Welcome
Why Do I Feel the Way I Feel (Why the Feels) is a community-based program supporting youth and young adults as they navigate identity, emotions, relationships, and life’s challenges.
We offer a safe, inclusive space where you can show up exactly as you are—no pressure, no judgment.
What We Do
- Open, honest conversations about real-life experiences

You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure everything out by yourself.

Starting something new can feel uncomfortable—we understand that.

About Us
Why the feels is a community program hosted at the United Church of Broomfield (this is not a church-run program) targeted at youth and young adults, individuals exploring identity, belonging, or mental health, and people navigating life transitions or challenges.
Mission
To create a safe, inclusive space where youth and young adults can explore identity, build connection, and experience a true sense of belonging.
Our Story
Why Do I Feel the Way I Feel was founded by Molly MacGregor, inspired by years of working with individuals and families navigating mental health, addiction, and life transitions.
Through both professional and personal experience, she recognized the need for a space where people can talk openly about what they’re feeling—without stigma, pressure, or labels.
This program is built on the belief that being heard, understood, and accepted can change lives.
