A few years ago, I went to a retreat in the Outer Banks knowing no one.
That’s where I met Dawn.
And Courtney.
And since then, we have traveled and attending different retreats together and I got to meet…Heather. And Julena.
This weekend, I was in Boise celebrating Dawn as she shared about her summit to Everest.
And I kept thinking about HER.
The women you meet when you leave your house and do something outside of your ordinary.
The ones you never could have planned for.
The friendships you didn’t know were waiting for you.
The people who end up changing the way you experience your own life.
It’s rarely convenient.
It’s almost never the perfect time.
And yes, sometimes it feels like too much money. That first retreat where I met Dawn and Courtney we paid $5,000 to attend. And they were worth it.
What to know the truth? Staying home has a cost, too.
Because there are women you are bound to meet when you go.
And there is a version of you waiting on the other side of meeting them.
Who you become when you meet HER is a version of yourself just waiting to be let free.
