BARE connects and reminds us that we’re not alone, through sharing and listening to the “behind the scenes” of our lives.
Hear a community leader share their emotional/personal sides, “baring it all” in an intimate small group.
The speaker may delve into highly personal and sensitive topics, depending on the topic and flow of the conversation. After the initial interview, participants will join the speaker in an informal "bare" discussion, where they are encouraged to share as much (or little) as they choose
Ultimately, Bare aims to connect people and remind us that we’re not alone. Through sharing and listening to our behind-the-scenes, we can increase our empathy, compassion, and resilience. We hope Bare will be the first step in fostering a broader culture of strength through vulnerability.
Burnout Behind the glory of “making it,” there are unspoken and hidden, hazards of success. The mantra “fake it till you make it” dominates mindsets, but this can lead to dark places including burnout, anxiety, and depression.
People like to tell us what to do. The key is finding those who will listen instead of judging.
Many of us take on too much responsibility, , try to do too much, and end up feeling like a failure if things are not perfect.
Stress is real. Burnout is real. Depression is real. The only way they can be prevented is if we start acknowledging their existence.
