We hear it all the time: Take care of yourself. Protect your energy. Schedule self-care. And over time, I've embraced this philosophy in my own life and business with great results.
But what if the real secret to thriving as a woman in business isn’t only about taking care of ourselves? What if it’s also about allowing others to take care of us?
This is the message at the heart of my new book, Helium: Leveraging the Power of Community to Lift Yourself and Others.
Think about it:
💛 Conversations with those in your circle can refill your cup and remind you of your purpose.
💛 Collaborations with other business owners and leaders can extend your reach and your impact — and remind you you’re not alone
.💛 Mentorship can light the path ahead and makes the next step clearer
.💛 And the support of others in your community can say, “I see you — keep going.”
When we surround ourselves with people who encourage, challenge, and celebrate us, our confidence grows, new ideas are sparked and momentum begins to build.

Being a part of -- and building -- an uplifting community means having people nearby who can check in on us, cheer us on, and remind us to take a break when we need it most.
If you're interested in learning more about the power of community care, join me this Thursday, November 13th at The Livery Yard in downtown Stratford for the official Launch Party of my new book, Helium.
