The Trouble With Being Good Community Circle Spring 2026: Pre-Registration Now Open
The Trouble With Being Good Community Circle Spring 2026
Pre-Registration Now Open
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of The Trouble With Being Good Community Circle, a new peer discussion and support group based on Bridgette Hamstead’s forthcoming book, The Trouble With Being Good: How Late-Diagnosed AuDHD Women Break the Rules to Save Themselves
This circle is for late-diagnosed or late-self-identified AuDHD women who are ready to explore the truths we were never taught to name, and to do it together, in community.
Our inaugural cohort begins Thursday, January 8, 2026, and meets every Thursday at 1:00 PM Central Time (CST) / 2:00 PM Eastern (EST) / 11:00 AM Pacific (PST) / 7:00 PM UK (GMT).
Each session runs approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, though meetings often extend when the group chooses to continue.
We’ll meet for a total of 19 sessions throughout 2026, skipping major holidays. Each week features a brief presentation and guided discussion drawn from the book’s chapters, tracing the journey from masking and burnout to rebellion, repair, and self-definition. Participants receive early access to chapter readings by email, along with optional reflection prompts.
This is not therapy; it’s community. Each session centers shared lived experience, mutual support, and peer insight. The circle builds on years of neurodivergent-led group work through Fish in a Tree and the EmpowerHer model, fostering spaces where we can finally stop performing and begin connecting authentically.
Cost: $299 per participant
Includes all 19 meetings, book chapter previews, and community resources.
Invoices include multiple payment options (credit card and others) for accessibility.
If you’d like to pre-register, please email Bridgette Hamstead at bridgette@fishinatreeglobal.org with:
A short statement of interest (why you’d like to join the Circle), and
The email address you’d like added to the group mailing list.
You’ll receive a confirmation message and invoice shortly after.
Together, we’ll read, reflect, and rebuild the stories we tell about being “good,” and what it means to finally be free.
