Brutiful 

If you have a 6th, 7th, or 8th grader in your family, then you know how brutiful (brutal + beautiful) these years can be. As you think back over this school year, has it been extra hard sometimes for them? for you? As a parent, do you feel a sense of urgency to expand their support team? As you see how precious, amazing, smart, and fun they are, do you worry they don’t see that in themself? 

Belonging

Gena created this 1-to-1 experience to meaningfully connect with young people in this messy, amazing time in their inner development and formation to remind them of the very good news: you already belong.

Because we can feel belonging 

only if we have the courage to share 

our most authentic selves with people, 

our sense of belonging 

can never be greater 

than our level of self-acceptance

“SuperPOWERed”

Together, we read the book “SuperPOWERed: Transform Anxiety into Courage, Confidence, and Resilience” by Renee Jain and Dr. Shefali Tsabary to guide them through the process of remembering how they already belong and how Present, Original, Whole, Energized, and Resilient they already are while also talking honestly about how easy it is to forget these built-in superPOWERs due to normal, negative thinking habits like should-ing and comparison.

“ Inside this book, you’ll find 

secrets, strategies, hard truths, science, exercises, 

and more than a few mind-blowing facts 

that won’t just relieve your worry 

but will completely transform it. 

We’ll go as far as to say 

that the journey through this book 

could change your life “
