Thank you Tara! Looking forward to seeing you and everyone tomorrow & collecting bedding for such an amazing cause!

I have ripples upon ripples! I hired Felicia Romero as a business coach in 2021. On one of Felicia's coaching calls she had this amazing, brilliant, bubbly cheerleader photographer, with energy for days named, (Drumroll) @Quianna Marie. I fell in love! I wanted that energy and the amazing photos were a perk. I hired Quianna to take my very first content shoot. I continued to show up with Quianna as she launched her OG Lucky 13 mini shoot series. It was during these shoots where I met another fun, authentic, smiley, and genuine soul, who also was a photographer, (drumroll) @Tara Dunn. Shortly after that I straggled into one of Tara's Connect Belong meetings and the rest is history. In that room I met @jadeleconsulting who I hired to blow my website out of the water. I have gone on countless walks and hikes with many women in this group. Had amazing energy work with @divinelybrittany. Gone to soul aligning sound baths with @soul_vibes_life_coach. I have had deep and meaningful conversations about holistic health and working together with @Christine Michalski. Endless coffee dates and belly laughs. It's funny how sometimes we feel like we're not moving as fast as we like, or maybe we're not checking all the business boxes or motherhood boxes, but when you move through life with intention, even the smallest ripple can awaken connection, healing, and joy far beyond your reach. I'm internally grateful for how those subtle shifts have shaped the most meaningful parts of my journey. Also- is this still considered a comment? 😆

Just left my 5 star review! As I reflected on my words, so many faces, experiences, and fun meetups flooded my brain for a wonderful boost of endorphins! So grateful for CB and the beautiful souls that it brings together.

@Tara Dunn 🥰

My most recent BIG win is investing in my brand with Jennifer Miranda (she’s in Connect Belong, but I don’t see her to tag!) and trusting her with my branding and website design. Best decision ever and I’m on my way to having a beautiful site!

For me, a supportive community is more than just cheerleaders—it’s people who show up consistently, celebrate the wins, and also have the courage to lovingly hold up the mirror. It’s that balance of encouragement and accountability that allows us to grow, heal, and step into our worth. This community is a perfect balance of just that for me.
