Drumroll Please...

Let us introduce you to our newest development…THE TRAILBLAZER COLLECTIVE.

As a therapist, I often struggled intensely when clients would sit on my couch having made so much individual progress but still feeling so isolated and stuck in how to build community. It was a problem I couldn’t really help with because the outside variables were immune to the therapy room safety. The biggest issue was that all the research and understanding of how people truly transform from trauma is now steeped in the idea that community is vital. There’s a reason they say healed people, heal people and transformed people, transform people. So there sat my most significant challenge…how do we build community that is safe, vulnerable, supportive, and uplifting for people who have been hurt in the past by the very thing they are seeking: people?

This started my journey toward building communities in person through groups and meetings and let’s say it was…rough. People are interested, but hesitant and I learned very quickly that sign-ups don’t necessarily mean show ups. But the greater need for creating thriving and healthy community remains! As August and I talked again and again about this problem, it became clear we needed to find a way to emphasize the importance of community through our work with AllMinds. Our first idea was journey book clubs, where people also working through our journey books like The Trailblazer Series meet in their areas to talk about progress, struggles, and growth with each other (we haven’t forgotten about this one, it’s still going to happen eventually!). But now we’ve landed here....

So what is The Trailblazer Collective? It’s taking our biggest growth series and instead of just getting the books to work on alone, we are here to support the journey in a community-based way! It’s a membership that includes all the book but adds a little bit more so you feel encouraged, uplifted, and inspired to continue with this incredible journey called life. We’ve added more resources through our Member Library, live events, discounts, and more to this special group dedicated to becoming more than we were told we could be. We’re providing a space where you can practice low-risk vulnerability with others, gain confidence, ask questions, and learn more as you blaze the trail on your personal growth. The Trailblazer Collective is the first step toward bridging the chasm between the need for community and the fear of it. 

We are so excited to begin this new journey with you. We can’t wait to see how this community flourishes and inspires amazing things in each member.
