ABOUT OUR LOCATION:
We are located at the Ft. Collins Coffeehouse, on the second floor. The space is open and has a mix of florescent and natural lighting. Music plays in the background, but it's soft enough for you to hear people speaking next to you without needing to raise your voice. This is an alcohol free space. Free parking is available. There is 1 handicap parking space at the front of the building. However, the elevator to get to the second floor is located at the rear of the building. To get to the elevator, take the last door toward the back of the building. When you open the door, there is a long hallway with the elevator at the end of it. Take the elevator to the second floor. Once out of the elevator, take a right to get to the space. ADA bathrooms are available.

ABOUT THE FACILITATOR

Chrysta Bairre is an advocate for herself and others. As a child she grew up in poverty, surrounded by family members with mental illness and addiction, while her own non-apparent disability went unrecognized and undiagnosed. A queer woman with several disabilities, she fought to get the help and support she needed to thrive, and became a voice for unseen and under-served people like herself.

Today, Chrysta is an author and professional speaker, helping individuals increase their income and impact through valuing their own inherent worth, setting boundaries and saying no in business, and advocating for themselves. She engages and inspires on stage, speaking to employees on banishing burnout, overcoming impostor syndrome, and workplace mental health.

Chrysta is also the founder of She Goes High, a 1,900+ member introvert-friendly and neurodivergent affirming community for women and non-binary leaders in Northern Colorado. She Goes High hosts more than 30 events per year to support women and non-binary leaders in taking up their space in the world and leaving their legacy!

Her first book, Beautiful Badass: How to Believe in Yourself Against the Odds, shares stories and lessons from overcoming poverty and depression in this guide for women who want to take command of their destinies and no longer fall prey to the hardships and setbacks that previously defined them. She is currently writing her next book on the topic of asking for help.
