Struggling with challenges in your life right now?

Get some emotional relief, and be heard, by sharing your struggles, here on Universe Teeth. Your story could also be a lifeline to someone else in need.

By sharing, you get to lighten your emotional load, and move forward in your process as you do. Here's how.

Step #1: Why share your story

Sometimes, all you need is to talk. To air things, to get things off your mind and out of your heart.And not just that, but you want to be heard, too. To feel respected, for someone to give a damn.Someone to help carry your burdens.


The fight

Financial woes, personal battles, career setbacks, and major life changes can leave us feeling isolated and despairing. I know what it’s like to face such pain alone.Hi, my name’s John Dann and I know your fight well.

The struggle

I know what it’s like, when you’ve got nobody to lean on for support. When no one returns your calls, or replies to your emails.When you feel alone in a crowd, everyone with their backs to you.I know what it’s like, when the weight feels so great that you have no idea how to get out from under it.


You matter

Everyone whose battling something has a story to tell, and your story is important. And it’s with this in mind that’s led me to set up Universe Teeth.By sharing your challenges with us here, you not only unburden yourself, but also help others who might be going through similar hardships.

Step #2: What do you share?

You simply answer these two questions (by filling out a form);1) Describe your current challenge or hardship2) Share a personal strategy/tactic you’ve use to stay positive

Describe your current challenge or hardshipFirst of all, I want to hear about your current struggle, whatever you're facing. It can be a specific incident (e.g. Job loss) or a broader experience (e.g. Addiction). You choose.


Share a personal strategy/tactic you’ve use to stay positiveI also want you to share one personal tactic, tool or ritual you’ve created to help you get through your days. I don’t mean religion, but something you’ve come up with, that helps you get up in the mornings and keep going.I know you've got one of these.After all, you’re still here, fighting the fight. You need grit and willpower to do that (what I call Universe Teeth). I want to know how you stay in the fight.

Your identity is protected

If you’re worried about airing your story in public, don't be. I understand that hesitation, which is why you can use a fake name or username. You get to share your story anonymously.

How your story appears online

For an extra layer of privacy, your answers will be converted into an audio recording, complete with a voiceover.


This way, your voice is heard, your story is shared, and your privacy and identity are 100% maintained.Your comfort and safety are top priorities. It’s simple, secure, and supportive.You will receive an email containing the recording, once it goes live.

Step #3: How to take part

Now's the time to come take part in Universe Teeth.
