Practice groups, kind and useful feedback, and people also working through the fear of the podium.
Nobody gets better at speaking alone in a mirror. Tell Peachy you're working on it, and the practice group invites, feedback swaps, and open-slot storytelling nights surface for you, from people also learning to breathe before the first line.
Berkeley packs a remarkable number of scenes into a few square miles. Tell Peachy you're looking in Berkeley and posts from people nearby surface for you, whether they're up in the hills, down by the marina, or a few blocks off Shattuck. The rest of the East Bay is one "a little farther" away.
You describe what you’re looking for the way you’d tell a friend, and your Feed shows the posts from your friends, mutuals and communities that match.
“Show me public speaking practice groups near Berkeley.”
“Tell me when a storytelling night has open slots.”
“Surface people prepping talks who want feedback. I give gentle notes.”
Sign up with your phone number. Peachy is a chat app: your people, your group chats and your communities.
Your Feed starts as everything, newest first. Turn on a paragraph filter, a few plain words like the examples above, place included, and only matching posts show. Turn it off any time.
Your Feed shows posts from your friends, mutuals and communities: all of them, or only the ones that match your paragraph. Public posts from everyone else stay under Public, and your private chats are never part of it.
