Manage episode 344406166 series 2461186
After going through a pandemic, it's been so important for us to cultivate spaces that make us feel safe and comforted. To build a community that makes us feel welcomed. On today's episode, we're chatting with Teya Knapp, Founder of A Safe Space Mentor Corp.
Teya grew up diagnosed with a stress disorder caused by PTSD which she dealt with throughout her young adulthood. Determined to follow her dreams regardless of her condition Teya moved to NYC at the age of 18 to become a model. This experience allowed her to create a career and build the confidence she needed to overcome her stress disorder at 21. Seeing her own growth & accomplishments in life inspired Teya to pursue an education in psychology. Teya decided to dedicate her life to helping others in feeling empowered in their mental health journey. In July 2021 she founded her non-profit organization ASAFESPACEMENTOR CORP. Her organization provides accessibility to luxury self-care experiences such as retreats, getaways, and events to young adults in the BIPOC community at no charge. These retreats create a space for people to detach from technology and create connectedness, stillness, and peace with nature and themselves.
