I believe we’re not meant to build our businesses alone.

Some of the biggest opportunities in my business have come through relationships, conversations, collaborations, referrals, and women opening doors for one another.

It’s one of the reasons community has become such a big part of how I work and what I create.

On Wednesday, October 7, I’ll be joining an incredible group of women at in San Francisco for The Future of Entrepreneurship is Community Building.

We’ll be having an honest conversation about what it looks like to build with people instead of simply building for them. And how community can create more visibility, creativity, collaboration, resilience, and sustainable growth.

If you’re a Bay Area entrepreneur, creative, or someone dreaming about what you want to build next, I’d love to see you there.

Wednesday, October 7 | 6:30–8:30 PM
Fort Mason Center for the Arts, San Francisco

Because you really don’t have to build alone.

We flew to Kaua‘i to visit my parents and found ourselves in the middle of Hurricane Lowell on Monday, September 7th.

Thank you to everyone who has checked in, sent love, and prayed for our family. We are safe. My parents’ home made it through, although several large trees were uprooted or split in half.

We are among the many families still without power. Thankfully, we still have running water, just no hot water, and my mom’s gas stove has allowed us to cook.

A family friend shared their backup generator with us, so we’ve been able to keep the refrigerator and freezer running. In return, we shared water with them.

In the day, we focus on cleanup and repair on my parents’ land. At night, we go to sleep when it gets dark or read by flashlight and candlelight.

An abundance of ruby red grapefruit fell from a tree that didn’t survive the hurricane, Zoe made a “FREE GRAPEFRUIT” sign and placed bags outside for neighbors to take.

These small exchanges of food, water, power, care, and generosity have reminded me how people show up for one another in times of crisis.

While our family is safe, other parts of this beautiful island have been deeply impacted.

Homes, farms, roads, power lines, and small businesses have been damaged. Thousands of people have been without power and water, and many families are facing a much harder road to recovery.

If you feel called to support Kaua‘i:

🌺 Give directly through Storm Kōkua at stormkokua.com, which connects support with verified families, farms, and small businesses affected by the storm through Hawai‘i Mutual Aid (hawaiimutualaid.org).

🌺 Donate to Mālama Kaua‘i at malamakauai.org to support local families, farms, and homes.

🌺 Support the Hawai‘i Community Foundation’s Stronger Hawai‘i Fund at hawaiicommunityfoundation.org.

🌺 Support Lāhui Foundation at lahuifoundation.org, which is providing resources and direct community support to people impacted by Hurricane Lowell.

🌺 Donate to Hawai‘i Foodbank Kaua‘i at hawaiifoodbank.org/kauai to help provide food and essential supplies to families during the recovery.

Continue supporting Kaua‘i’s locally owned businesses. Buy a gift card, place an online order, book a future visit, or share their work.

If you already have plans to visit in the immediate future, please check with your accommodations and consider postponing while the island’s limited resources are focused on local families.

Kaua‘i is more than a beautiful place to visit. It is our second home with our family and community we love.

Please keep this island and everyone who calls it home in your prayers. And if you’re able, please give, share, and support 🌺

I immediately thought of multiple women in my life who need this book...

Ambitious Mother by Anne Welsh explores the tension so many women feel between career ambition and motherhood, and what becomes possible when we stop treating the two as competing identities.

What if motherhood can actually expand the way we lead rather than diminish it?

And instead feeling mom guilt, what if it was actually grief that we can’t be in two places at the same time?

We celebrated Anne + the launch of her book, surrounded by women connecting over so many of the conversations inside these pages.

Including my own story of how I’ve navigated being a mom, building several businesses over the past 18 years, and choosing a different pace.

It was extra special to be in community alongside my friend Jen Kem | Master Brand Media and the amazing hosts Kelly Ling | Career Doula for Ambitious Parents Sundays Both& | Kaleana Quibell (and with a beautiful spread at Avotoasty 🥑 😋)

Congratulations, Anne! I’m so excited to see this book out in the world.

I had the joy of watching my client, Kristel, founder of , bring a beautiful vision to life!⁠
⁠
She hosted a Leadership Mastermind Kamayan Tea Party at in Berkeley, bringing together leaders for an evening of meaningful conversations and connection.⁠

What made the evening even more special was remembering how our own relationship began.

