LESS THAN 15 HOURS TO LAUNCH ✨NEW✨ Character Introduction: Basil the Bright Possum
about 1 year ago – Sun, Mar 09, 2025 at 06:03:36 PM

Meet Basil the bright Possum with Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic Fibrosis is a big part of Basil’s life, but they know they don’t have to do it all alone. Their friends support them on bad days and celebrate with them on good ones.

Basil loves stargazing, and often will lay a blanket out and look at the sky during the night, as it helps calm them and helps them breathe easier. Their favorite is a tiny star cluster that they call “The Possum’s Tail”, a reminder that they belong in the universe just as much as anyone else 💜

We are SOOO excited, counting down every hour!! Make sure to double check your emails, the teaser page, and set a reminder for our livestream tomorrow morning at 8AM PST!! Launch is tomorrow 9AM PST!! 😍💜

LESS THAN 48 HOURS TO LAUNCH ✨NEW✨ Character Introduction: Eclair the Empathetic Elephant
about 1 year ago – Sat, Mar 08, 2025 at 02:17:20 PM

Meet Eclair,
the empathetic Elephant with C-PTSD
Despite her impressive size and powerful presence, Eclair is a gentle soul navigating the complexities of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD). Her journey is a testament to the fact that even the mightiest among us can experience vulnerability. Eclair loves to remind others that it's okay to be vulnerable and seek help

Eclair can represent both C-PTSD and PTSD 💜

She is so precious, and I love the fact we chose an Elephant for such a misunderstood illness. I have C-PTSD, and have never really found things to represent me or help me feel like I belong. I hope Eclair can help a lot of people by comforting and empowering them 💜

✨NEW✨ Character Introduction: Dizzy the Delicate Frog with Anxiety (ALMOST 2 DAYS TO LAUNCH)
about 1 year ago – Fri, Mar 07, 2025 at 12:41:29 PM

Say hello to Dizzy, the delicate Frog with Anxiety
🍃
Mornings can be rough for Dizzy, because she often wakes up feeling like she’s already behind. She starts her day with a warm cup of tea and deep breathing to help her feel better.
Her tummy has delicate swirls that seem to shift subtly when she takes deep breaths to calm herself down. Dizzy may be anxious, but she’s learning that she doesn’t have to be perfect—just doing her best is more than enough
