Overwhelmed by the thought of hosting?

You’re invited to my second GROUP HELP Session — let’s get unstuck together.

In our Group Chat a few weeks ago, a community member, Ariane, wrote:

“I feel overwhelmed any time I decide to organize a group gathering. I think a combination of stressing out about the logistics (will there be enough food?), social anxiety (will people like it? Will it be awkward?), and dreading small talk (which can be very draining).”

Ariane is far from alone. Gathering often feels impossible to begin. We get stuck before we’ve even started. The weight of logistics, our own anxiety, and the pressure to get it “just right” can make connection feel out of reach.

We retreat, we wait, we tell ourselves “someday.”

But what if I told you that you CAN host a gathering, one you would actually want to attend yourself, and it need not be complicated? In fact, I’ll show you how.

My next Substack GROUP HELP Session is devoted to Ariane’s question. (Thank you Ariane!) It’s called GETTING UNSTUCK: How to Host a Gathering You Actually Want to Attend, and it’s happening this Wednesday, September 24 at 12 PM ET.

This session isn’t about throwing the perfect party or becoming the most charismatic host in the room. It’s about hosting one gathering that feels human and doable now. By the end of our hour together, you’ll have the building blocks and inspiration to host a gathering you actually want to attend.

A core skill of group life is the ability to create a meaningful shared experience with and for others. And we are going to work on just that in this GROUP HELP session. Feel free to bring some friends or colleagues along!

For now, these webinars are open to everyone — both free and paid subscribers. Starting in October, they’ll continue as part of the paid Group Life community. If you want to keep practicing together, this is a wonderful time to upgrade. And for the rest of the month, I’m offering 10% off for my newsletter community.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to gather, this is it. Come join us.

I hope to see you there!
