Welcome To The Coffee Talk!

Whatever your reasoning is behind wanting to share your story is not important to me, what’s important is that you feel safe and comfortable enough to share it with me and everyone else. I value each and everyone’s different stories. I want to be your safe space, where you can express your truest feelings, thoughts, and stories. This is a time to make an impact on yourself and others.- The owner of TheParentingessence
