One of the Biggest Lessons From My First Year Holding Circles
When I first started holding space about four years ago, I made a lot of mistakes.
Not because I didn’t care. Not because I wasn’t capable. But because I was trying to do everything the “right” way and work with the “right” people.
The truth? In that first year I spent a lot of money and energy working with people who did very little of the work.
I carried the logistics. I carried the organising. I carried the promotion. I carried the responsibility.
At the time I thought that was just how collaboration worked.
Then one day my best friend said something to me that completely changed my perspective:
“Angilina… it’s all you.”
She meant that the reason people came, connected and kept returning was because of the space I held.
The energy. The authenticity. The intention behind it all.
And the truth is — that comes with me wherever I go.
It doesn’t belong to a venue. It doesn’t belong to a collaborator. It doesn’t belong to a brand.
It comes from who I am and how I show up.
So one of the biggest things I want to do in this community is help people avoid some of the expensive and exhausting mistakes I made in that first year.
Especially:
• trusting your gut
• choosing the right collaborators
• knowing your value
• and not carrying other people’s weight.
If you’re building something in the wellness / coaching / space-holding world…
This stuff matters more than any marketing strategy.
So tell me:
Have you ever found yourself doing 90% of the work in something that was supposed to be a collaboration?
Let’s talk about it.
