No, Not Crazy
We’ve all experienced invalidation that makes us question ourselves and sometimes, even feel a little crazy. From relationships to healthcare, from workplaces to spiritual communities, from media influence to societal bias and more, No, Not Crazy will explore the messages we internalize, their effects on our lives, and the ways we can free ourselves from them.
Sharing stories and speaking with experts, we’ll dig into the experiences that dismiss our truths and undermine our knowing.
Join educator and coach, Jessica Hornstein, as we learn how to better validate ourselves and others so, together, we can all feel a little less crazy.