Kristel first discovered my work at a Sacred Business Circle. She came into the room, bought a signed copy of She Builds, read it, and later applied to work with me.

Now I get a front-row seat as she creates her own spaces for leaders to gather.
⁠
Kristel, I'm so proud of what you're building and the way you're leading.⁠
⁠
This is why I keep saying that the future is analog.⁠

Something happens when we step away from our screens and sit face-to-face, heart-to-heart.

We can feel whether someone is the right teacher, mentor, collaborator, client, or community for the season we're in.

No amount of digital back-and-forth can fully replace the trust that's built in person.

Get out in your local community and meet people (even if you're a social introvert like me!) ⁠

Let people experience who you are beyond your bio and business title.
⁠
If you’re local to the San Francisco Bay Area, my next Sacred Business Circle is on Friday, August 14h.

You'll experience what it's like to be coached by me and be surrounded by other women entrepreneurs.⁠
⁠
Comment CIRCLE, and I'll send you more details. Or check the link in bio!⁠

The power of small rooms

A large audience can amplify an idea, but a small room can help make it clear enough to be shared on bigger stages. When we have a trusted community, we can stay curious, experiment, and take creative risks.

The most important ideas in my life rarely came to me when I was sitting alone trying to make them perfect. They emerged through conversation, reflection, and listening. This is why I believe so deeply in gathering.

Not traditional networking, where people enter a room hoping to be seen by the right person.

We need intentional spaces where we feel safe enough to think out loud, share unfinished thoughts, ask better questions, and be inspired by the presence of others.

If you’re craving a space to be witnessed, Sacred Business Circle is an intentional place to begin.

Learn more + join us at www.community.jadahsellner.com/sacred-circle

Because not everything we build begins in front of a huge crowd. They begin in a small room that feels safe enough for us to be in the messy middle.

She Builds Collective retreat at my studio in Northern California.⁠
⁠
I’ve been thinking about how much can happen when women entrepreneurs have three uninterrupted days to step away from the day-to-day and actually hear themselves think.⁠
⁠
There’s something expansive about having space to slow down, be witnessed, and look at your business from a wider lens. To ask, what is this next season really asking of me?⁠

We talked about voice, visibility, support, boundaries, expansion, and what it means to be seen in your work without feeling exposed.

So many of the women in the Collective are in a season of showing up more boldly. Sharing their work more clearly. Expanding their networks. Making bigger asks. Creating new products. Collaborating on events. Launching books. Refining offers. Hiring team members.

And also, they’re human and hold a lot. So we talked about business. But we also talked about…

taking our kids to the park

midlife body changes

personal care products we love like magnesium soaks + Chick Whip

somatic therapy, weighted blankets, myofascial massages

personal assistant referrals

and what it looks like to build a business while still tending to our lives

This is the heart of She Builds. Building a business in devotion to leading with love.

Because sometimes the next level comes from a spreadsheet. Sometimes it comes from a brave decision made while surrounded by women who believe in your dreams.

Women entrepreneurs deserve support on a strategic level and a soul level. Support that helps you make clearer decisions, trust your intuition, honor your capacity, and remember that you don’t have to build alone.

Ideas become real when we talk to other people.⁠
⁠
This event began as a conversation at a She Builds Collective retreat.⁠
⁠
An idea was shared out loud, and what could have remained a “maybe someday” conversation became a real collaboration between , , and ⁠
⁠
This is one of my favorite things about bringing creative, bada$$ women together. ⁠
⁠
You never know which conversation will become an introduction, an event, a partnership, or an idea that none of us would have created alone.⁠
⁠
A few months later, founders, leaders, and bestselling authors gathered to explore how we can use new technology without losing the humanity that makes our work meaningful.⁠
⁠
The conversation was moderated by , founder of , with panelists , founder of , , author of Uncompete, and , VP of People Operations and Head of Employee Experience at .⁠
⁠
We talked about leadership, culture, and using technology to support our work without replacing the relationships that make the work meaningful.⁠
⁠
We also painted and co-created a colorful mural facilitated by muralist , ate delicious bites, and spent time actually connecting with one another. ⁠
⁠
Every local Bay Area member of She Builds Collective showed up to support the event, including , , and , and our resident life coach .⁠
⁠
This is what women supporting women looks like in action.⁠
⁠
We need spaces to share our ideas out loud, make introductions, and expand our network together. ⁠
⁠
If there is an event, project, or idea you've been holding in your head, ask yourself:⁠
⁠
Who could I invite to join me?⁠
⁠
Instead of only thinking about how you will make it happen, consider who could help you bring it to life.⁠
⁠
When we stop building in isolation, we can find people who share our values, bring complementary strengths, and open the door to opportunities we could not create alone.⁠
⁠
What idea could grow if you stopped building it alone?

