Hi everyone đ¤
Welcome to Ascend Social Club.
My name is Heather, and I created this space to build something that Iâve seen is deeply neededâa place for women with disabilities who are independent, social, and looking for real friendships.
This was inspired by someone very close to me, Dana (35, living with epilepsy), who shared how it feels to be capable, conversational, and interested in lifeâbut still struggle to find her people. That feeling of sitting somewhere âin betweenâ is more common than people realize.
Ascend Social Club is specifically for women with disabilities of all kinds who:
- are independent in many areas of their lives
- can hold conversations and enjoy social interaction
- are looking for genuine friendshipsânot surface-level small talk
- want to get out more, try new things, and build a social life
- feel like they donât quite fit into traditional social spaces
This space is intentionally created for this community so that everyone who joins shares a similar experience and can feel comfortable, understood, and connected.
TO BE CLEAR- This is not a clinical setting or a programâor through SELF DIRECTION-itâs meant to feel like a natural, welcoming, elevated social space.
Think:
⨠walks + lunch meetups
⨠low-pressure outings
⨠meaningful conversations
⨠real friendships over time
Our first meetup will be a walk + bring-your-own lunch at Eisenhower Park on a nice spring day ⌠Plus some sweet treats for after from me as a thank you for joining my first meet up!đ
đ
Dates and details will be posted once there is enough interest
Right now, Iâm focused on finding the right group of women to build something special together.
If this sounds like something youâd be interested inâor if you know someone who wouldâfeel free to comment or message me đ
