Note that The Heart Warrior Project is run by one guy, which is yes, me (Jellis Vaes). 
In between work, studies at university, and just life, I try to squeeze in some time almost every day to work on this project. 

This project takes a lot of work, as I genuinely want to deliver high-quality and helpful content for survivors here. And I do it with a lot of love every day. 

However, help is always appreciated. If you have found any insights, lessons, or support from this or any other episode, and you’d like to support the project, we have a couple of ways to do so.

We offer some ⁠awesome-looking merch⁠, such as T-shirts, hoodies, and mugs, with different designs that I personally love wearing/using myself. 

If you aren’t interested in any merch but still want to support the project, we also ⁠accept donations⁠.
