Room for You: A Healing Writing Series for the Ones Who Hold Others Together with Victoria Johnson

Join us for a Summer (Bring Your Own) Lunch and Learn!
You were trained to notice everything — the student in the back who stopped talking, the athlete whose eyes went flat before the game, the child who laughed too loud to cover something quieter. You were trained to hold it, name it, respond to it. Nobody trained you for what happens when you take all of that home.
The exhaustion that doesn't go away with sleep. The moment you realized you were running on memory instead of meaning. The version of yourself you set aside — just temporarily, you said — and haven't quite found your way back to.
This six-week writing series is built on a single belief: that the people who spend their lives giving language to others deserve a space to find their own. Through personal narrative, reflective writing, and the kind of storytelling that doesn't require you to be polished or profound — just honest — we will move through what it means to care deeply in a world that rarely asks how you are doing.
Each week builds on the last. Each page gets a little more truthful. By the end of six weeks, you will leave with a personal portfolio of writings that belong entirely to you — not your students, not your players, not your program. A record of what you carried, what you released, and who you are when nobody needs anything from you.
Come as you are. Write what you know. Let this finally be yours.
