My heart bursts to be in a community where other women get curious to share perspectives and personal experiences while also recognizing there are moments where we just need to be. 

There is a deeper energy to experiencing this in person.

Being present in a group aware of the importance of self-compassion, boundaries, and those deeply familiar with the vulnerability of showing our emotions to others.

Amidst a beautiful conversation around a card we pulled, a group member felt a wave of emotion that bubbled up and spilled out through their eyes. What I witnessed after that was a beautiful example of genuine compassion. 

Each person sat comfortably, holding space with empathy for the moment of emotion. 

We’ve all been there. A wave coming when you least expect it—feeling vulnerable in front of others in a public setting. All knowing that the spilling out is needed as we learn how deep the feeling is. You recognize it is so deep in your soul that you can’t control the flow.

We sit. 

We breathe. 

With patience, with empathy, with compassion.

The action of holding the space. We use our new tool - Do you want to be heard, helped, or hugged? 

The response? “I just need a moment to be here.”

Here. 

Here, in this community of women that understand. 

Here, where I feel safe to allow these emotions to surface and feel the release. 

Here, where I can recognize that I’m not alone, and I can ask for support. 

Here, where it’s safe just to be. 

Here, where the support is just what I need at the moment. 

Here, where no one is trying to solve anything. 

Here, where there is patience, understanding, and genuine compassion.

Each time we create and sit in a space of compassion for other like-hearted people, we change the world. 

Here, compassion has its ripple effect and spills out into our homes, relationships, and businesses.

Thank you for being in this community. Thank you for sharing the profound vulnerability of your souls with me. Thank you for being on the journey with me, filling my heart and my passion for curiosity. [*1]