Today, George Brian Sellner turns 51! 🥳

He committed to sharing his voice on social media every day for 50 days.

And he did it!

He stretched himself, showed up consistently, and let himself be seen.

He shared personal stories, his beliefs and philosophies, his tears, his joy, and the work he is here to do with men.

He filmed in the redwoods. Took men on hikes. Played his handpan. Sang to children. Rode his skateboard.

He talked about marriage, fatherhood, habits, purpose, self-love, and the inner work required to create real change.

I watched him move through the discomfort of expressing himself publicly while continuing to choose vulnerability, courage, creativity, and service.

What I love most is that the man you see in these videos is the man I experience behind the scenes. For real.

He's playful, spiritual, soulful, deep, down-to-earth, funny.

A true artist and renaissance man.

He takes care of his body and stays committed to his daily practices. He sends voice notes and blessings to our daughter every single day. He brings so much fun and depth into our relationship.

He is willing to keep learning, growing, and becoming more fully himself.

Love, I am so proud of the way you have shared your voice this year. I know the streak is not the point. It's the person you became along the journey.

Each post became another act of trusting yourself and offering your gifts to the world.

I love watching you lead men toward deeper connection and peace. I love watching you make music that brings children and families together. And I love the life we continue to create side by side.

Happy 51st birthday! I’m so grateful I get a front-row seat to all that you are becoming.

Help me show some b-day love to George!

Celebrate and follow his work:

for his personal reflections on habits, marriage, fatherhood, and meaning.

for men’s circles and brotherhood, where good men no longer have to carry everything alone.

for music-making and meaningful connection with children and families in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Leave him a message or share one of his videos with someone who might need to hear it.

I almost skipped celebrating my birthday again because May was so full.

Maycember Mayhem has a way of taking me out.

Between Zoe finishing the first year of college, finding off-campus housing, Mother’s Day, my birthday, and all the end-of-school-year logistics, I almost let another birthday pass without really celebrating it.

But this year, we made it happen.

and I went to BottleRock with our friends and

We were at each other’s weddings, our husbands are best friends, and she is the person who convinced me to get on Instagram in the first place.

That little nudge eventually led to building a community of more than 400,000 people with Simple Green Smoothies.

Celebrating together felt full-circle in more ways than one.

is officially my midlife festival speed.

We’ve done Coachella when I was seven months pregnant with Zoe, and we’ve done Outside Lands. But give me flat grounds, easy entry, really good food, and a little VIP bougie-ness.

We ate well, danced to live DJ sets, discovered new bands, and watched Lil Wayne, Ludacris, BØRNS, Teddy Swims, sombr, Chaka Khan, and Kool & The Gang.

We also slowed things down with a spa day and massages in Calistoga , followed by dinner at RH Yountville.

Then I ended my birthday month with a delicious double date with .kem and her hubby Nate at the new

Anti-hustle doesn't mean anti-work. It means I don't want my business, responsibilities, and everyone else’s needs to consume every season of my life.

There will always be a reason to postpone joy. Another deadline, family need, launch, or saying, “maybe next year.”

But the point of building a sustainable business isn't only that it can keep running. It’s that I can step away, be fully present, and enjoy the life I’m building it for.

This year, I’m so glad I made room to celebrate.

What's your relationship with celebrating your birthday?

Do you make space for yourself all month long, or is it easy to skip making yourself the center of attention?

I invite you to put joy on your calendar before another season passes.
