from chronically misunderstood to
heard & celebrated

tell your story without triggering yourself or getting sad pity eyes from your friends.
learn how to talk about pain authentically and safely.
let's do it together.

we start april 17 and work together for 8 weeks.
doors to this round of the program close monday april 13.
if you're sick of trying to tell people about your life because you feel like this afterwards >>>
💤 exhausted, like you have to hide for 3 days to make up for the oversharing.
🏋🏻♀️ burdensome, like you only feel better because you made them feel worse.
💔 pointless, like you're complaining about stuff that literally doesn't even matter.
and you'd rather feel like this >>>
💪🏽 empowered, like you're in charge of your own damn life.
💞 connected, like someone you love knows you better now, and that feels good, not dangerous.
✨supported, like you can ask for help and actually get what you need to be well.
wait, who's "us"?

well, I'm Megan. I have a lot of childhood trauma, some adult trauma, and I can't shut up about it.
and you and the rest of the group?
you're the black sheep. the ones whose wool can't be dyed, can't be changed, can't be used for others' gain.
you're the ones who always feel somehow devoid of that special something that makes everyone else so normal.
welcome to the place where we'd so much rather you be YOU than be normal.
what's included in the program?
three 60-minute group zoom sessions to learn skills needed to share your story in a way that's both authentic & safe
call #1: expression & connection
call #2: contextual storytelling
call #3: personal mythology
five weeks of 60-minute group zoom sessions
share your story with the group
20 minutes for you to share, and 10 minutes to receive love from the group
we'll host as many of these sessions as needed to accommodate everyone!
you will be expected to attend several of the healing circles, but won't be required to attend every single one! more info to come
telegram group chat with two channels:
the healing: channel with regular texts and voice notes to offer encouragement & validation so that you can tell your story with confidence
the collective: channel for everyone in the program to ask questions, share stories, and support each other so that you can form good memories about being in relationship with others
receive these extra bonuses when you join black sheep healing collective before april 8
three 60-minute group zoom sessions
these are laidback sessions where you can start putting together the story you want to tell at your healing circle. we'll all be brainstorming our own stories, quietly working together, and asking questions whenever one comes up!
one 30-minute group zoom session where I'll share my story
witness someone doing exactly what you're going to do later in the program, so you can get a feel for just one of the endless ways you can share your story

what makes me qualified to lead this healing practice:
trauma-informed
lived experience with toxic family dynamics
certified life coach
dissociation-informed
lived experience with neurodivergence
hi there, I'm Megan.
I was definitely the black sheep of my family.
I was the one reading self-help books by age 9. I was the one singing to her strawberry plant in the backyard so it would know it was loved. I was the one who didn't join the swim team because she was too overwhelmed already with girl scouts and school.
maybe that stuff isn't weird in your family, but it was in mine.
so I learned to hide. I learned that self-expression always came at the cost of connection.
I've spent the last 12 years unlearning that belief, and black sheep healing collective is a shortcut to all that unlearning.
don't spend a decade painstakingly doing this alone.
you were taught you couldn't be loved for who you were. but what if your teachers were wrong?
what if you could speak your truth in a way that felt authentic, without just reliving the worst parts of your life, or getting blank stares from your friends?
I would love to teach you how.
the three safe storytelling calls will be on fridays at noon eastern (april 17 & 24 and may 1). these calls are recorded and you will have lifetime access to the recordings.
the healing circle calls will take place after the safe storytelling calls, and will be scheduled later on to best suit everyone's calendars, as these calls will not be recorded and group attendance and participation is essential to their function.
no, absolutely not. if you want to, you are more than welcome to, but you definitely don't have to. one of the skills we'll be learning about in the safe storytelling calls is personal mythology, and how you can talk about the effects of what happened without having to literally relive your trauma. sometimes, that just doesn't help, and I get that.
no it is not and I am not a licensed therapist. I am, however, a traumatized human who has done a lot of learning and healing around talking about my pain in helpful ways.
you almost definitely will be uncomfortable at some point in this practice, and that's okay. I will, however, do my best to ensure people are uncomfortable in a productive way, not in a triggering way.
if you do find yourself repeatedly triggered or unhelpfully dysregulated, you are always free to leave the program, with a partial refund.
nope! cameras are always optional, even for your healing circle call when you share your story. the most important thing is that you feel safe while telling your story, and I know sometimes being on camera can make that hard.
yes, you definitely can. if you're not ready to share your own story, but you want to learn about safe storytelling, and be there to support others as they share their stories, I think that's an amazing step forward, and I'd love to help.
I think it would be especially daunting if we only met 3 times as a group on Zoom, and then you were expected to express some of your deepest pain to...well, kinda strangers. the group chat is meant to build camaraderie, give you a chance to practice connecting with others, and give me a chance to support you throughout this whole practice.
