Core Values

Core Values

(aka what holds this island together)

Humor as oxygen

We laugh because life gets heavy. A good joke is survival.

Heart first, always

Kindness is the foundation. Softness is strength. There is room for your feelings here.

Chaos allowed, shame not invited

Bring your spirals, your overthinking, your messy moments. We don’t judge.

Belonging for every misfit

If you’ve ever felt out of place, congratulations. You’re home.

Creativity as connection

Art, humor, stickers, tiny notes. This is how we find each other.

Petty with purpose

A little sass makes the truth easier to carry.

What Makes the "and Co" so Special?

We create comfort on purpose.

This space is built so you never have to shrink or pretend.

We use humor to connect, not to hide.

We laugh together because it brings us closer, not because we’re avoiding the real stuff.

We don’t pretend to be perfect.

Messy, tender, petty, tired, hopeful

It all belongs here.

We recognize each other instantly.

It only takes one joke or one sticker to think oh, you’re my people.

We lift each other up.

We celebrate softness, survival, honesty, and tiny victories.

We choose belonging every time.

If you’re here, you’re in the and Co.

No tests. No gatekeeping. Just vibes and heart.
