On Valentine’s Day, we talk a lot about love. Ro On Valentine’s Day, we talk a lot about love. Romantic love. Being chosen. Showing up for others. But for many survivors, the bravest kind of love is learning to show up for yourself. This spring, Brave Step is holding space for women-identifying survivors who want to explore what self-respecting, compassionate boundaries can look like — gently, and without pressure. Our Virtual Courageous Book Club is an 8-week, trauma-informed, peer-led space where participants can reflect, learn and connect at their own pace. Using Nedra Glover Tawwab’s Set Boundaries, Find Peace, we’ll explore practical tools for: • building healthy boundaries • releasing shame and guilt • strengthening self-trust • creating emotional safety in relationships This is not therapy, and there is never pressure to share personal experiences. It’s about dignity, choice and connection — values at the heart of Brave Step’s work. 📖 All materials provided 💻 Virtual | Join from anywhere 🗓 Mondays | March 2–April 20 ⏰ 6:30–8:00pm ET 🤍 Small group | Women-identifying only This Valentine’s Day, love can look like choosing yourself — one small, courageous step at a time. Visit www.BraveStep.org to sign up.
