What if the About page, the VSL, and the artwork are less important to your ICP? What if your About page visitors are more interested in the energy of the space? That energy starts with you, the leader. If you're struggling with self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or feeling like you have to lead in a certain way, that uncertainty is felt by your members. True engagement doesn't come from perfect posts; it comes from a leader who trusts themselves completely. I'd like to invite you to a 3-Day Radical Self-Acceptance Challenge I'm running, over on Vibrant & Rich designed to help you build that unshakeable foundation of self-trust. Here's the path we'll take: First, on Day 1, we quiet the inner critic. You can't lead with clarity while at war with a voice that tells you you're not expert enough. We'll identify these stories so you can separate who you are from the leader you think you should be. This creates the space for your authentic leadership to emerge. Second, on Day 2, we learn to trust our intuition. You cannot lead authentically if you don't trust your own gut. We'll practice listening to that inner guidance system—the one that knows what your community truly needs. This builds the self-trust to stop copying others and lead from your unique perspective. Finally, on Day 3, we practice authentic action. The ultimate act of self-trust is to lead as yourself. We'll apply this inner guidance to a real-life community decision, transforming self-trust from an idea into a lived reality. This is the path to creating a community that feels authentic, because you are leading it from a place of true self-acceptance. If you're ready to build that foundation, I'd love for you to join us.

We had such an amazing call today in the PERSONALS. Yes, it started off a bit awkward (and that was mostly my fault) but the ball got rolling and we were able to have a wonderful conversation about collaboration and engagement (3 members even stayed on the call for an hour after I had to leave - thank you @Alexander Walter for taking the reins!). We do two calls a month - one is what I call and exchange of business cards where we introduce ourselves, what our groups do, and who they are for. It is recorded and the recording is shared with the group (just to be clear, there are no actual business cards...). The other call is a version of what we did today where it is just a casual conversation about a topic of interest. The "business card" exchange is earlier in the day and usually has 20+ people in attendance. The discussion is later in the day and usually has about a dozen people in attendance. What I'm wondering is: is it the time of day that makes the difference or the type of call that makes the difference? My kids are really into the "Would You Rather" game right now, so I thought we could play along too. Please vote in the poll and then explain your answer in the comments below. If you are not attending these sessions because you are not a premium member, please let me know what would be necessary for you to become premium for $3/month. So the question is: Would you rather have two "business card" exchanges each month OR would you rather have the discussion meeting earlier in the day???
