How are you really doing today? Not the polished answer. The honest one. Is there anything you need right now? Support. A resource. A prayer. A laugh. A meal. A listening ear. You don’t have to carry it alone in here. If you’re feeling strong, stick around and hold space. If you’re feeling heavy, this is a safe place to set it down. Drop a word, an emoji, or a sentence below - or send me a DM. I am an ally! We’re here. I am here. Joy doesn’t rush you… it sits with you.

New year. Fresh pages. Same big hearts and even bigger community energy. I’m so grateful for this MN Skool crew. What started as “let’s see who’s out there” turned into real conversations, real laughs, and real-life connections. That’s the magic. As we step into this new year, here’s what I’m wishing for all of us: ✨ more reasons to get out of the house (yes, even in winter) ✨ more collaboration over competition ✨ more IRL moments that remind us we’re not doing this alone ✨ more joy, because honestly… why not? If you’re new here, welcome. If you’ve been here awhile, thank you for helping make this space feel warm even when Minnesota is doing its icy thing. Drop a comment and tell us: 👉 What are you excited about this year? 👉 One word you want 2026 to feel like 👉 Or an idea for something fun we should do together Let’s make this a year of connection, creativity, and community - Minnesota style.

Big, joyful shoutout to @MarKesha Smith for winning the invite contest!! 🙌✨ Markesha, THANK YOU for bringing new amazing humans into this community. That’s how this thing grows… one invite, one connection, one hello at a time. 💛 👉 Markesha please DM me your email so I can get your prize to you! I am sure some coffee and a few amazing new coffee mugs will help stave off the temps outside! And MN Skool fam… don’t stop now. Let’s keep this momentum rolling and show Skool exactly what we already know: ❄️ Minnesota really is the best community ever. The warmth here has nothing to do with the weather. Keep inviting. Keep welcoming. Keep showing up like the incredible humans you are. This is how communities grow. This is how friendships start. This is how joy spreads. Proud of this group. So excited for what’s next.

Minnesota friends 🤍 What if we built something here that felt less like networking and more like neighbors showing up for each other? Let us come together and uplift one another. Let us create circles of love where every voice is valued. No pressure to be impressive. No need to have it all figured out. Just real people, real conversations, and a whole lot of kindness. This is about connection. About saying “you belong here.” About making Minnesota feel a little warmer, even in winter. Grateful you’re part of this circle. Let’s keep building something good together.

Did you know we have a creator our midst? @Stephanie Saathoff made these amazing hats and they were a hit as gifts this Christmas!!!
