Coming back to your own authority means getting honest about where you’ve been doubting yourself and handing your power away. On Tuesday, April 7 at 10am EST, Shay Perna will be joining us in the Soul-Led Sisterhood for a powerful 90-minute workshop: “Come Out of Authority Addiction and into Self.” Normally, a workshop like this would be part of my Premium membership, but I’m making this special guest session available to all. Shay is an Inner Authority Mentor, photographer, and founder of The Perna Collective. Through identity work, mindset recalibration, intuitive guidance, and business strategy, she helps women break patterns of looking outside themselves for answers and return to a deeper trust in their own inner knowing. In this workshop, Shay will guide us through the difference between inner authority and external authority, and the ways so many women have been conditioned to seek permission, second-guess themselves, and rely on outside voices over their own truth. Together, we’ll explore what it looks like to come back to self-trust, deepen your inner knowing, and reconnect with what is true for you. This will be an interactive experience with journal prompts, reflection, and energetic release and activation woven in along the way. You can access this free workshop by joining the Soul-Led Sisterhood.

I have the amazing opportunity to announce that @Mimi Ramsey has agreed to join us all the way from Bali, so we now pretty much have 24/7 moderator support for this amazing community. Mimi is an absolute powerhouse when it comes to building communities that are full of personality and that represent your unique uniqueness! I'm really excited that she has agree to join the team, and I can't wait to have her present her own masterclass for you all. In addition, I want to sincerely thank @Mona Weathers for all of her work as the first CLASSIFIEDS moderator. She believed in this group from day one, championed it, and helped me build it into what it is today! Mona has had such incredible success in her own community that she has had to step down as moderator here so that she can support her own members fully, but she is still here, and you will still see her around. 😊 As you already know, @Faith Adebayo recently joined the moderator team and has been doing an incredible job supporting everyone in the comments and most especially bringing us very valuable information through her masterclass about how to increase our visibility through our CLASSIFIEDS posts! Faith will continue to work with me and Mimi as we have now grown to a team of 3!!! Please help me congratulate the effervescent @Mimi Ramsey on her new role!

I launched the Skool Directory inside my classroom, and what happened next honestly surprised me. I expected a few people to take the idea and run with it—but it’s taken on a life of its own. Community owners started remixing it in ways I never could have predicted. One member turned it into a Book Directory for the authors in her community. Shoutout to @Krista Brea 📚 Another member is considering building a version focused entirely on wedding planning resources for her wedding community. @Susan Elstner Nini 💍 And another member is fully customizing it to fit the unique needs of his community. @John Lewis 🔧 This is exactly why I give the directory to my members to use inside their communities. I recognized a real gap in onboarding—members need an easy way to discover people, resources, and next steps without feeling overwhelmed. The directory solves that, while also creating connection, visibility, and even monetization opportunities. Watching members adapt it to fit their own ecosystems has been the best proof that systems don’t need to be rigid—they need to be flexible. 👉 Want access to tools like this (and the systems behind them)? Join the Next Level Creator Hub. That’s where this all starts.

Hey everyone, I've been building a new course and need your input before I finalize it. The course: "The Magnetic Skool Blueprint: How to Claim Your Niche and Attract Members on Autopilot" What it does: Establishes you in record time as an authority and leader in your niche so the right people find you, recognize you as THE obvious choice, and join your community. What folks will walk away with: ✅ A niche statement so clear it draws your ideal clients in ✅ 1 flagship authority piece (Ultimate Guide, case study, or pillar content that positions you as THE expert) ✅ 10+ micro pieces of content (repurposed from your flagship—social posts, videos, threads that point back to your community) ✅One "Strong Opinion" Post ✅ A Quick Win Resource ✅ 30-day content calendar (filled out to your niche, ready to execute. No more "what do I post today?") ✅ Vault of CTAs (that make joining your community feel like a friendly invitation) The goal: Get visible fast, become the obvious choice in your niche, and attract members on autopilot. Bonus: I'll be sharing the exact strategies and AI prompts I use to create authority content for my ghostwriting clients. Here's where I need your help: Should I deliver this as: OPTION A: Self-Paced DIY - All lessons pre-recorded, or text-based, start anytime - Go at your own pace - Lifetime access - Support (async) in my community OPTION B: 4-Week Live Cohort - Same lessons + weekly live coaching calls - Hot seat feedback on your content - Accountability partners - Publish your flagship piece with live guidance OPTION C: Offer both, let people choose Drop a comment: 1. Which would YOU choose? (A, B, or C) 2. Why? Your feedback shapes HOW I launch this, and DOES NOT commit you to anything. I'm just really stuck in my own head on this one - LOL Thanks for the input. 🙏

I hope everyone had a great Christmas (if you celebrate)! For some of us, today is Boxing Day and a welcome day of rest and relaxation with the family. My 6 yo asked this morning why it's called Boxing Day, which resulted in a huge debate about the origins of the holiday. In a day and age when answers are so easily found online, it was kind of nice to sit and argue about all of our personal preconceived notions about the holiday... For those of you who are new (and there are a lot of you!) we are so glad that you are joining us! Since the main community is for promoting your own personal groups and services, we like to take Friday to look outward and share about the communities of others that we think are particularly beneficial and that others would like to know about. This is the only place/time where it's okay to share affiliate links (please disclose in your comment if your link is an affiliate link). IN THE COMMENTS BELOW, please share the name of a community that you think others would like to know about. Provide some context about who it's for and how they will benefit. Include the link, and then also mention or DM the person who owns the group to let them know you promoted them in the Classifieds. i guarantee you will make their day! #FriendFriday recommendations made in new posts will be deleted.
