What would you like to talk about in Women Only Chats?

:wave:

During the chat break a few of you mentioned that it might be cool to sometimes have a discussion theme for all or part of Women's Only chats.

We're thinking about trialling this out so we'd like to hear what you'd like to talk about :chin:

Attachment not found.

This is a chance to think about issues that affect us as women or broader issues that you'd like to have a group discussion about.

For example it might be a chance to talk about time of the month and how it affects us. Or it might be an opportunity to talk about building self esteem or how can we learn to love our bodies.

Share your ideas here and we'll pool them together and try some out over the coming months.

:yes:

    Self esteem and how to love our bodies seems good. Does this mean if its themed we're unable to get support?

    It's all about trying things out - I'd imagine maybe 20/30 mins on a themed discussion and then the rest of the time for general support as usual - nothing is set in stone yet, we're just gathering ideas at the mo :)

    What do you think might work?

    I like the idea of a 20-30 minute themed discussion maybe towards the end so like 9:10pm-ish

    I am interested in the above ^

    What about goal setting, positive thinking,, ways to relax etc. (But those could be done in non-gender specific chats).
