Peer Support & Professional Boundaries
- This is a space for community connection and peer support
- Focus on presence over problem-solving, trusting that witnessing is more powerful than fixing
- Practice discernment in both giving and receiving support
Tips for honoring boundaries: While some members may be coaches or practitioners, this space is not for therapy or professional advice. For mental health support, please reach out to licensed professionals—community hosts can provide referrals if needed.
The Art of Sharing Stories
- Share freely from your own experience and learning
- Allow others to tell their own stories in their own time
- When referring to shared experiences, focus on your own insights and learnings—themes and takeaways rather than specific exchanges
- Honor the privacy of others in your life, even when their stories intersect with yours
Tips for protecting privacy: Omit identifying details about others. For workplace stories, speak to the learning without revealing company or colleague details. For family or relationships, use general terms like “a family member” or “someone close to me”. When in doubt, get explicit permission.
Co-Creating Trust
- What’s shared here stays here
- What’s learned here leaves here
- Private messages and any content (tangible or intangible) require explicit permission
- We all only share materials that we have the copyright or explicit permission to share
- We all retain the ownership to any materials that we share (per our terms of use)
Tips for maintaining trust: No screenshots or sharing of posts outside this space. Honor confidentiality even in private conversations with other members.
