to the event where Heather will be sharing resources and content. Your registration includes Zoom sessions during the live event AND long term access to the videos afterwards.
Heather launched Held & Healed (a Facebook community) in September 2020. This group has grown to 4,000 members and we are healing, learning, loving, and growing together.
Over the past four years, she has come to know and love Sarah, Megan, and Lauren. She counts them as trusted friends and confidants. As these friendships have grown, she has collaborated with them in various ways and is excited to create the Dear Younger Me event.
Many of the survivors in our community have experienced abuse in our childhood homes, churches, and marriages. During our time together, we will explore what it means to extend compassion to our younger selves. What were the things we needed to hear when we were little girls, teenagers, and young wives? We'll replace the lies we have believed for so long with powerful truths. During Dear Younger Me, we will share snippets of our stories. We'll explore attachment styles, parentification, reparenting, forms of abuse, purity culture, and so much more. We will offer tools and resources to help you love on and heal your younger self.
Our featured speakers for Dear Younger Me are Heather Elizabeth (Held & Healed) Sarah McDugal (Wilderness to Wild), Megan Owen (Mountain City Christian Counseling), and Lauren Smallcomb (Flourish Therapy).
The event is hosted by Heather Elizabeth. Heather is a survivor, speaker, writer, and coach.
