WHAT WORKSHOP ATTENDEES ARE SAYING…

“Just honestly, Jess's approach made the material so easy to digest and apply - really de-mystified what has traditionally been a conversation wrapped with so much emotional and moral and ethical baggage. That context is important but it also made it hard to know how to practically step forward and make changes that felt doable.”
