Izzy
As a daughter of a narcissistic mother and someone who has endured religious trauma, I want you to know this first: you are not alone. I was born and raised in Pakistan and have navigated my own journey through anxiety, CPTSD, depression, and dyslexia. For a long time, I carried guilt, confusion, and the quiet feeling of never being fully seen. Therapy was a meaningful and supportive part of my healing, and I’m grateful for the clarity it provided. Over time, I also began attending peer support groups, where I experienced something deeply transformative, being witnessed by others who showed up vulnerably and met me as an equal. That sense of shared humanity shifted my healing in profound ways. I originally trained and worked as a medical doctor, but I came to understand that my heart was in creating spaces centered on connection, presence, and lived experience.

Understanding midlife
Midlife can be a time of reflection, change, and recalibration – often marked by shifting identities, relationships, careers, health, or caregiving roles. Midlife peer support groups provide a space to talk openly about these transitions, share wisdom gained through experience, and feel supported through uncertainty and growth. By connecting with others navigating similar seasons of life, these groups foster clarity, resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose.
