@Cate Stillman Thanks Cate. That is definitely where I've landed in this experience. It's also teaching me to structure my sales process in a way that ensures I am selecting people who will engage in a meaningful way that really adds value to the Collective, and doesn't drain my focus.

@Nina Saacks Thanks for your reflection. This is a great opportunity to be accepting of differences in approach. She has certainly benefitted from her previous work in private and smaller containers. Hopefully things shift for her along the way. Appreciate your shared experience!

Yesss! I'm with you Paula. My club is feeling so dynamic, in part because of the other awesome women I'm bringing in as "Guest Experts". I'd love to talk about what we could each offer one another's clubs.

Haylee, I am deeply sorry for your loss. As @Patrick Garlinger mentioned, I too have been navigating deep loss with the passing of my father- leaving me an orphan, and the flare up of significant mental health challenges within my family since October. I took time away for sure. But, as has been mentioned more than once, this community is my anchor. It keeps me tethered to my vision while surrounding me with people who understand that crossroads like these are portals to transformation - which each of us are striving to also provide to our members. I've kind of decided this is my initiation into the medicine path I've chosen. I agree with what @Kavita Kat Macmillan and Patrick said about having a specific community space to be able to address what so many of us are navigating- developing leadership and staying rooted to our practices while also encountering grief and our own major transitions. I know there are elements within Club Thrive that can support us, for sure. But, a specific space to rap on these experiences and support one another through them would be of great benefit. I also resonate deeply with what you said @Kavita Kat Macmillan about the work you do not allowing for "just pushing through." My work is so intricately tied to grieving, allowing, feeling to heal, and trusting in the Universal flow that continuing to show up - messy when necessary is fundamental to the feminine leadership I'm exemplifying and encouraging in my members. Showing our clients we are real human who flexibility, and will make adjustments and allowances for processing, but still courageously putting one foot in front of the other gives them permission to have grace with themselves when they too inevitably encounter grief. Still, support in doing this is so helpful. We're actively carving a new pathway of doing business AND having compassion for humanity. This requires support in all directions! I'm here anytime @Haylee Hickman

@Haylee Hickman Yes, we are blessed to be supported with so many community resources. Just trying to find grace for myself through all that I am holding! Day by Day. I hope you and your family are also getting the support you need. I cannot imagine suffering that particular kind of devastating loss. Sending you so much love and light.

I often don't feel ready for these calls, but always get something from them. This week I'll be there in person, and will have two live sessions to reflect on (one BAMFAM from last week, one new lead!) and one to practice for on Thursday!! Looking forward to it.

Excellent Kavita! Your dedication to refining your slides and one pager really show. They're both beautiful and very inviting. I want to attend one of your events!! You are in Portland, correct? I have high hopes to make it back there this Spring. Aesthetically speaking - the "exchange" slide stands out as quite different from the others - as intended, I'm sure. But the coloring of the middle price range - the red- isn't a cohesive contrast to the rest of the slides. The background highlighting of the price is too light, barely noticeable. The rest is warm, clear, inviting and quite seamless.
