ABOUT

Come Close is a purpose-driven, wellness-focused initiative designed to create safe, empowering spaces—on campus and beyond—where college women can break free from isolation, build authentic community, and thrive mentally, emotionally, and personally.

We believe that every woman deserves to feel seen, supported, and confident in her journey—whether she’s navigating uncertainty, healing from past experiences, or pursuing a greater sense of purpose.

Mission:

Our mission is to foster growth, confidence, and connection through Candid Conversations—a signature experience that blends intentional dialogue, reflective tools, and group connection to support:

Emotional wellness
Confidence-building
Purpose discovery
Self-leadership development

While our roots are grounded in faith-based values, Come Close is open to all women, regardless of background or beliefs, who are seeking meaning, mental clarity, and personal growth.

We know what it’s like to long for connection but hesitate to trust again. That’s why our spaces are designed to be brave—not just safe—places where honesty is honored, growth is encouraged, and healing begins.

Through thoughtful dialogue and guided reflection, we help women step into clarity, confidence, and purpose—together.

COME CLOSE

Come Close Candid Conversations is more than a gathering — it's a transformative space where women come close to confidence, clarity, and community.

Rooted in the mission of Come Close, this signature experience was created to help women break free from isolation, push past the “no new friends” mindset, and build meaningful connections that support growth, healing, and purpose.

In a culture that often tells us to go it alone, we believe in something different:
Honest dialogue. Emotional wellness. Purposeful connection.

At Candid Conversations, students will find a space that is:

Safe enough to be real
Challenging enough to grow
Supportive enough to heal

Through guided prompts, open discussion, and reflective practices, we lead women through the inner work that fosters confidence, self-leadership, and bold steps forward in life and purpose.

Whether you're navigating transitions, questioning what’s next, or just longing to be seen, Candid Conversations is where you come to be heard—and leave changed.

We welcome women of all backgrounds who are open to discovering deeper meaning, personal clarity, and authentic relationships. For those who desire it, spiritual themes of purpose and identity may also be explored.

✨ Come for the conversation. Stay for the connection. Leave with confidence.
