I recently spent 3 days at 's retreat for The Connect, her coaching community I've been part of since December.β
β
Walking in, I'll be honest; I felt like I didn't belong. I'm the youngest person in the room. The least experienced. It would've been easy to make myself small.β
β
But I was reminded of something: I wasn't offered this seat by accident. If I'm here, it's because I have something to give too.β
β
Day one alone had one-on-one breakouts, group spotlights, tears, and a helicopter ride over the Hudson Valley (yes, really). A full day of going deeper β not just with the group, but with myself.β
β
Day two, Lori brought in to talk about anthropology and curiosity. In the middle of my own grief journey, it landed exactly when I needed it. Got my wheels turning about what I'm actually curious about right now; in my life, not just my business.β
β
I walked in unsure if I belonged. I walked out feeling loved, seen, and held.β
β
Grateful doesn't even cover it. π€
