LOL…Get Ready to Live Out Loud
lmost four years ago, in the midst of lockdown during the pandemic, I started a private Facebook group for women to connect, encourage, share stories, and learn from each other. The pandemic was a strange and often isolating period of time, and my friends and real estate team leaders encouraged me to put my heart to work to help local women – to create a place for women to connect and share. Well, October 2024 will be four years since Ladies Living Out Loud was born.
In this group, we have had guest speakers, personal development, coaching, story sharing, vulnerability and bravery, and in person and online events over the past four years. We have over 1,300 members from local women to women in other states and other countries. So many amazing women have shared their journeys and growth to inspire and encourage others. So many fabulous women have shared their gifts, skills, and wisdom to help us from meal planning, time management, style, goal setting, and boundaries. I even had two friends in two different states who have never met each other connect in this group and one guided and supported the other in a huge career change.
Women are powerful. Our stories are powerful. We do not have to be an influencer or an expert to make an impact or a difference to each other and our communities. Women are strong, and we are even stronger together. And I believe, together we can change the world. This amazing group is what led me to start my Moving Forward Podcast – I have always loved listening to other people’s stories because that’s how we connect to each other. And every human has a story worth sharing. This group is the foundation of creating a community for not just storytelling like the Podcast, but for connection, coaching, personal growth and development, accountability and most of all, community.
As the world has gone back to “normal” I am seeing more and more women carrying heavy things for others while still dreaming wild dreams for themselves but struggling to engage and show up. So, Ladies Living Out Loud is showing up!!
We are creating a consistent monthly meeting for community, connection, coaching, and accountability. We will have time to talk, drink, eat and then coaching on a topic for the month – sometimes by a guest speaker. We will continue to connect and communicate for accountability – because we will need it and it is so much easier to be successful and keep our promises with ourselves with each other! We will start in August with a Goal Setting and Goal Getting meeting to review our goals for 2024 and plan on how to finish the year strong – however that looks for you.
My friend and teammate, Courtney Lester a certified Master NLP Coach, will be joining me to create powerful and applicable content so you will be sure to get so much out of this community! We will recreate the monthly in person events in our private Facebook group so the not so local ladies can join in too!
You were not created to live a small, safe life. You were created on purpose for a purpose, and you can only do that if you show up, share, and Live Out Loud. You are here to create change and impact. The world needs you to show up for yourself and for others. The world needs your story. The world needs you. Get ready.
