He patiently explains his reasoning, offers meaningful support, and makes people feel heard and understood. Remina * Remina is a great listener; she understands that it’s difficult for me to open up and it takes time, doesn’t judge and she asks good questions.

Jeni3 * From the very start of our conversation, because I'm a newbie member and wanted someone to listen, she is reliable and very careful of how she handles the convo. She's the exact listener I'm looking for, always listen and don't jump to any conclusion, very understanding, and she really tries her best to connect to the member. Even, I'm already fine now, thanks to her, I still want to keep in touch with her. She's the best!!! Amanda84 * She's very supportive and reliable. To every forum where I post, she reads and reply to it as a welcoming and supportung listener. For me, she's one of the strength at 7cups. * I'd like to thank her for being such a steady presence in my life these past six + months. She's listened, understood, and seen me in a way that’s rare. When she said I’m one of the honest ones, it hits deeply. I appreciate her time, her patience, and the way she shows up. It means a lot. trueconfidant123 * I like her, very warm and supportive. Always show her cheerfulness to everyone, I do pray that she's also receiving the support she's giving. Sompo2402 * They're always there for everyone even when overwhelmed themselves.

She has supported me through difficult moments with immense patience, empathy, and kindness, never making me feel judged for what I share. Her presence alone feels comforting, and even the simplest conversations with her somehow make heavy thoughts feel lighter. She listens with sincerity rather than obligation, and that is what makes her support truly meaningful. Healinghugsforyou * He has always been kind and understanding to me.

I was going through something difficult that other people usually dismiss or discard. But she validated those feelings and allowed space for them. She doesn't advise which is hard to find when I open up these days. I was able to count on her when other people treated me really bad and she consistently allowed and continues to allow space for me. I really appreciate how she gave me space while so many other people were hurtful when I was vulnerable. Here2Help42 * She and I have built up a wonderful rapport. At this point she feels like a maternal friend. AReine * she really gives you space to explain and understand you, and has a very calm and understanding vibe * Consistency in messaging and support.

🌷 Tulip Awards Update: New Milestones & Recognition System

by Hope

April 27th

...See more Hi everyone! Hope you’re doing well. We’re introducing an updated way of recognizing the consistent, long-term support our listeners provide through the Tulip Award system 🌷 While the purpose remains the same, celebrating meaningful, ongoing support, we’ve added milestone certificates to better reflect sustained impact over time. You will still receive a Tulip badge for each valid nomination, and nominations will continue to be member-led. Support must reflect long-term engagement (minimum ~1 month) through PMs, forums, or chatrooms, and the listener must not be a newbie. Here are the new milestone certificates: 🏅 Active Listening Recognition Certificate – awarded after 10 nominations 🎖️ Active Listening Contribution Certificate – awarded after 50 nominations 🥇 Active Listening Excellence Certificate – awarded after 100 nominations 🏆 Active Listening Legacy Certificate – awarded after 300 nominations New Additions! * Tulips will no longer reset each year. Instead, they will continue accumulating over time, allowing you to work toward these milestones. * Another update is that nomination messages will now be visible to the nominee. Previously, reasons were shared privately for eligibility checks, but moving forward, nominators will provide a positive public review so listeners can see exactly why they’ve been appreciated. * Reaching 10 or more Tulip nominations will also count as an elective in the Quality Listening Program (see linked post for details). [https://www.7cups.com/forum/qlp/AnnouncementsandUpdates_2201/NewElectivesforQLPTrainees_380194/] Important note: All past nominations will count toward these milestones, but only for individuals who continue to receive at least one new nomination moving forward. Certificates will not be issued retroactively unless a new nomination is received, as we’re unable to manually track past eligibility for everyone. This update is about recognizing those who consistently show up and make a meaningful difference over time. If someone has supported you throughout your journey, take a moment to appreciate them 🌷 Start nominating here!
