This week
A real win this week has simply been watching people lead by example. I want to give flowers to @Lidia Axe for being a powerful reminder that consistency, encouragement, authenticity, and showing up with intention still matter. In a world where so many people are trying to be seen, there’s something refreshing about someone who focuses on genuinely helping others grow, connect, and move forward. What stands out to me most is not just the work itself, but the energy behind it. The willingness to pour into people. The willingness to create space for others to learn, sharpen themselves, and step into greater confidence. That type of leadership leaves a lasting impact. Sometimes your biggest win is not just what you accomplish personally, but who inspires you to keep elevating. This week reminded me that being around the right people matters. Seeing others operate with purpose, excellence, and generosity challenges all of us to level up in our own way. So thank you, Lidia Axe, for being a great example of leadership, community, and encouragement in action. The influence is seen and appreciated more than you probably realize.

Female Community Crawl 🥂 💄💃🏻 - Coming to Town this Weekend
In April, I did a crazy experiment (as always) - a community crawl. It's like a pub craw, but with the communities. We've grown with new members. We learnt about each other. We got gifts. We had fun. It was AMAZING! (see some feedback in the photos, pls) LET'S DO IT AGAIN. This weekend, I am running a Female Community Crawl. Same rules. FEMALE communities ONLY. - if you have a community for women - if you want more members - if you available this weekend to meet & greet new members (and support other crawl participants) - if you have some sort of gift (optional) IMPORTANT: Your community must be free/ freemium/ or have 7-day FREE trial to participate. Let me know in the comments. I will send you the google form ⬇️ ONLY 9 communities! Sorry, only 8 - cause we always start HERE ))

@Lidia Axe yes this looks great! I'm in
Claude AI assistant
Hey everyone! I am filming a training on Claude tomorrow, specifically how to use it practically for your business, and I would appreciate your input here. What I need is your personal experience with AI, not necessarily with Claude. 1) Do you use ai tools for your work projects? What tools and why? What do you like and don’t like in each specific tool? 2) In your ideal world what specific tasks or jobs would you like ai to do for you? My free community on ai tools for founders and small business owners is coming soon with this training ❤️ Thank you beautiful people 🫶

I use Claude to help me brainstorm content ideas, edit Linkedin & Tiktok posts and plan & build websites. It just makes everything move faster. I'd love to use AI to create an influencer that runs fully automated 😆

@Ana Una I don't use Claude code - I use Claude to plan the website structure, page layout, copywriting, seo, aeo, etc. The influencer is an avatar not based on me. oh and I really wish Elevenlabs was better at Afrikaans accents
🛁🌙 I Think I Finally Found My TRUE Niche… But I Want Honest Feedback
As a mom, I realized I wasn’t just tired. I was overstimulated, mentally crowded, emotionally full, needed by TOO MANY people all day… then expected to somehow relax at night like nothing happened.😩 And honestly? I got tired of carrying the entire day into my nights. So, I started creating small nighttime rituals that helped me emotionally decompress, soften, breathe & FINALLY come back to myself again 🤍 That’s how I birthed The Soak Lounge™ because I want to help other women do the same. I’m not just speaking of self-care, just baths and no NOT therapy…. More like: ✨ nighttime emotional relief ✨ quiet rituals ✨ soft luxury restoration ✨ helping women stop carrying the day into their night So, my questions are: 👉🏽 Does this niche feel CLEAR to you? 👉🏽 Does it feel unique/different? 👉🏽 What immediately comes to mind when you hear it? 👉🏽 Would men also benefit from this experience from their partners? I genuinely feel like this is deeper than “wellness” or “bath content,” but I’d love honest outside perspective 🤍

I think you're onto something really good here... What feels strongest is the emotional decompression, not the baths, etc. The idea of helping overstimulated women transition out of being “needed” all day and finally come back to themselves at night feels much deeper and more differentiated than generic wellness content. A few thoughts that came up for me: Right now the feeling is very clear, but the niche itself still feels slightly blurry. It sits somewhere between self-care, nervous system support, emotional wellness, feminine restoration, bath rituals, etc. So I think the positioning could become even stronger if you got more specific about the actual transformation. The transformation isn’t: baths, relaxation, luxury or self-care. It’s emotional exhale, mental unclenching, helping women stop carrying the day into bed with them, creating a transition out of survival mode so they can properly rest. I also think “soft luxury restoration” sounds beautiful aesthetically, but it’s a little vague compared to the emotional decompression angle, which feels much more powerful and tangible. One other thing I noticed is that “The Soak Lounge” initially made me think bath products/spa content, but your message is actually about emotional relief and nighttime nervous system downshifting. So there may be a small gap between the name people imagine and the transformation you’re actually offering. I love the idea, good luck!!
I did it... I've just created my Skool community 😁
Hi everyone, I just launched my membership on Skool and would love your feedback on it. It's called Be Your Own Hero, a membership for women who are so good at keeping the peace they stopped trusting themselves in the process. Think practical safety skills: boundaries, voice, nervous system regulation, and physical self defence, built around how your body actually works under pressure. I'd love to know what lands, what doesn't, and whether the about page makes you want to find out more... I've decided to run with a 7 day free trial. There's foundational content (that I'm in the process of creating) that will be available on the trial then members only will have access to everything else in the classroom as I build it. Here's the link: https://www.skool.com/be-your-own-hero-8767/about

@Jordan H I appreciate you, thank you! Just to clarify, is this feedback based on what you saw on the video or what I've currently got on the about page? (image below)

@Carli B Shabazz thank you so much! That's great feedback. The character limit is so frustrating on the about page yet I can definitely add something in the images at the top. Will play around with that :-)
