Create & Release - Safe With Shanique X Thee Lid Lounge
About this Event
Release who you've been. Create who you're becoming.
There's a woman you've been carrying — the one shaped by other people's expectations, old stories, and thoughts that were never really true. And there's the woman you're becoming. This afternoon is about releasing the first, and creating the second — with your own hands.
Join Shanique Walker, LCSW of Safe With Shanique and Nicole Day of Thee Lid Lounge for a one-of-a-kind wellness experience that blends real emotional healing, hands-on creativity, and genuine community.
Here's what we'll do together: In the therapist-led Mental Reset, we'll explore the quiet thoughts running underneath your confidence — the "I should be further along," the "everyone's judging me," the "if it's not perfect, it's a failure." These are called cognitive distortions, and once you can name them, you can stop believing them. You'll leave with a real, practical skill — catch it, check it, change it — to interrupt those thoughts the moment they start, and a simple question that changes everything: is this a fact, or a feeling?
Then, we create. Guided by Nicole, you'll design and customize your own hat — a wearable reminder of the woman you're choosing to become. Because healing isn't just something you feel. It's something you can carry with you, and wear into your next season.
Your afternoon includes:
- A therapist-led Mental Beauty Reset™
- Guided reflection & grounding
- A hands-on hat customization experience
- Curated gift bags
- Light refreshments
- Real community & connection with women who get it
You'll leave with:
- Practical tools to regulate your nervous system and quiet distorted thinking
- Greater clarity about the season you're stepping into
- A customized hat that tells your story
