I didn’t have a strong mother figure growing up. My mother left my life when I was in middle school and my ‘new’ mother, as she was called in my family, loved me the best she could but not as her own daughter. My family was full of men and boys and the closest thing I had to female connection was my cousin. I’ve had close friends here and there but never deep connections. I think I’d only allow the women in my life to get to know me so much because I was afraid of losing them. It’s something I’ve yet to fully explore.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I always dreamed I’d have a house full of girls but instead have boys and I am the only female in my family. Ever since I decided to go on my journey, I’ve been craving and searching for the kind of female connections where we reveal all of ourselves to each other and connect in deep, authentic ways. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I believe our past experiences, our pain points, the things we didn’t have growing up gives us special power to serve in meaningful ways. I look around at the community that surrounds me, the new connections and friends I’ve made and am in awe of the fast friendships built on vulnerability and mutual desire for growth. Empowered Sisterhood is the best way I could describe it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I believe all women on their journeys should belong to this community. We should feel belonging, show up for each other as our true selves and create space for each other to grow and thrive. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This is why I’m creating the Empowered Sisterhood community. If this resonates with you and you would like to start with belonging to a new community focused on authentic connection and personal growth through honest conversations, intentional events and other opportunities, please visit the link in my bio to sign up to receive a sneak peek and notification when it opens.
