Four weeks. Flexible focus.

 New activities drop each week to be completed until the end of the month. Join for the ones that interest you most, or aim to complete all four weeks.

Within each, you can select from ways to reflect, connect, & develop skills based on what matters to you—how you care, what you desire, or how you build connection—or you can go deeper and choose to do a bit of it all. 

1
Get Honest
MAY 4–10
How do you love? What are you wanting? What do you give & get in relationships? Assess, reflect, & build an honest inventory of where you're at.
2
Get Brave
MAY 11–17
Set boundaries. Be vulnerable. Have the conversation. Figure out where your comfort zone lies & then make a plan to leave it.
3
Get Closer
MAY 18–24
Communicating can be tough. Relationships take work. Nurture connections & sharpen your social skills through small acts of showing up.
4
Keep Growing
MAY 25–31
Create a vision for your relational future that's grounded, sustainable, and fulfilling. Look at what shifted, keep what you like, & plan for whatever is next.

 

Different ways to engage.

This challenge's activities are built on three tracks so you can choose how you want to engage. Stick with one, or mix and match. You choose how you play.

🧘
INNER · SOLO
Inner Track

Journal, reflect, self-assess, and build your skills in private.  Check in with us or don't. Nobody sees anything unless you decide to share it.

💬
COMMUNITY · DIGITAL
Community Track

Build skills from home by connecting in the HG Discord. Discuss, collaborate, & find your people among others doing the same work.

🌍
REAL-WORLD · IRL
Real-World Track

Apply to your actual life. Practice your skills for real. Text the friend, have the hard talk, go to the thing — then report back.

FAQ

Do I need to be in or want a romantic relationship?+

Nope! Though this challenge was built to go with the release of Dr. K's Guide to Love, Sex, and Relationships, the activities will apply to connection of any form — friends, family, self, and yes, romantic partners if that's your thing.

What if I need to join late?+

Jump in (or out!) any time. New activities release each week, but all prior content stays open until the end of the month. No penalties, no judgment.

Do I need Discord?+

Nope. You can participate entirely through email. A few activities on the "Community" track won't be doable without being a member of our Discord, but most will have alternatives, and you'll have the Inner Track and IRL options too.

Is this really free? What if I don't have the new Guide?+

Yes. No catch. If you're getting the Guide, this'll help you kick things off, but we want you involved either way!

What if I can't log on every day?+

You don't have to. Pick your pace, pick your track. The challenge and activities are designed to be flexible. You'll get to select off a menu based on what works best for YOU!

I'm more of a lurker — is this for me?+

Yep! The Inner Track is designed for people who process privately. No photos or mandatory sharing are ever required! And if you want to dip your toes into community... we'd love that too.

How do I get started?+

Just put your email in at the top of the page and/or join the HG Discord and look for when the challenge channels open in #announcements! A tutorial task will drop May 1st; the challenge begins on the 4th.
