SUMMARY:Thriving Through the Noise: Navigating Mental Health & Queer Joy in Business
DESCRIPTION:Offered through our 2SLGBTQIA+ Mental Health Initiative for Entrepreneurs\, this peer group session\, delivered by our trusted partner\, Our Landing Place\, is a space to breathe\, reflect\, and reconnect.  \n\n\n\nThis session explores the unique challenges and strengths of being a 2SLGBTQIA+ entrepreneur in today’s political and economic climate. Together\, we’ll unpack how to manage stress and anxiety\, navigate the overwhelm of social media and online spaces\, and find moments of queer joy by connecting with businesses and communities rooted in equity\, diversity\, and inclusion.  \n\n\n\nWhether you’re seeking support\, solidarity\, or just a moment of calm\, you’re welcome here.  \n\n\n\nSession Facilitators: \n\n\n\n\n    \n        Our Team    \n\n            \n                            \n                    \n                        \n                        \n                            \n                                Mackenzie Kuzyk (they/them)                            \n\n                            \n                            \n                                                            \n                                    Our Landing Place                                \n                            \n                                                    \n                    \n\n                                            \n                            \n                            \n                                \n                                    \n                                \n\n                                \n                                    Mackenzie Kuzyk (they/them)                                \n\n                                \n                                \n                                                                    \n                                        Our Landing Place                                    \n                                \n                                                                    \n                                        Mackenzie specializes in queer-centered therapy and identifies as a Two Spirit and Indigiqueer person in Moh’kins’tsis (Calgary\, Alberta)\, honoring the Treaty 7 territories.
