Why You Should Create a Women’s Circle with Kalista Schwartz
One of the most important lessons that we have learned this year is the importance of community. Finding supportive people with shared interests, goals, and questions has helped us to keep moving forward in the face of challenges. These are the people that inspire and encourage us to pursue the things that make us happy.
Going Further into Circles
But more than that, there is another inner group that you need to be involved with. It’s called the “circle,” a small group of people where you can totally be vulnerable! It’s a safe space where you can share your struggles, achievements, and listen to other people’s stories too without being judged. (Check out how to navigate grief and learn to thrive after loss.)
We build that kind of sisterhood in the circles that develops deeper levels of connection and authenticity with each other. And it would definitely help a lot of moms ease some struggles when they can have people who understand their motherhood stories!
Tune in to this episode as Kalista and I discuss everything about circles!
