WHEN LIFE IS STUPID HARD

Connect with folks who get it 👇

Hi fam,

More than anything, our health and happiness hinge on relationships. Yet, 61% of adults feel lonely, and nearly half have no close personal connections.

We get it—life can be stupid hard. Between work demands, financial stress, getting your steps in, staying in the know and more, it’s easy to get caught up in a deep and isolated thought spiral. 

That’s why we’re building a space for millennials and Gen Z workers to connect, share experiences, and find the support they need. We’re growing a digital coalition of people who are managing to get by - the languishing and burnt out - overwhelmed by it all and looking to connect with others who can relate.

Why join?

• Real convos: Share your story and hear from others who’ve been there

• Real support: Tips, tricks, resources, and more from people who get it

• Free resources: Access a curated library of tools, articles, and more that may actually help rather than overwhelm

• Easy access: Join discussions anytime, anywhere from your phone or computer

What to expect:

• Peers like you: Millennials and Gen Zers face a world unlike any other generation has known. With the acceleration of tech and innovation, work demands at an all time high, and milestones like home ownership seeming further and further out of reach, we’ve had a tough run. So let’s get together and talk about  it.

• Channel themes: Our channels focus on topics like burnout, grieving the loss of a pet, sober curiosity, and more. If you’re living it, we’ve got a channel for it.

• Resource hub: A growing collection of tools and resources, created by and for you

What’s next:

• Sign up: Click the link to join our Slack

• Introduce yourself: Share a bit about you, your background and what you’re looking for in terms of connection and support

• Chime in: Engage in ongoing conversations or start your own

We’re here* to coalesce real support from others who get it. Join us and find your people.

*pun intended.

P.S. Connecting online not your thing? Sign up to learn more about our modern peer groups coming to Indianapolis soon.

That’s all for this week. In the meantime don’t forget to:
