Unpacking Anxiety

Quiet Girl Collective and The Cosmos are joining forces to talk about anxiety - the ways in which it shows up for us and how to manage when feeling overwhelmed. We’ll discuss why we get anxious in the ways that we do and explore how this relates to our identities as women of color:

- Identifying toxic messaging and sources in our lives: family, friends, work, media, society
- How anxiety and stress manifests in our lives
- Acknowledging what's in our control vs. not in our control

- Managing negative self-talk to practice self-affirmation

Disclaimer: We are holding space for discussion and learning. We are not clinicians.

Ending mental health stigma starts with changing the way we talk about it.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. The Cosmos is committed to combatting the stigma in our community by creating supportive, non-judgmental, and resource-rich spaces that empower people to share openly.

We're concerned that young Asian American women ages 15 to 24 die from suicide at a higher rate than other racial/ethnic groups and older Asian American women have the highest suicide rate of all women over 65. Leading research advocates for more culturally relevant solutions to mental health in the Asian community.

That's our motivation for this workshop, and our three-month Health & Wellness Workshop Series.

Join us in facilitating important conversations necessary to change the way women live and work from the inside out.

why attend? here from a member of the community

"I think I speak for more than myself, but I had felt such a loneliness and alienation for not having people in my life to have conversations as candid as we did. It's such a relief not to feel that way anymore because I feel like I suddenly have sisters I had never before."

What does it look like to love yourself in a world that stresses both our physical and emotional beings? How do we equip ourselves with tools to break free from the chains of unworthiness and shame to embrace the power of our individual identities?

This workshop will share the frameworks available to start your journey in redefining self-love. We will then build upon these frameworks in a guided writing workshop to map a foundation of goals and intentions to support your vision. Pause, step away from your everyday routines, and join us in creating your self-love roadmap.

Come prepared to learn, let go of expectations, and write—all in a safe space with community.
