Workshop Topic: Setting Boundaries Without Guilt
Join For Her and Jessica Hopkins for an empowering workshop that helps women reclaim their voice and emotional safety by learning how to set and honor healthy boundaries.
Through real-life scenarios, interactive discussions, and reflection-based activities, you’ll explore:

What a healthy boundary sounds, feels, and looks like
How to identify signs of boundary violations, emotional avoidance, and breadcrumbing
Why silence is a powerful response and a boundary in itself
How to stop accepting crumbs and start conserving your energy

This workshop will leave you with practical tools and self-affirming strategies to protect your peace, trust your inner voice, and show up fully for yourself without guilt or apology.
Facilitator: Jessica Hopkins

After breaking free from a toxic relationship that once overshadowed her identity, she embarked on a profound journey of self-discovery, rebuilding her confidence, and redefining her sense of self-worth.
Today, Jessica is dedicated to helping other women recognize their strength, overcome emotional manipulation, and transform their pain into purpose. Through her work as a mentor, speaker, and educator, she empowers survivors to heal, rebuild their lives, and embrace their full potential. Her story is a testament to the power of resilience, and her mission is to show women everywhere that they are capable of not just surviving but thriving.

Her Table is a shared meal that provides an opportunity for women to connect over good food and meaningful conversation. Dinner, babysitting, and all materials will be provided. Friends are always welcome!
Workshop Topic: When Joy & Sorrow Dance
Right now, many of us are carrying both gratitude and grief. We’re facing financial strain, social and political tensions, wars across the globe, and the weight of loneliness, all while tending to the everyday responsibilities of work, family, and relationships. In seasons like this, pausing to reflect on how these experiences are shaping our understanding of ourselves and of the world around us can feel like a luxury.
This workshop will create intentional space to slow down and reflect on the past year, honoring both the beauty and the pain that shape our stories. We will explore how people throughout history have named their sorrow, expressed their questions, and still found language for hope and gratitude.
Through guided reflection, journaling, and conversation, participants will have the opportunity to process their experiences with honesty and compassion.
We will practice naming what hurts, noticing what is beautiful, and being held as we hold both realities together.
Facilitator: Gabrielle Leonard
We’re honored to partner with Gabrielle Leonard to bring this restorative workshop to the For Her community. Gabrielle is a dynamic speaker, facilitator, certified mental health coach, and minister. She is known for being a captivating storyteller and teacher who imparts practical wisdom that heals.
