The Home of Misfits
The Home of Misfits
A place to land. A place to exhale. A place to remember who you are.

🏡 About This Place

(and the human who built it)

Hi. I’m Sabine â€” though many people call me Beenie. 

And no — this wasn’t born from a whim, a mood, or a “wouldn’t it be nice” moment.


The Home of Misfits exists because I kept meeting people who felt out of place in spaces that promised answers but quietly asked them to shrink, conform, or pretend they were fine when they weren’t.

People who were thoughtful.
Curious.
Sensitive.
Tired of being told who they should be — spiritually, emotionally, politically, or otherwise.


People who didn’t need fixing
 they needed room.


Truth is, I know that feeling well.


I grew up learning how to read rooms quickly, adapt fast, and survive by being useful, agreeable, or invisible — depending on what the moment required. Like many misfits, I learned how to function long before I learned how to feel at home.


For a long time, I thought that meant something was wrong with me.

(It didn’t.)

đŸŒ± Why I built this

Over the years — through lived experience, counseling, teaching, writing, and formal academic study (yes, including a PhD) — one thing became very clear to me:


Most people don’t need to be fixed.
They need to be met.


They need spaces where:

  • curiosity isn’t punished

  • nuance is allowed

  • humor and depth can coexist

  • and hope doesn’t come wrapped in fear, guilt, or obligation


The Home of Misfits isn’t a program.
It’s not a pitch.
And it’s definitely not here to tell you how to live your life.


It grew out of years of studying how humans actually change, heal, relate, and find meaning — and noticing where most systems miss the mark.


So instead of creating another method, I created a place.


Hope without religion.
Belonging without conditions.
Real conversations about being human.


😏 A quick reality check

I’m not here to save you.
I don’t have a magic formula.
And I’m deeply suspicious of anyone who claims they do.


What I do believe in:

  • perspective shifts

  • honest conversations

  • kindness with boundaries

  • humor as a survival skill

  • and the quiet relief of realizing you’re not alone


Some people find this place through the podcast.
Some through the Living Room.
Some stumble in, lurk quietly, and take a breath.


All of that counts.

🏡 Why this space matters to me

Community can be medicine — or harm — depending on how it’s held.


This space is intentionally:

  • agenda-free

  • non-performative

  • respectful of difference

  • protective of nervous systems

  • and allergic to self-promotion disguised as connection


I moderate it.
I protect it.
And I take that responsibility seriously.


Not because I want control —
but because safe spaces don’t happen by accident.


They’re built.
And then they’re tended.
