I’ve been sitting with the word COMMUNITY lately, like actually sitting with it, turning it over, poking it, side-eyeing it, because everyone and their dog uses it but hardly anyone talks about what it REALLY means. My brain kinda did that thing where it goes quiet for a second and then goes, “oh… OH… HELLO THERE. BARARA.”(that is my brain btw, yes I am weird, yes I am owning it) Community ain’t a platform. It sure ain’t a feature. It ain’t a strategy. It ain’t something you slap a name on and hope people behave nicely inside it. Mwah It’s a feeling. An internal hearty body-thing. A human thing. A “do I feel safe enough to be myself here?” thingy And when it’s missing, everything else feels HARD AF. (that’s the meh part) HERE ARE MY MIND BREAKDOWNS AKA THE PINGALINGS 💡 → BREAKING THE WORD OPEN (LIGHT BULB MOMENT) If you actually break the word down, it’s COMMON + UNITY. COMMON, as in shared ground. Shared experiences. Shared fears. Shared “is it just me that has a name for my brain?” (hmm do not answer that lol 😝) thoughts UNITY, as in togetherness, not sameness. Not everyone agreeing. Not everyone doing the same thing. Just choosing to stand together anyway. That’s it. That’s the root. That’s the OG meaning before marketing got its marketing mitts on it. Humans didn’t gather because it was pretty and cute. We gathered because it was how we survived. We needed each other to eat, to build, to grieve, to celebrate, to make sense of the world. Our bodies still remember that, even if our calendars and apps have made us forget it. → HOW COMMON + UNITY IS ACTUALLY BUILT (NOT THE FLUFFY VERSION — I SAVE THAT FOR DOGS + LOTS OF THEM) 🐾 Here’s what actually builds it, and this is basically my entire OBSESSION in life and business, HELLO. Someone says the thing out loud that everyone else is quietly thinking but hasn’t had the guts to say yet. A wobble. A doubt. A “this feels off but I don’t know why.”And suddenly ten people go, “OH MY DOG, SAME.” That’s COMMON ground right there.

I’m just going to say it as it is… I’ve spent YEARS with my skin going up and down. Years. Trying things. Not trying things. Stress. Hormones. Life. And I finally got to a place where I’m actually happy. It is what it is. So please, nobody come at me with advice. Try this. Try that. Have you thought about this cream, this supplement, this whatever. That is NOT what this is about. My skin is my skin. I fully accept it. It’s a combination of things. And right now, it is SO much better than what it was. So, so much better. I’m genuinely happy in myself. I’ve done a LOT of work on loving myself as I am.I love my quirks.I love my weirdness. My tattoos my piercings are my little bits of jewellery on my body and my face. I’m all for them. I love tattoos and piercings on other people, and yes, I love the piercings on my own face too. And then… to put a post out and have seven vile, disgusting men all hype each other up for absolutely NO FUCKING REASON with nasty remarks like this. Honestly? Very sad.Very, very sad people. And here’s the bit that hurts… It takes me straight back to my childhood. Being bullied. Being picked on just for being small. Literally for being small. That was enough back then. And it pulls that feeling right back up. So yeah, I’m feeling RAW right now. Really raw. I don’t want sympathy. I’m not asking for it. I want to expose this kind of behaviour. Yes, I’m bitter about it. Because nasty people are FUCKING NASTY and the world does not need more of this shit. If you know me, you know one of my mottos in life is “may all beings be happy.” Humans. Animals. Everything. Kindness is such a simple act. And when someone can’t even manage that, it genuinely breaks my heart. So I’m calling it out.I’m saying it as it is.I’m not polishing this. I’m feeling very raw and very vulnerable right now. BE KIND - that’s all ❤️ shared here on FB

Now I will say I try not to take this personally, and part of me does not... but I hate NASTY people, full stop... I know they obvs are miserable fckers and have their own stuff going on, I get it... We all do, hey But to write this nasty shit on my FB ads, when its not even targeting men, i HAVE NO IDEA where and how they got here... They do not know me, and judging me the way they all look tells me more about them Yes, it kinda sucks and hurts, but mostly I am sad that people in this world think it's okay... I am not looking for sympathy, and defo not to give them back anything... no no no... no response is best in my case, but if anyone wants to pop on the reel and share your kind words, some love and joy, then go for it here - https://www.facebook.com/reel/837404382381868

On Monday I opened a 7-DAY FREE TRIAL for a community of mine. I’ve never done a free trial before, not sure I’ll ever do one again, but this week (7th–12th) I’m using it very intentionally as a data + learning week. Day one, a few people jumped in. Since then, it’s gone a bit flat. What’s interesting though is that people are still looking — I can see from the data that eyeballs are landing on the About page, but they’re not clicking into the free trial. So I’d totes love some honest, outside perspective… Here’s the About page 👉 https://www.skool.com/unstoppable/about I’m not looking to be coached, fixed, or told what to do. I’m just curious what this looks like from the outside in… If you were looking at this page, what would be the reason you WOULD NOT jump in? Is it not clear what it is? Is it just not your jam? Does the $1 feel like a barrier even with a free trial? Is it a “looks interesting but not right now” thing? There’s no right or wrong answer. I’m just trying to understand the gap between interest and action, because that’s where the gold is. Appreciate any thoughts you’re willing to share. And if you don’t have any, also obvv totes fine I’m just gathering real data this week and thought I’d ask real HUMANS rather than guess in my head. Thank you BSS 🖤

And if I’m being honest, I’ve also been a little bit distant with my emails too, and I just wanted to say why, instead of pretending I’ve been super polished and intentional and all that jazz. Because… LOL. No. We had the whole festive thing, obvs, and I did actually give myself a bit of a RESET. A proper one. A little slowdown. A little “let me just breathe and not be ON for five minutes” moment. And that part was really needed. Not because I don’t love what I do … I REALLY do … but because sometimes you need to step back to feel the energy again, yeah? And also… Skool is just FRICKEN ON FIRE. Like, I am falling madly, obsessively, epically, borderline unhinged-ly in love with that space. I know some of you love it, some of you hate it, and some of you are still side-eyeing it like “hmm, not sure yet”, which is fair. EVERYTHING TAKES TIME. Platforms take time. Communities take time. Trust takes time. I’m good sauce with that. So here’s what’s actually going on in my world… I’ve got The Backroom, which is my $1 community, and yes… HELLO I’ve got a FREE TRIAL running right now. And I can hear some of you already going, “Why the fck would you do a free trial on a $1 community, Mimi?” And honestly? I don’t have some perfectly packaged answer. I wanted to TEST it. I was curious. I wanted to see what happens when the tiniest barrier is removed and people can just come in, have a nosy around, feel the vibe, see if it’s their jam or not. The Backroom is where the REAL SHIT gets said. Messy middles. Woops moments. Wobbles. Side thoughts. Half-formed ideas. Real humans having real conversations. No guru energy. No big-ass egos. No pretending you’ve got it all figured out. Just EPIC HUMANS being human. If that sounds like your thing, come have a look. If not, all good too. And then there’s MYM, which is honestly going through some BIG shifts right now inside Skool. Magnetise Your Message is evolving in such an EPIC way, I AM EXCITED!!!
