What Are Personal Growth Spaces?
Personal Growth Spaces are hour-long online peer support groups with up to 8 participants.
Each Space is guided by a trained facilitator, called a Keeper, and follows a turn-based sharing format that ensures everyone has the chance to be heard.
Why Join a Personal Growth Group?
Self-improvement is tough to do alone. Life is busy, and reflection often gets pushed aside. Even with good intentions, it’s easy to feel stuck.
In Personal Growth Spaces, you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. Up to 8 peers and a Keeper to guide the flow, you’ll experience:
- Guided reflection through prompts that spark new insights
- Turn based sharing that gives every voice a chance to be heard
- Encouragement and connection from people who truly understand
These groups aren’t about quick fixes. They’re about growing together, one thoughtful turn at a time.

Meet the Personal Growth Spaces Keeper
Vanessa is a Los Angeles-based artist and recovering hot mess. She's confronted many challenges, from battling undiagnosed depression, to grappling with alcohol abuse, and fully acknowledges the difficulty of handling complex emotions alone. Through her journey of self-improvement, she's learned how to take action in her life, turning negative patterns into sources of contentment.
Aside from hosting Spaces, Vanessa looks for any excuse to get out of town, works on plays, and pets dogs.
Here in spaces, you get prompts that force you to look outside the box or help you ponder on things you wouldn't normally think about in regular therapy. Also, I've never had a therapist before start off a session with meditation and I do love meditation, so it's refreshing to have that. Vanessa guides us through the meditation and her voice is very comforting, she gives us a little intro to what the theme of the session will be for the day and begins the spaces. I also love how Vanessa shares her own stories and interpretations of what the prompts are for that session. It gives me a look into her life a little more and gives me the courage to be honest and open about my life and experiences.

Spaces has been a welcome ritual every week. It provides me the opportunity to work out various avenues of thought I normally wouldn’t on my own. Talking out the prompts each week & sharing my thoughts in a safe judgement free, pressure free environment is a real bonding experience between me and my group. There’s usually laughter, sometimes tears, and always a deep connection. I always feel better after each session!
