A little bit from me ✨

Over the last few months, I’ve been sitting with the thought around connection — and the absence of presence in this world.
Like… real presence. Holding space in a fast-moving world where pressure is high and stress is real.

After walking through a battle with my health and facing the very real challenge of burnout, I stumbled across a book called The Brain at Rest. As I began researching the neurological and physical impacts of stress — and more specifically, the constant use of our phones — I felt compelled to make a change.

I turned my phone off “smart use” for 23 hours a day… and I was astounded by the results.
Within two weeks, my sleep score doubled. The ongoing benefits have been multi-faceted, but perhaps the biggest shift was becoming deeply aware of just how disconnected we’ve become — and how much people are craving genuine connection.

That awareness planted a seed.

I wanted to create a space where people could connect with no labels and no expectations.
Not to perform. Not to impress. Just to meet — at a soul level.

This isn’t about networking.
It isn’t a platform for business.

It’s simply an hour where we put our phones down and connect heart to heart.
A chance to listen.
A chance to be vulnerable in a safe space.
And a chance to share a coffee… yet leave with your cup feeling full 🫶

Big love.
Hope to see you there (7-8am Thursdays)

Why The Connection Cup Exists

In a world that moves fast, asks a lot, and rarely pauses — connection has quietly become something we’re all craving.

The Connection Cup was created as a space to slow down.
To put phones away.
To be present — really present — with ourselves and with each other.

This isn’t networking.
It isn’t business.
And there’s no expectation to be anything other than who you are.

It’s a simple, intentional hour to connect heart to heart.
To listen without fixing.
To share without judgement.
To sit in conversation where labels don’t matter and vulnerability is welcome.

Come for a coffee.
Leave with your cup a little fuller.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or simply longing for deeper conversation — this space is for you.
