What others have gained from Better events:

  • I’ve been wanting to find things like this to join and meet new people so it was a good opportunity- I’d love to have other opportunities to join. I like the way you framed today with things you’re good at/love was refreshing. I do want to find hobbies and tangible things to do so I’m hoping I get some motivation/inspiration to lean into new things with events like this!

  • I thank you for that and just speaking about it with strangers helped me because I'm having a difficult time accepting that he's really gone. Being in that group setting helped me get out of my thoughts even if only for a little bit.

  • ...LOOOOOOVED ur session yesterday, excellent job! I hadn't done a workshop like this before and the variety of women/personalities and their stories was fascinating to me. My heart broke for the woman who lost her fiance. I'm big time looking into Ikigai tho, SO cool. u have the ability to mix in just the right amount of humor to make people feel comfortable and to open up in a safe space

  • It was such a pleasure to meet you and the rest of the other attendees. Yea it’s been a lot lately and I really appreciate everyone being very undertanding and patient with me as i shared. so many mixed emotions but working through them slowly and finding joy in life! I hope you know how beneficial these are for people who need that outlet. thank you again

  • Yes so telling for sure and as sad as it is, I know it’ll be for the best for now at least. What’s meant for me won’t pass me up so I have to just remind myself about that lol. I was so excited to come today, I always feel so good afterwards. Hopefully some of my friends can come to the next ones.

  • You did a great job and I really enjoyed the session on Monday! I enjoy the group sessions, hearing about others issues/ perspectives and getting advice I might not have considered myself. It was a helpful thought to keep in mind that the people close to me will love me regardless and I need to give them the opportunity to prove me wrong rather than internalize. I think the session Monday made me realize that practicing gratitude for my close relationships more often will probably help with that.

  • Thank you so much for hosting this. It was so helpful and got me out of my comfort zone. I took home a lot of useful tips from the whole group.

  • Good Morning! A quick note to thank you for hosting the session yesterday on boundaries. I really appreciate you sharing personally and how you have used your own experiences to help others advocate for themselves. It is an interesting topic to me. Honestly, one I do not know much about. Dan's book recommendation is one I am going to look into further. Thank you for making Cvent a better place to work

  • I wanted to let you know that your groups are a huge part of this past year for me and I could not be more grateful for reconnecting with you and meeting everyone in attendance. I've caught myself reflecting back to different group discussion whenever I find myself engulfed in the duller days life has to offer and I think that's really huge. You're making a huge impact in such a positive manner and I hope you know your passion and efforts never go unnoticed <3

  • I just wanted to thank you ahead of time for facilitating the Holiday Blues session tomorrow. Mental health is so important. I have been struggling this past year as my husband unexpectedly passed away in March and then my mom in late April. This will be the first Christmas without them both. I am fine one minute or hour with the approaching holidays and then at other times I feel anxiety , sadness, and a pit in my stomach...Thank you for presenting - It makes me feel less alone that I am not the only one feeling the lack sometimes of holiday festiveness and that it is valid and okay for me to feel that way

  • Thank you SO much for hosting this. I don’t think I’ve shared the things that I did today with others in a long time. It is more appreciated than I can express!
