🌸 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, amazing women! 👋 Our weekly Women's Circle is happening Saturday, October 31st, 2026 at 10 am EDT in the Support Session Room for adults on 7 Cups. Topic: Sexism Unmasked Sexism isn't always loud; often, it hides in jokes, assumptions, and "polite" expectations that quietly limit our potential. This week, we look beyond the obvious headlines to examine the subtle, everyday mechanics of bias, from digital spaces to family dynamics, and how they shape our daily reality. We will explore the unique pressures of modern sexism, including the double standards of leadership, the weight of emotional labor, and the impact of invisibility. Let’s pull back the curtain on these hidden biases together, sharing strategies for navigating them while reinforcing our collective strength and clarity. ⏰ Need to check your time zone?

...See more 🌷 Hello, beautiful souls! 👋 Our weekly Women's Circle is happening Saturday, October 17th, 2026 at 10 am EDT in the Support Session Room for adults on 7 Cups. Topic: Reclaiming Our Time We live in an attention economy designed to keep us scrolling, clicking, and consuming. Algorithms are engineered to capture our focus, often at the expense of our peace, our relationships, and our sense of self. We find ourselves doomscrolling late into the night, comparing our lives to curated highlights, and feeling perpetually "on" but rarely truly present. This week, we gather to talk about digital detox and intentional living. We will explore how technology impacts our mental health, the subtle ways it shapes our self-perception, and the radical act of reclaiming our attention for ourselves. Let’s discuss how to set boundaries with our devices, curate our feeds for joy rather than anxiety, and rediscover the beauty of being offline. Whether you are a lifelong tech enthusiast or someone looking to unplug more, your experience is valid. Let’s find balance together. ❤️ Need to check your time zone?

...See more 🌷 Hello, amazing women! 👋 Our weekly Women's Circle is happening Saturday, October 10th, 2026 at 10 am EDT in the Support Session Room for adults on 7 Cups. Topic: Aging With Power We live in a culture that often tells women that their value is tied to their youth. From the pressure to hit certain milestones by a certain age, to the fear of being "invisible" or "irrelevant," ageism impacts women at every stage of life. Whether you are 18 or 80, you’ve likely felt the weight of societal expectations about who you should be. This week, we gather to challenge those narratives together. We will talk about the anxiety of "falling behind," the fear of what’s to come, and the freedom of realizing that wisdom, power, and beauty are not exclusive to any single decade. Let’s bridge the generational gap, share our unique perspectives, and redefine aging not as a decline, but as an ascent into authenticity. Whether you are navigating early adulthood or seasoned with experience, your perspective is vital here. ❤️ Need to check your time zone?

...See more 🌷 Hello, beautiful souls! 👋 Our weekly Women's Circle is happening Saturday, October 3rd, 2026 at 10 am EDT in the Support Session Room for adults on 7 Cups. Topic: Play For Joy We spend so much of our lives striving, achieving, and optimizing. We treat every hobby like a project and every hour like an investment. But where is the space for doing things just because they feel good? Where is the room for being silly, messy, and unproductive? This week, we gather to reclaim the art of play. We will talk about the guilt that often accompanies "wasting time," the joy of creating without an audience, and the radical act of doing something simply because it brings a smile to our faces. Let’s leave the checklists at the door and explore what it feels like to move, create, and laugh without a goal other than joy itself. Whether you consider yourself "creative" or you haven’t played in years, your playful spirit is welcome here. ❤️ Need to check your time zone?

...See more 🌷 Hello, amazing women! 👋 Our weekly Women's Circle is happening Saturday, September 26th, 2026 at 10 am EDT in the Support Session Room for adults on 7 Cups. Topic: Redefining Success on Our Own Terms Many of us carry a heavy, invisible checklist. We feel pressure to excel in our careers, nurture deep relationships, raise thriving families, maintain our appearance, keep friendships alive, and pursue constant personal growth. The expectation to "have it all" often feels less like an invitation and more like a demand, leaving us exhausted and wondering if we are falling behind or simply not doing enough. This week, we gather to gently set that checklist down. We will talk about where these expectations came from, how comparison distorts our sense of progress, and what success actually looks like when we define it ourselves. Together, we'll explore how to move from striving for perfection toward choosing what truly matters to us. Whether you are actively redefining your goals or feeling overwhelmed by the weight of trying to meet everyone else's standards, your experience is valid. ⏰ Need to check your time zone?

...See more 🌷 Hello, beautiful souls! 👋 Our weekly Women's Circle is happening Saturday, September 19th, 2026 at 10 am EDT in the Support Session Room for adults on 7 Cups. Topic: Unlearning Objectification From a young age, many of us are taught to view ourselves through the eyes of others. We learn to monitor our bodies, our expressions, and our movements to ensure we are "acceptable" or "attractive." This constant self-monitoring is exhausting, and it can make us feel like our value is tied to how we look rather than who we are. This week, we gather to explore the process of unlearning objectification. We will talk about the difference between being seen as a person and being looked at as an image, the mental toll of constant self-monitoring, and the radical act of reclaiming our bodies for our own joy, strength, and comfort. Whether you are deep in the work of unlearning these patterns or just starting to notice the weight of objectification, your experience is valid.  ❤️ Need to check your time zone?

...See more 🌷 Hello, beautiful souls! 👋 Our weekly Women's Circle is happening Saturday, September 5th, 2026 at 10 am EDT in the Support Session Room for adults on 7 Cups. Topic: The Friendship Shift: Navigating Loneliness and Connection as Women As we grow older, our friendships often change. The easy, constant connection of school days fades, and life’s demands (careers, families, moves) can pull us apart. Many of us find ourselves feeling surprisingly lonely, even if we are surrounded by acquaintances or busy lives. This week, we gather to explore the evolving landscape of female friendship. We will talk about the grief of outgrowing friends, the courage it takes to make new connections as adults, and how to find meaningful depth in a world of surface-level interactions. You don't have to have a huge social circle to be happy. You just need to know that your desire for connection is valid, and that you are not the only one feeling this shift. Whether you are navigating a friendship breakup, trying to make new friends, or simply looking to deepen your existing bonds, your story matters. Your connection matters. ⏰ Need to check your time zone?
