The Pattern Stops With Me: A Live Talk+Book Q&A with Dr. Laryssa M.Creswell

“What if you didn’t have to carry what was never yours to hold?”

Join award-winning author and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor Dr. Laryssa M. Creswell for a soul-stirring afternoon of healing, truth-telling, and gentle empowerment in an intimate gathering in Washington, DC.

In her signature talk, The Pattern Stops With Me, Dr. Creswell guides you through a personal and powerful exploration of how emotional burdens and generational patterns shape our lives and how we can begin to set them down with intention and compassion.

After the talk, you’ll be invited into a heart-centered, trauma-informed Q&A inspired by her award-winning book, The Invisible Weight We Carry: Breaking Free from Generational Burdens and Emotional Baggage. Whether you bring your questions, your story, or simply your quiet presence, you are welcome exactly as you are.

This is not just a lecture. It’s a shared moment of reclamation and release. This is a space to reconnect with your truth, in community.

Come as you are. Leave a little lighter.

Healing happens in community. When you bring someone you trust, like a sister, friend, mother, or mentor, you amplify the power of this experience.

SPECIAL OFFER: When you and a friend sign up and attend together, you’ll be entered into a giveaway to receive 2 signed copies of The Invisible Weight We Carry, one for you, one to gift. You'll receive a BAGF entry card at check-in. Simply fill it out and drop it in the bowl at the welcome table. The winner will be announced before the event closes.
