You remember what it was like.
The pressure that didn't have a name yet. The friendships that were everything one week and devastating the next. The feeling of becoming someone new while still figuring out who that even is. The emotions that came out sideways — too loud, too quiet, at the wrong person, at the wrong time — because there was nowhere else for them to go.
Your daughter is living that right now.
Not because something is wrong with her. Because something is right — she's feeling everything, the way teenagers are supposed to. She just needs somewhere to put it.
This is ShatterStress.
A body-based release experience — part ceremony, part creative explosion — that gets out of your head and into your body, where the real stuff lives.
Not a talk. Not a worksheet. Not another adult explaining how to manage your emotions.
An experience where you show up exactly as you are — wound tight, emotionally full, maybe a little numb — and you actually do something with it. You move. You breathe. You break things. And something in you that's been braced for a while finally gets to let go.
Here's what makes this different.
She won't be doing it alone.
She'll be in a room full of girls her age — 12, 14, 17 — who are carrying the exact same things she thinks only she carries. The pressure to hold it together. The friendships that got complicated. The version of herself she performs versus the one she actually is. The exhaustion of being in the middle of becoming something and not being able to explain it to anyone.
There is something that happens when you're surrounded by people who get it — not because they've been told to support you, but because they're in it too. When one girl lets go, it gives everyone else permission. When she sees someone across the room exhaling something she's been holding for months, her own body remembers that it can do that too.
This is what community feels like when it's real.
What you'll actually do:
Welcome + intention setting — arrive, land, pull an oracle card, and check in with yourself and the group
ShatterStress ceremony — a grounded experience using breath, movement, and the physical act of breaking to move what's stuck
Journaling + integration circle — what you're releasing, what you're making room for
Closing meditation — leave with more space than you came in with
What she'll walk out with:
Not a certificate. Not a life plan. Something better.
A body that actually feels lighter — the kind of lighter that comes from moving through something, not around it
A moment that was entirely hers — unperformed, unposted, just real
The memory of what it feels like when a room full of girls all exhale at the same time
A little more access to herself — and a little less weight she was never supposed to carry alone
Your guide
Erin Doty, founder of ShatterStress, will be holding the space. She built this experience because she knows what it's like when emotions don't come out as words — and she's created something that meets you exactly where you are.
What to wear + bring
Clothes she can move in and doesn't mind getting messy
Closed-toe shoes (required for the breaking portion)
A water bottle
Optional: something small for the altar — a crystal, a photo, a token that means something to her
For after — questions worth sitting with together
(No fixing. No advice. Just curiosity.)
What did you notice in your body before and after?
Was there a moment that surprised you?
What felt hard to let out? What felt easier than you expected?
What, if anything, feels different now?
Is there anything you want me to understand about your experience — without me trying to fix it?
This is just the beginning.
These gatherings are a preview of what lives inside Teen Flight Club — a Flock experience built for young women who are ready to know themselves deeply, trust themselves fully, and move through the world from that place.
The next Flock launches in 2027. Between now and then, we gather monthly. These events are your on-ramp — a place to find your people before the runway opens.
She doesn't have to have it figured out. She just has to show up.
