We are made to think our struggles need to be kept quiet and to ourselves. But you don’t have to hurt in silence, and you don’t have to heal in silence either. This journey doesn’t have to happen alone. We invite you to speak of your hurt and heal out loud. Things We're Excited About.   Your perspective is important. We’re working to better understand how this community thinks about mental health and how TWLOHA has impacted those beliefs. We’d love to have you help us by taking a short survey which will take about 10 minutes to complete, and at the end, we have a little thank you to show our appreciation for your time and energy. [IMPACT SURVEY](   Charity races are available for 2025. No matter what race or distance you choose, joining Team TWLOHA will bring this message of hope and help to those struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide. In a society where celebrations focus on the big steps in life, we want to honor the quiet courage and bravery of the small steps. And on race day, there will be hope in the first step you take at the starting line and the last one as you cross the finish line, along with every step in between. Spots are now available for the charity races we'll be participating in Los Angeles and Brooklyn! [LEARN MORE]( [Fall Clearance Sale. Up to 60% off. ]( [Fall Clearance Sale.

[The Trajectory of Shame]( By Kelsi Turner When we try to bury our pain, it always comes out in other ways. Addictions, eating disorders, hoarding, you name it. Society whispers to us that our pain is too much to bare, so we learn to hide it away. [It Begins With Self-Compassion]( By Sara Evelyne We all have different paths, perspectives, and problems. Ironically, sometimes it isn’t the hardest or darkest of times that bring the most confusion or resistance, but the ones displaying promise and progress. [Feeling Safe To Feel the Pain]( By Courtenay Jamieson I never felt fully safe in my body. I never trusted my brain either which meant I wasn’t capable of acknowledging that my body was harboring years of abuse and pain. None of it ready to be felt or brought to the surface—but always in the background lingering.
