Your Shelper will nudge you …. your fellow group members will cheer you on and hold you accountable for what you want to get done.

vent when life happens, strategize, get inspired, be there for each other.
How it works
Fill out the Matching form (tap “Match Me with My Group”)
On the big day, we’ll kick off the groups and fill everyone in on who’s in the group and what everyone’s working on.
As you continue, you’ll get nudges about OAK learnings, daily journaling Mon-Fri from your Shelper. On the weekends, feel free to keep chatting amongst yourselves. 💛
Who are the “Shelpers?”
You know that one friend you have? That really good listener who always remembers the little details? They have a way of making you feel special and cared for?
That’s who we’ve brought on as Shelpers.
Because Shelpers chat with you from their phone, we have people from business backgrounds, teaching, hair styling, stay-at-home parents, the list goes on.
The first Shelpers were actually our own founders ♥️ Because they are those friends too.
FAQs
How many people will be in each group?
3-5 people.
Is this all over Text Message?
Yes. but nobody can EVER see your phone number. Our Shelpful technology works over text message (all texts will come from dedicated Group phone number). Our members LOVE that Shelpful operates on text message. It makes it hard to ignore your goals when it’s not just another app notification. The Shelper for your group will set some boundaries on times-of-day folks can message, etc.
What if I want to have a dedicated Shelper and participate in a group?
You can definitely do this! And it’s a great option for someone who thrives on a bit of (positive!!) peer pressure for some areas of life, but also wants support / help / reminder / to-do management as well.
What if I want to participate anonymously?
Nobody can EVER see your phone number (that’s the universal setting, so you’ll never have to worry about that.) Let your organizer know if you want to use a different name other than your first name. We use your first name by default.
