Please don’t reach out if you’re wanting an inappropriate chat!   💕There's no need to be perfect to inspire others. Let others get inspired by how you deal with your imperfections. 💕 ☕️☕️☕️☕️Love this analogy!☕️☕️☕️☕️ You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, causing you to spill your coffee everywhere. Why did you spill the coffee? ""Because someone bumped into me!!!" Nope. You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup. Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea. Whatever is inside the cup will spill out. So...when life shakes you (and it WILL), whatever is inside you will come out. The big question is "'What's in MY cup?" When life gets tough, what spills over? Joy, appreciation, love, acceptance? Hostility, anger, judgement, harsh words and exhaustion? Life provides the cup, YOU choose how to fill it. Especially right now, it's so important to make sure we fill our cups with the good stuff - forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation; and kindness and love for others. 7Cups For the Searching Soul FREE Kindle https://www.amazon.com/7-Cups-Searching-Soul-7Cups-ebook/dp/B01BFWMCXY [https://www.amazon.com/7-Cups-Searching-Soul-7Cups-ebook/dp/B01BFWMCXY] ⁉️TAROT One Question One Card ⁉️ 🎆Informs a Question & Shows Another Perspective Through Your Eyes 👀 Only --My Status Information!-- Red: I am NOT likely online, so shoot me a message!  Orange: I am definitely online, and am answering PMs!

Welcome! If you’re looking for a completely judgment-free zone to vent your frustrations, process a rough day, or just untangle your thoughts, you're in the right place.  I know how exhausting it is to constantly put on a brave face for the world. Here, you don't have to pretend. You can say exactly what's on your mind. My goal is to make sure you leave our chat feeling heard, validated, and just a little bit lighter. No forced toxic positivity—just genuine, human-to-human support.  Hit me up whenever you're ready to get it out out of your head. 

Young, free & mindful 🌹

I'm 70. I have both an MBA in Finance that I received in 1988 and an MS in Clinical Mental Health that I received in 2018. I've also been been teaching meditation for about 25 years. I've found that just listening to people tell their story in a non-judgmental manner can be transformative. It can allow people to break the cycle of negative thoughts they may have by saying what they're thinking out loud. And that act of verbalizing their thoughts and sharing them with someone else can help them deal with whatever is going on in their lives. I believe in volunteering because I believe in giving back to the community and also because of the feeling that I get when I reach out to someone else.   I do not provide any sort of Mental Health Counseling services other than active listening here. I am not medically trained so I can not give any advice about.      medications. 

Be Brave Do one thing every day that scares you. -Mary Schmich I present you to my wonderful listener twin🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧@coolVibes.🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧 They have been an inspiration to me in my listener walk and personal life. It is my honor to call you my friend and now my twin. 

I’m here to listen without judgment and provide a safe space for you to share whatever’s on your mind. I value empathy, understanding, and patience, and I’m happy to talk about anything

🌼Hello 🌼 !!I I apologize, but CURRENTLY I'M NOT ACTIVE AND NOT accepting new members !! My name is Juliana. I’m 24 years old and from Slovakia. 📖I have a bachelor's degree in psychology and I’m continuing my studies in this field. My goal is to one day work in crisis intervention and psychological first aid. ❤️I believe in quality over quantity. That's why I focus on just a few conversations at a time. I want to be fully present for each person I talk to. This means I may respond a bit slower, but I do so to truly listen and understand. 🕰️As a full-time student, I don’t have a fixed schedule, and as much as I’d like to be here more often, it’s not always possible. If I reply late, please know it’s not personal. I always try to get back to you as soon as I can.  💜I’m Still Not A Professional. I'm just someone who knows what it feels like to struggle. I’ve had my own battles with mental health, and I want to be here for those who feel lost, overwhelmed, or alone. Life can be confusing and heavy, and I hope I can offer at least a small moment of understanding or calm. 🕊️I’m still learning, and I may not always have the perfect words. But I will always try to be honest, kind, and supportive. I don’t judge. Whatever you're going through. Your feelings, your story,.... it all matters. ✨Feel free to write to me anytime. Even if we don’t talk often, I’ll be here when you need someone to listen. ‼️‼️ I don’t do random casual conversations, but I am here for anything 7 Cups-related!  ‼️ English is not my first language, so my messages may contain mistakes. Thank you for your understanding 💜
