Being Fierce and Fabulous
An empowering, creative, supportive and inspiring group for college women.
"Being Fierce and Fabulous means loving and respecting yourself!" — Group participant
"Being Fierce and Fabulous means being assertive and confident!" — Group Participant
Being Fierce and Fabulous is a women’s group that has been offered at UNH since 2007. The goal of the group is provide women a safe space to explore who they are in order to live lives that are fulfilling emotionally, socially, physically and spiritually.
College is an exciting and transformative time to begin the journey of self-exploration. In the Being Fierce and Fabulous Group, you will have a chance to creatively...
- Connect with other women and make friends in a safe and confidential environment
- Reflect on who you are as a unique individual
- Give volume to your voice to assert your needs and desires
- Gain confidence in who you are on the inside and outside
- Develop techniques and skills to nurture yourself
- Rediscover your already fierce and fabulous self
The group will teach you about the practices of meditation, journaling, assertive communication, affirmations, laughter, community, and creative arts as ways to take care of yourself and continue growing.
Right on! What graduates of Being Fierce and Fabulous have to say about their experience in the group:
- I loved this group, it is sad to leave.
- Finding a friend and having someone to talk to was the most beneficial aspect of this group.
- I learned how to deal with emotions better.
- As a result of this group, I will be more assertive and cut myself some slack – I don’t have to be perfect.
- I wish this group was longer!
- I feel I have knowledge to be happy.
- I learned a great deal about myself.
- Hearing from other people really helped me realize I’m not alone and I gained perspective.
