There’s no shortage of visible business success online - often built on big launches, high output, and constant visibility. And while that genuinely works for some people, it can quietly create a standard that not everyone wants, or is able, to meet. This year, I’m intentionally amplifying different kinds of business stories. Inside the Quieter Business Community (for women building their businesses in their own way), I share a weekly Quiet Founder Story - spotlighting a member and her journey. And during our weekly coffee chats, one member has a simple 10-15 minute window to talk about her business. Just space to share what she’s creating, with others who are curious and supportive. If you’re building something thoughtfully or steadily, or in a way that doesn’t quite match the louder models of success, you’re very welcome to join us.

I started a new community this past week (even though having two splits my brain a bit). I'm still working out the finer points, but overall, it's based on my experience approaching retirement and on how my sensitivities as an empath and a highly sensitive person (HSP) shaped it. However, guys are 'sensitive' to being called 'sensitive' unless they're actually 'sensitive.' 🙄 It's a whole guy thing, so I'm being careful to frame it without overusing terms like 'empathic' and 'HSP.' Anyway, rather than a high-ticket offer, I'm offering a tiered community at $5, $27, and $47/month to attract more guys at a lower price point. I'm assuming $5/month will keep them in, since it's low enough not to trigger churn if they experience a financially challenging month, and they receive the main offer, even at that level. The Premium and VIP tiers are even better. Here's how I'm framing it. Your comments are welcome. Here's my about page text: ==========SKOOL ABOUT PAGE======= As men near retirement age, life often feels heavier rather than quieter. Many men 50+ discover that retirement or slowing down doesn’t bring relief. It brings more noise, internal questioning, and exposure to things they once powered through.
