Fleurieu Planning Stars turned dreams into plans last week!

Our Fleurieu Chapter, led by Donna Adams, and Kate Fleming, , had their first event for the year!

Centred around planning, the workshop allowed women to set their vision and plans for the year in motion!

Meeting once a month, the Fleurieu monthly sessions are an opportunity for women to support each other and focus on varying topics at each session with the guidance of Donna and Kate.

Further, the session fees for these events, are used to pay a local soccer club to use their space, coffees are purchased for attendees from a local business and remaining funds reinvested to provide more in depth workshops such as these! This allows us to further build a circle of local support in the region.

Thank you to Donna and Kate for gifting their time to our Fleurieu women each month and to all the women who attend who support one another!

Together we all soar higher! 🦋

This year has been one of great change for me. It’s had some tough lows and some exciting highs. It’s had lots of the same and lots of surprises too!

With my stepping into a full-time career role earlier in the year, no longer mentoring and SA Woman being predominantly online or at other locations, my need for an office space is no longer required.

So has begun the big journey of going through a decade of storing things from my coworking space days, to my personal training, to my business nurturing and to all the wonder of SAW.

As I opened a draw I found some of my business cards from the last 7ish years. This isn’t all of them but was a reminder of my own evolution and the businesses I’ve created.

Going through cupboards has been my own Eras tour! Copies of Soar magazine. Pull up banners of every SAW brand iteration. Workbooks for my business nurturing circles. SA Woman Awards booklets. Summit flyers. Lanyards and name tags. Photos snapped at events over the years. Collections of items reflecting chapters.

We can sometimes forget all we have achieved when we have also experienced heartache and challenge. The lives impacted. The connections that were made and the friends that entered our life. The moments of personal growth and evolution. And the things we overcome to be where we are today.

As I work to say goodbye to a space that has held me and many women over the years, I also say hello to the next Era to unfold. I’m seeing glimpses of it, it’s calling me back to my roots. It’s grounding. Its clarity. It’s holding strong to the beliefs I have always held and the passion I still have for our local women in business . It’s finding a way to have flow where career and business soar together harmoniously. And It’s owning the person I have become - and the journey it has taken to get here.

As the year comes to a close, take time to reflect on your many Eras. Not just this years story. But the many that came before it. We can get so caught up in setting goals and looking ahead, but the past is equally something to embrace. Be proud of what you have achieved and who you have become! Running a business is no easy feat, but everyday we are all making it happen! I’m proud of us.

Wishing all a Merry Christmas and a day filled with joy and time with those you love! 🎄

To those who find this time of year tough, I send love and squeezey hugs. To those missing loved ones, I walk beside you, and today is one of the tougher times we miss them most. Be gentle on yourself and find ways to fill your cup.

Our Fleurieu Chapter had a brilliant Connected event today! Hosted by Leader Donna Adams Consulting - Individual and Corporate Coaching, women in business and careers gathered to build connections and also provide support and encouragement!

I really love seeing our women coming together to lift each other up, and am so grateful for Donna and Kate who have built the Fleurieu Chapter to provide a supportive space for women to meet each month!

Our Fleurieu Chapter holds their Connected events at the Seaford Rangers Soccer Club and supports a local cafe with coffees for each attendee. So not only are women supporting women, but they are further supporting the Fleurieu Community! Keeping it local! 🦋

How often do we do that? Respond with 'good thanks', when really we are anything but that.

For over 2 years I wasn't ok. I didn't have the energy to show up as I once did. I can count on my hands the number of people that properly checked in with me over that time. The irony, that I had spent years prior checking in on others, sending messages to touch base, creating spaces to help others feel seen and nurtured.

As I began to come out the other side, I had someone say 'I thought you had been quiet'. Yes I had. I felt like I was walking through mud and constantly falling over. How I wish more people had noticed and acted with kindness and understanding in interactions.

I eventually decided to respond truthfully when I was asked that question - 'how are you'.

Sometimes it was 'no I'm not, but I will be'. Other times when I felt safe, I would open up more about the challenges I was facing in business and life. Not just for me, but also as an opportunity for the other person to know that we don't always just have to reply with 'good thanks'.

Now that I am back in a place where the sun feels like it's shining again, and that place of despair seems further away. I can truly appreciate the importance of reaching out to those around you - especially the quiet ones. Sometimes people just want to feel seen and heard or just want to have someone who will listen and support them.

So when you notice people are quieter around you - send then a text or give them a call. If you notice something seems off with someone you know, touch base.

Not just on this day every year, but other days too. Make today not just your reminder prompt, but the day you take action to look out for those around you.

x Carly
