🌸 I regret that I am currently unavailable to take new member chats. If we have chatted in the past, you may leave me a message, however there may be some delay in my reply 🌸


Hi, I'm Faerie, 🧚‍♀️ & I'm glad you found me here on 7cups

I would like the opportunity to "hold your hand" through whatever subject you need help with, whether light or heavy. I will take the time to listen, without judgement.


I'm a verified listener here, in the "35+" age group, & I have experience working with adolescents & adults, (including LGBTQIA+), professionally, & in volunteer positions. I have experience with a wide range of topics, including family issues, relationship issues, dv, rape, abuse, painful breakups, disabilities, homelessness, chronic pain, addictions & other speed-bumps/road-blocks that life throws us, often when least expected.


I enjoy cooking, reading, painting (watercolors and sometimes acrylic), writing creatively, being independent, having picnics outside, music (of all different genres) & sci-fi, among many other things. Welcome! I look forward to meeting you!

...See more 🌷Hello, beautiful souls! 👋 Our weekly Women's Circle is happening Saturday, August 8th, 2026 at 10 am EDT in the Support Session Room for adults on 7 Cups. Topic: Unapologetically Female: Owning Our Space and Our Voice For so many of us, growing up meant learning to be small. We were taught to be polite, to not make waves, to smile when we were angry, and to apologize for taking up space. But there is a profound power in dropping the mask and showing up exactly as we are. This week, we gather to explore the liberation of being unapologetically female. We will talk about the fear of being "too much," the exhaustion of constantly shrinking to make others comfortable, and the courage it takes to finally speak our truth. You don't need permission to be loud, to be angry, or to take up room at the table. You just need to remember that your voice matters and your presence is valid. Whether you are just starting to find your voice or you are learning to own the space you already occupy, your story belongs here. You are not "too much." You are enough. 💕 ❤️ Need to check your time zone?

Come as you are. We'd love to have you with us! 🌱 Looking forward to seeing you, – Faerie 🌸🧚‍♀️

...See more 🌷 Hello, beautiful souls! 👋 Our weekly Women's Circle is happening Saturday, August 1st, 2026 at 10 am EDT in the Support Session Room for adults on 7 Cups. Topic: The Shadow Side of Healing: When Trauma Resurfaces We often hope or expect that healing is a straight line upward. But for many of us, the journey looks more like a spiral. Just when we feel we've found solid ground, an old wound can suddenly reopen, bringing with it a flood of emotions that feel like they belong to the past. This week, we create space to honor the non-linear reality of recovery. We will explore the "shadow side" of healing: the triggers that catch us off guard, the frustration of feeling like we're taking two steps back, and the courage it takes to face the pain we thought we had left behind again.  Whether you are in the thick of a resurfacing episode, trying to make sense of a sudden wave of emotion, or simply looking to understand your journey better, your experience is valid. You are not a step backward. You are not alone. 🌷 ⏰ Need to check your time zone?

...See more 🌷Hello, beautiful souls! 👋 Our weekly Women's Circle is happening Saturday, July 25th, 2026 at 10 am EDT in the Support Session Room for adults on 7 Cups. Topic: The Art of Grief: Navigating Loss Beyond Death We often think of grief only in the context of death. But for so many of us, the deepest grief comes from the losses that leave no body to bury: the loss of a dream, the loss of a friendship that faded, the loss of our health, the loss of a version of ourselves we thought we'd be, or the slow erosion of a relationship. This week, we create a sacred space to honor these "invisible" losses. We will explore the grief of the "what could have been," the pain of the slow goodbye, and the unique challenge of mourning something that society doesn't recognize. You don't need a funeral to grieve. You just need a safe space to be heard. Whether you are grieving the end of a chapter, the fading of a body, or the drifting of a loved one, your grief is valid. Your pain is real. And you are not alone. ❤️ Need to check your time zone?

...See more 🌷 Hello, beautiful souls! 👋 Our weekly Women's Circle is happening Saturday, July 18th, 2026 at 10 am EDT in the Support Session Room for adults on 7 Cups. Topic: The 'Good Girl' Syndrome: Unlearning the Need to Please We all know the "Good Girl"—the girl who always said yes, who never wanted to cause a scene, who grew up learning that being "good" meant pleasing others. But as women, we often carry that inner voice into adulthood, and it can become a silent trap that keeps us exhausted, resentful, and disconnected from ourselves. This week, we explore The 'Good Girl' Syndrome; the pressure to always appear strong, capable, and perfect, and the need to say "yes" when you want to say "no." We'll talk about the origins of people-pleasing, the cost of saying "yes" when you want to "no," and how to set boundaries that honor your needs. Whether you're currently struggling with people-pleasing, or you're looking back at a pattern that has shaped your life, this is your space to share, reflect, and empower one another. 💛 Remember: You are not a "good girl" because you please others. You are worthy of love and respect simply because you exist. Your "no" is a valid boundary. ❤️ Need to check your time zone?

...See more 🌷 Hello, beautiful souls! 👋 Our weekly Women's Circle is happening Saturday, July 11th, 2026 at 10 am EDT in the Support Session Room for adults on 7 Cups. Topic: Women and Caregiving Women are often expected to be caregivers; to children, partners, parents, and others. This unpaid labor takes a profound toll on our mental and physical health, our time, our social lives, and our sense of self. But the burden shouldn't fall on us alone. This week, we explore Women and Caregiving; the invisible labor, the "always available" expectation, and the ways caregiving shapes our identity. We'll talk about the guilt of taking time for yourself, the financial and social costs, and how to set boundaries that honor your needs while still caring for others. Whether you're currently caregiving or looking back at a caregiving role that shaped you, this is your space to share, reflect, and heal. 💛 Remember: You are not defined by what you give. You are defined by who you are. Your needs matter. Your boundaries protect you. ❤️ Need to check your time zone?
