Independence  

‘During this session of “Whatever Life Throws at You”, we had great conversations around what independence means to us in 2021.

We began our meeting with a conversation surrounding the questions of:

  • What does independence mean to you?
  • What kinds of independence exist?
  • What has helped you or made you feel good on your way to independence?
  • What are the obstacles to your independence?

  • She knows, however, that he is not the right life-long partner for her
  • Sharleen wants to build up the confidence to have a conversation with her boyfriend and be honest about not seeing a future

*Brittney’s Goals-

  • Brittney is currently living with her parents and finding it difficult. 
  • She likes the convivence of saving money and sharing household responsibilities with her parents, but she wants her own space
  • Brittney’s goal is to save up enough money to support herself and live independently in her own place.
