I’ve been a member of this group for a while and love reading about what everyone is doing. I have not been so great about posting though because my community and the work we do there feels hard to put into words, I thought I'd start with the backstory. In short, my group is about using intuitive art as a meditative spiritual practice. But it is so much more than that! I have been on a spiritual path for over 30 years. I have read more books than I could ever count. But I still felt discouraged and unfulfilled, like something was missing. I understood the concepts like spirituality, manifestation, and divine guidance, but I did not really know how to live it consistently. I would have moments that felt magical and divinely led, but most of the time my spirituality felt separate from my actual daily life. A few years ago I started doing small intuitive paintings just to relax. Within a month I noticed I was less reactive with my kids and my husband. I felt calmer and lighter. During those painting sessions I would get insights about things that had been weighing on me. Sometimes I would free write after and the words would just flow in a way I could not have accessed before, and the messages were exactly what I needed in that moment. Over time, art became my go to whenever I needed to reset, tune in, or get clarity. For the first time in my life, I felt like I finally "got it!" The real test was when I found out I had breast cancer in June, literally the same day my dad passed away. My world turned upside down, to say the least, but my painting practice is what got me through with more grace and trust than I would have ever thought possible. This is what the SoulFully Creative Community is about. We use intuitive art as a meditative practice, to quiet the mind, reconnect, process stuck energy, and dialogue with soul/Source energy so you can move through life with more grace, clarity, and connection. If this resonates and you would like to try it out, I love to welcome you into the SoulFully Creative Community.

This question came up in the Classifieds this week: “Does it ever feel like some people just have it?” They open a community & bam 💥 they’re killing it! Here’s what I’ll say before the workshop starts: It’s almost never magic.🪄 It’s signal. 📡 Most people are posting consistently. Most people are putting in effort. But effort without structure doesn’t compound. Inside today’s session, we’re breaking down: - Why daily activity doesn’t automatically drive membership - The difference between engagement posts and recruitment posts - What AEO/SEO actually means inside a public Skool community - How 3–4 structured posts can outperform 30 scattered ones - The simple shifts that make AI and search engines understand who you’re for If you’ve been logging in every day… If you’re building the habit… If you’re wondering why the numbers aren’t reflecting the effort yet… This is for you. We’re not adding more activity. We’re sharpening the signal. 11am CST. Come get your posts working harder.

Hey everyone! My name is Melissa and some of you know I own Menopause Skool ~ a place for ladies to learn about hormonal issues and create their own balance! I didn't just wake up one day and say, "I want to help women with hot flashes and brain fog". Not at all ~ I learned the hard way ~ ignoring your hormones can wreck your long-term health! My hormonal imbalance caused cardiac issues that I will live with for life. I developed an irregular heartbeat, called PVCs (Premature Ventricular Contractions). The medications to treat my condition were horrible for me, so the other option was surgical intervention. I had Cardiac Ablation to get my heart back in rhythm. Also, my mitral valve was damaged & I have testing twice per year to monitor the status ~ I may need heart valve replacement in the future. Keep your health on track with the right knowledge, tools and strategies to prevent hormonal imbalance from stealing your longevity. You're never too young to prevent hormonal imbalance, and you're never too old to learn how to protect your health going forward. Join us in Menopause Skool today to get started on your path to better health!

(N’ those Unexpected patterns I didn’t see coming) Over the past week, I offered a handful of Christmas community audits to the epic members in THE BACKROOM. I went in thinking I’d mostly be supporting other community owners, helping them spot gaps, tweaks, missed opportunities. What I didn’t expect was how much it would teach me too.(this bit surprised me more than I thought it would, if I’m honest) Seeing different communities from the inside, back to back, gave me an outside perspective I didn’t have before. When you’re inside your own space every day, you often stop seeing certain things. You assume things are obvious, and forget what it feels like to arrive like a newbie, slightly awkward-ish, not wanting to get it wrong. (that slightly hover-y feeling… we’ve all been that person, right?) [did-you see my POSTAPHOBIA post?] We cannot make assumptions, all the answers are often there for us, through the comments, the data, the analytics etc… (and yet we STILL assume… iykyk) Basically none of what I’m sharing here is right or wrong. This defo ain’t judgement. It’s just PATTERNS I noticed repeating and looping, and a few things that made me have those little LIGHTBULB moments where I stopped and went… huh… ok then… and rethink how I build and lead community too.(also yes, I saw myself in some of these, not exempt here) ➖➖➖➖➖ THE BIGGEST SURPRISE GOING IN… I kinda expected to see lots of content problems. Weak posts. Not enough value, conversations etc etc. Messy structure all that jazz.(you know, the usual suspects) But what I actually saw, over and over again, was this: almost nobody has a content problem. What most people have is a MOVEMENT problem…. Beautiful spaces. Gorg solid branding. Thoughtful heart-led badass leaders. But many members sitting quietly, watching, unsure what to do next. (lurking, saving posts, thinking “I’ll come back later”… and later never comes pfffttt) ➖➖➖➖➖ PEOPLE DON’T ENGAGE BECAUSE THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT (often)
