Scenario

When peer groups become performance spaces instead of support

Our leadership cohort has been meeting monthly for two years and everyone shares these polished success stories while I know from separate conversations that we're all struggling with similar things. We've created this weird competitive dynamic where vulnerability feels like losing, but the whole point was supposed to be supporting each other.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group designed for mutual aid has become a stage for competitive display, defeating its purpose through collective fear of authentic connection.
