Our Mission
Club Bedford is designed to foster meaningful connections—starting with the one you have with yourself. Our mission is to help you turn inward, reconnect, and grow into the very best version of who you are.
My Story
My name is Jessica Stern.
Having experienced foster care and family separation, I feel deeply concerned about the state of the American family. This led me to co-found Connect Our Kids and create the YouTube series All Connected: A Place for Belonging, a mental health platform for children in foster care. I'm also an aspiring writer. You can learn more about that work at www.HighTimeForHighTea.com, where tea serves as a metaphor for female empowerment and purposeful living.
​
I’m a wife and mother who feels out of touch in a constantly connected world. When I turned 50, I made a decision: while my child was at school, I would finally give myself permission to create the life I’ve always been too distracted (or maybe too afraid) to build.
​
It is with great delight and earnest purpose that, alongside a circle of exceptionally gifted companions, we embark upon a venture of intellectual, emotional, and spiritual nourishment: programs designed not merely to soothe the body but to challenge and disrupt the pernicious grip of chronic stress upon the mind and spirit.
​
For what is stress, if not a heavy cloak that stifles thought and impedes joy?
Every single one of us deserves health and happiness and the support that empowers us to cultivate both. That begins with a profound awareness of how traumatic events affect our lives and relationships.
