January is already shaping up to be a choose-your-own-joy month, and it starts outside. 🗓 Jan 10 - Winter Walk + Coat Drive at Lake Phalen We’re taking a refreshing winter walk around Lake Phalen while collecting coats, hats, gloves, and warm gear for local families in need. Joy + generosity = the most Minnesota combo there is. Cold cheeks. Warm hearts. Big impact. And we’re just getting started… 🥐 Jan 18 - New Year, New Joy Brunch Connection, good food, laughter, and that fresh-start energy we all crave in January. 💡 Jan 22 - MN IRL Brainstorm Night Ideas, collaboration, community magic. Bring your thoughts, your curiosity, and your favorite notebook. This is what Q1 is about: moving our bodies, opening our hearts, and building real-life connection in the middle of winter. Who’s in? And help us dream a little… what else should we put on the calendar for Q1 2026?

Did you know we have a creator our midst? @Stephanie Saathoff made these amazing hats and they were a hit as gifts this Christmas!!!

Another amazing IRL meetup - this time teaming up with Elevate MN to wrap presents, share laughs, and sprinkle a little extra joy into the season. ✨ There’s just something special about showing up together! Huge thanks to everyone who joined - especially @Lex Garza who invited us! Your energy, kindness, and heart make this community shine brighter than the Christmas lights. 🌟 Can’t wait for the next one! 🙌

We did it!!!!!! We brought online Skool into IRL!!! We weren’t the first (or second or even third) to take Skool offline, but we’re following the incredible example set by those who did - bringing this community to life in FRIGID MN! 🥶🥶🥶 Our Wild Goose Chase was our first adventure, but it was so much more than a meet-up. It was connection. It was laughter. It was proof that Skool isn’t just an online platform - it’s a living, breathing community. @Jeffrey Saathoff and @Stephanie Saathoff were amazing hosts!!!! (Oh and if you need a super cool hat for winter you NEED to see Stephanie’s creations!) And I want to thank @Goose Dunlavey and @Tony Loew for leading the way and helping to start to movement in so many cities across the world! So - here’s to the movement. Here’s to the people. And here’s to Skool - where community comes alive. 💛 AND - if you are in Minneapolis on Thursday join us at Pizza Luce in Roseville. So many more memories to make!

Can you tell I’ve spent the last few years in Texas? My Minnesota blood isn’t quite ready for this chill - but I’m so glad to be back! 💛 I can’t wait to meet everyone!! Have you checked out the calendar yet? We’ve got some awesome events coming up! Bundle up, grab that coffee, and remember… even in single digits, this community brings the heat. ☕✨
