In 2025, we’re moving from Wednesday to Saturday*. Also note: This is an online-only meeting now, as I will be based in Vietnam from the end of January!
How can we get back up after we fall? Was 2024 as challenging for you as for the million billion people I’ve spoken to about it? Whether the year rocked your world or rocked your foundations, let’s start 2025 together with a book about rising up again! Join us in February to discuss Rising Strong, by the legendary social worker, academic, podcaster and mega-bestselling author Brené Brown!

Podcast: Thriving Between the Lines – Examining personal development books through the lens of intersectionality
From the book jacket:
‘A mind-blowing, life-changing read … gets to the heart of life’ – Red magazine.
When you are brave in life, sometimes you fall. Even though you want to get back up, the stories you tell yourself about your personal and professional struggles keep you stuck in a cycle of fear, self-doubt and regret. Rising Strong will help you challenge those stories so you can rewrite your future.
Written by thought leader and bestselling author Brené Brown, Rising Strong is a very personal and practical guide to embracing fear and failure and creating a more courageous life. Building on Brené’s groundbreaking research on vulnerability and daring, Rising Strong presents a powerful process to rise from falls, overcome mistakes and face hurt in a way that brings more wisdom and meaning into your life.
Brené Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston, where she has spent the past 13 years studying vulnerability, courage, worthiness, and shame. The internationally bestselling author of Daring Greatly, her acclaimed TED talk has been watched by over 20 million people.
