We all have a lot going on, and sometimes you just need to vent with someone who can listen with compassion and patience. That’s why Christy Bryant created Vent 2 Us, an online platform that provides a non-judgmental, safe space where people can freely share their thoughts, emotions and frustrations.
“The platform promotes emotional wellness and self-care by allowing users to release what’s weighing them down, which is a vital step toward mental clarity and healing,” Bryant said.
Vent 2 Us is not a replacement for professional counseling. Instead it offers a supportive alternative for people who just need to be heard without solutions or judgment. “Vent 2 Us bridges the gap between silence and support, helping those who may not yet be ready for therapy but still need an outlet for their emotions,” she said.
How it started
Bryant launched Vent 2 Us after experiencing firsthand how difficult it can be to find a safe space to simply express feelings without stigma or pressure. Bryant has degrees in the medical science field, and she found herself dealing with a lot of stress on her own.
“People, just like me, often felt isolated, unable to truly open up or find someone to talk to. It was during this time that I realized: I’m not alone. There are so many others who feel the same way, people with no one to share their struggles, joys, ideas, or frustrations with. That’s when I knew something had to change.”
3 services offered
Vent 2 Us offers three different services, and it’s available online, making it accessible to anyone, anywhere, at any time.
Vent & Vibe: In this session, you get the freedom to share without judgment. We’re here to listen—whether you’re telling a story, venting about a tough day, or working through something on your mind. After the venting, let’s lighten the mood. Vibe is your time to talk about anything else that’s on your mind.
Dishing & Drinks: Want to have an open, face-to-face chat while enjoying your favorite drink? Whether you want to vent about something that’s been bothering you, catch up on life, or spill the tea on what’s happening in your world, we’re here to listen. Our consultant will be sober and ready to listen, so feel free to unwind with your drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) and share your thoughts.
Late Night Spilling the Tea: This is designed for those late-night moments when you need someone to talk to before you can settle down for the night. Whether it’s a problem you can’t shake, an issue that’s preventing you from resting, or simply something you need to spill, we’re here to listen.
“Vent 2 Us believes in the power of being heard,” Bryant said. “We’re not here to fix you, we’re here to listen to you. Sometimes just saying it out loud, is enough to bring clarity, relief, or the strength to take the next step.”
