New Year - New Wins
This space is here to track forward movement. Wins don’t need to be dramatic or polished. They don’t need to be finished products or major outcomes. They just need to be real. Use this thread to share progress you’ve made that required effort, presence, or follow-through. That might look like: • completing something you’ve been avoiding • staying regulated in a hard conversation • showing up consistently when it would’ve been easier to disengage • taking a step you’ve been putting off • holding a boundary • finishing a course, certification, or assignment • asking for support instead of isolating Big or small. Personal or professional. If it moved you forward, it belongs here. We’re not measuring ourselves against each other. We’re tracking momentum. Post your wins as they happen. This thread stays open all year.

Recovery
Welcome.
If you’re reading this, it likely means something in you is ready to return to yourself. Not to who you were before. But to the person who’s still here — the one who survived what you don’t talk about often. This space is for people who are rebuilding identity after seasons of endurance, collapse, performance, or quiet unraveling. We move slowly here, on purpose. We don’t rush the process, and we don’t glorify suffering. We are learning to stay present with ourselves again — one honest moment at a time. There’s nothing to prove here. You don’t have to be inspiring. You don’t have to be “doing better.” You only have to show up as you are today. How to begin: 1. Read the Orientation in the Classroom. 2. Make your first check-in in the welcome community post, if you wish. 3. Go slow. Let your nervous system set the pace. Only work one course at a time. You didn’t come here to escape your life. You came to return to it — carefully, deliberately, and with support. This is The Work. And you’re not doing it alone. We are The Know Hope Society. I’m glad you’re here.— Adam
