@Susana Gozalo, @Monika Candrasari, @Antje Bothin @Marike Carr, @Lara Knutzen , @Jennifer Chabot I have something exciting to share with you — and I wanted you to be the very first to know. Our community has been reborn. What began as Happiness Habits has blossomed into something deeper, richer and more transformational than I ever first imagined. Welcome to The Secret Garden Community — where women over 40 shed who they were supposed to be and step boldly into who they truly are. Inside you will find healing, connection, laughter, growth and a sisterhood unlike anything else. Using my unique Shed & Shine Method — blending RTT, Hypnotherapy, NLP, EFT and coaching — this is the place where you finally come home to yourself. And you, my dear, were here before the garden gate even had a name that stuck. That makes you a Founding Member — and I want to honour that. As my thank you, you are receiving your Blooming membership completely free — my gift to you for believing in this community from the very beginning. Your garden is waiting, 🌿. Bloom where you are planted.🌻 With so much love, Maureen 💛

Welcome @Jennifer Chabot, @Lara Knutzen, @Antje Bothin, @Marike Carr, @Susana Gozalo, @Monika Candrasari I are so happy to have you here as part of our Founding Members. This is our opportunity to build something truly meaningful and I would like to encourage each of you to invite friends, family and women you think would benefit from being here with us. I would also welcome ideas to build this community and make it a place that none of us ever want to leave. I would love to have a weekly or bi-weekly meet up to get to know each other. Please let me know what times would suit you best on a Saturday so that I can set them up for us.

Can I just say — I am so glad you are here. You said yes first, and that means everything. You know better than anyone what this space feels like. You've already felt the warmth of this circle, and you know the kind of woman who belongs here. Think of one woman in your life right now — maybe she's navigating an empty nest, restarting after a big life change, or simply longing for a place where she is truly seen and understood. She doesn't need to have it all together. None of us do. She just needs to know this place exists. Would you be willing to send her the link and simply say "I thought of you"? Those four words might be exactly what she needs to hear today. Right now we still have 17 free Founding Member spots remaining — that's a gift you can pass on to someone you love, at no cost to either of you. Thank you for helping me build something beautiful.

It would be lovely if you would tell us a bit about yourself. Where you are and what you do. I will kick this off. I am Maureen, I live in Plettenberg Bay in South Africa and I am happily married to Ben and have two amazing fur babies Luke our cat and Chewie our yorkie. We have 8 children between us and 15 grandchildren. I love painting, singing, playing the guitar or piano, writing books and creating digital products. I am currently studying for my Master Life Coach in NLP and NSD. It is such a privilege to be here and share together. If you can make it be sure to join me on Saturday at 3pm SAST so that we can get to know each other. The theme for this week is to wear a hat to our tea party. Please bring your ideas as to how we can make this Skool Community a place where we can’t wait to invite our friends to.
