FAQ
What if I can't attend live?
All registrants will receive the replay within 24 hours.
My situation is unique. Can you help me?
Absolutely. I’ve supported hundreds of people through their hardest conversations — serious medical news, workplace tensions, even high‑stakes family moments.
What if the person I need to talk to is reactive?
Most people come for exactly that. You’ll learn tools that keep you steady even when they aren’t.
Is this too touchy‑feely? Or too clinical?
Neither. It’s practical, grounded, and immediately usable.
I still have questions.
