Oh yeah, it's FREE. We're not selling anything here.

HOW IS THIS GOING TO HELP ME?
Sometimes we get stuck in a rut and it's hard to see anything outside where we are at. Participants in #tinychallenges cover a range of different life situations. Some are here just for fun, others have experienced some of the most intense hardships life can put on a person. The idea is to do something tiny for a full month in order to build momentum and motivation. Accomplish one month, build on that accomplishment, do it again. If you're still not sure how this is going to help you before you start, email #tinychallenges coach Jaimee Finney directly.
