My ( NFN founder Jessica Daylover ) mother is visiting to spend my kids’ spring break with them. We drove by a friend’s house to pick up one of my village kids, and I pointed out that friend lives with their in laws, and her parents live a few houses up the street. I asked my mom if she’d love living that close to her grandchildren. She said, “I’d love to live near my grandchildren but couldn’t live that close to my children.” It was honest as fuck, tragic as hell, and a profound reminder of why the group of neurodivergent queers building this Network refused to create a village/chosen family-building app that didn’t also include education on emotional intelligence and communication, as well as access to professional therapists and coaches to help with the healing required to live in community. There is an epidemic of loneliness, isolation, burnout, and overconsumption that can be solved by repairing the village/communal style living killed by colonialism, capitalism, and white supremacy. In order to live communally we, as individuals, HAVE to repair the wounds that keep us from being vulnerable, from asking for help and receiving it, from showing up for others even when we’re annoyed or inconvenienced, and from doing the shadow work/healing necessary when those we love hold up a mirror and challenge our attachment styles and egos. That's why we are excited to announce our collaborations with Bianca D. McCall, LMFT, and Emma Pineda Fortin, PhD. Bianca McCall is a Retired Pro Basketball Player, TEDx Speaker, Licensed Clinical Therapist, and Healthcare CEO. Bianca is developing a series of educational content tailored for Nuclear Fusion Network™️ with the goal of aiding users with the mental health foundation necessary to create the villages and chosen families they desire. Emma Pineda Fortin, PhD is a queer immigrant, Latina mother, certified through InviteChange and the Somatic Wilderness Institute. She holds an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential with the International Coaching Federation (ICF). She is bringing her course, “Courageous Conversations”, to Nuclear Fusion Network™️. As a somatic coach, Emma draws on her lived experience as a queer person of color, executive, scientist, and yoga teacher. Emma believes that all humans are born whole, carrying the wisdom of their ancestors within both their conscious and unconscious selves. Yet, societal conditioning often obscures these truths, pushing individuals to conform to pre-established molds. She uses somatic tools to connect the mind, body, and heart. Emma inspires the courage to redefine beliefs based on an internal compass, ultimately fostering greater clarity, creativity, and compassion.
