Stories from the Circle

Over the years, I’ve had the honor of working with people who are generous, thoughtful, and courageous—people who love their family members deeply and are doing their best to support them with care. With this space, I hope to honor what becomes possible when someone dares to ask for support, take a risk, or share their story.

These aren’t just stories about my work—they’re reflections of what can unfold when people listen, connect, and keep showing up for themselves and each other.

For now, you’ll find just one story—but more are on the way. May each one offer a window into a real life: a journey of small steps, growing trust, and the power of connection, relationship, and community.

Xanne came in with experience as a facilitator—and still found something uniquely powerful in the Inspiration Hour process.

Xanne’s Story

Because I facilitate community-building workshops, I trusted in the value of intentional gatherings. This is exactly what happened for me! I accomplished way more in a short time than I could have alone. I no longer feel isolated; I have a clearer vision of how to cultivate a support network for myself and my child. Aysha brings a wealth of experience and ‘sneaky deep tools’ to support parents. Her workshops are not just lectures; they are experiential and communal. We gain wisdom from each other and hold each other accountable. I’m deeply grateful for this journey and the magic that continues to unfold.
