Cheese and Change:

Sometimes They Stink

Whine Welcome

​​

Join us for a cheese-filled evening of conversation about coping with change in a dumpster fire world.

​

If you’ve said “what the hell is going on?” more times than you can count, you’re in good company. This night is for anyone who’s holding it together on the outside while feeling fried on the inside. Whining not only allowed, it’s part of the process.

​

In this session we'll tackle:

  • Simple ways to reintroduce calm to a stressed-out nervous system

  • A guided practice in non-attachment: letting go when your instinct is to grip tighter

  • Shifting the self-talk that keeps change feeling heavier than it needs to be​

​

WHEN: Thursday, February 26th, 2026 6:30pm-7:30pm

COST: $15 per person (includes a a variety of cheeses)

LOCATION: Sherwood Brewing Company

45689 Hayes Road, Shelby Township, 48315

Goal-Getting: Big Goals, Real Life

​

Have you ever...

-Felt excited about a goal...then quietly avoided it?

-Known what you should do, but struggled to start?

-Tried to motivate yourself with guilt or pressure and still stalled

​

You're not bad at goals. You're just *human*.

​

In this session, we'll work 1:1 and as a group talking about:

-Why motivation fades

-Why guilt doesn't work

-What actually helps people follow through
