Who we surround ourselves with shapes so much of our lives—our mindset, our confidence, our ability to dream bigger. A true, healthy community is about being surrounded by those who see you, support you, and genuinely want the best for you.
When I first moved to Austin, I met a lot of really nice people. But, it was challenging to cultivate deep connections like the ones I had back in my hometown in New York. I longed for the bonds I had developed with my life-long girlfriends and I just couldn’t seem to find the type of people who were reliable, supportive and elevating.
Several years went by and I was tired of wasting energy on surface level friendships that felt depleting. So, I decided to intentionally call into my life friends who had my best interest in mind, celebrated my wins and supported my growth as I would do for them.
Shortly after, I held my first women’s retreat. To my great surprise, the women who attended had all of the characteristics I was looking for in a quality friendship. They came with open hearts and were so loving to one another. They were fun and playful and also knew how to hold space for someone when they needed support. Over the years, the tribe grew and I was introduced to more and more amazing women at these events who I am grateful to call some of my dearest friends.
If you don’t already have that kind of community, it’s never too late to build one. Seek out the people who bring light into your life. Be intentional about who you share your energy with. And most importantly, be the kind of person who lifts others—because when we support each other, we all rise.
