Welcome, Passionate Souls ๐ฆ
I am so honored that you are here.
Empowered Conversations was created as a safe and supportive space for anyone facing mental health challenges, learning disabilities, and special needs. It is also for those who love and support these wonderful people.
My name is Bernadette Waugh, and I am a Child & Youth Care Worker (CYCW) with 30+ years of experience, walking beside people through REAL struggles like anxiety, panic, ADHD, depression, trauma, autism, and learning challenges. My greatest passion is to help you feel seen, heard, and valued as you take steps toward healing, strength, and growth.
๐บ In this community, you are not just a member; you are a vital part of a FAMILY where:
๐ Your struggles are understood.
๐ Your voice matters.
๐ Your healing is honored.
โค๏ธ And your support may help someone else find hope.
Together, we will:
๐คฒ Share honest conversations (Keeping it private, within this community.)
๐ Explore tools for healing, resilience, and empowerment.
๐ Offer encouragement and wisdom from lived experiences.
๐๏ธ Build a supportive circle where no one has to walk alone.
You are deeply needed here. Your story, your insights, and your compassion, may be the very thing that lifts someone else on their journey.
So, as we begin, I invite you to:
๐ฌ Introduce yourself if you feel comfortable.
๐ฟ Share one thing youโd love to gain from this space.
๐ฏ๏ธ And remember, you are safe here.
(If you would like help but wish to remain anonymous, reach out to [email protected] and I will do up a post of my response & guidance โ Just For You.) Thank you for being part of this unique and well-needed platform. I cannot wait to see the conversations, connections, and healing that will grow in this community.
(Started on August 19, 2025 โ looking forward to those who will enter this secret garden. Lol)
With warmth,
Bernadette ๐ธ
