We know that many of you wonder why our Meet Ups aren’t available in every corner of Cornwall–and even the Country–and why we sometimes can’t secure the local venues you know and love that seem ideal. These questions matter, and we want to be open about the challenges we face and how you can help…

Hello, I am Zoe Zalick – Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), musician, teacher, voice coach, sci-fi fan and lover of cats, coasts and campervans. I spend most of my days using my voice and helping others to use theirs so people don’t always realise that as a young adult I was painfully shy and struggled to…
Have you felt like you don’t matter? I wonder how many of do. I, for one, spent years feeling this way. Like it doesn’t matter if I’m at that event, with those people, or if I even exist.
