The Beginning aka 2017
I can vividly remember being on a call with my best friend letting her know this idea I had about creating a website/community for women to come and just be themselves. The idea was sparked after I realized I was looking on my various social media accounts and found myself wanting the life and items featured in the highlight reel that is social posts. I even found myself going down a rabbit hole and realized I wasn’t alone. Reading “The Age of Instagram Face” only solidified the fact that they way we view ourselves has truly changed and thus Where Girls Gather was born, well named.
I spent the next few years working to make it perfect. I had more meetings with graphic designers and website developers than I care to count. All this because in the last decade it’s hard to feel like you can’t create a website without all the bells and whistles plus more. I spent thousands of hours talking about the site, thinking about the design and layout and making sure each element was perfect. You would think with all that work, this site would be the bees knees but as you are reading this you’re probably wondering WTF happened.
I decided to JUST START.
Actually Starting and Getting out of My Own Way
Imperfections and all I decided I would be open and let you guys witness my growth and journey first hand. No more dreaming with action, and no more talking with tangible work. I let my fear of failure and not being enough stop me from creating what I wanted in the first place, a place to foster growth.
How ironic that I wanted to help women grow but didn’t want them to see my do it myself. I just wanted to show up all perfect like I had everything together instead of inviting you guys to grow with me.
You Joining Us?!
So here’s your invitation! Join me on this journey as we become just more of ourselves. Will there be bumps and bruises? Yes. Will we have to call ourselves on our BS? Yes. Will it require some soul searching and hard WORK? Yes. But will it be worth it? Heck Yes!!
In this age of everyone being self aware and talking to their therapists I want to make sure I have follow through. That I not only see the flaws but do the actual work to change them. Because what’s the point of seeing the problem if you aren’t going to roll up your sleeves and solve it.
