The Loving push I Needed: Why I’m Sharing More About Cultivating Your SQUAD

This past weekend at Verve, I got the loving kick in the butt I needed from the wonderful Suzanne Castle, who reminded me of something I had almost forgotten—my superpower is helping women cultivate their SQUAD of Got Your Back GALS. And, honestly, I needed this reminder. It reignited my passion for something I know is vital to every successful woman’s journey, especially coming off the heels of GAL-A-CON and the amazing event that it was!

As I’ve grown in my personal and professional life, I’ve had incredible women confide in me about their struggles:

That gossip has ruined their organizations.
That they feel they’ve outgrown their closest friends.
That those who should be cheering them on just don’t understand or support them.

This kind of loneliness and frustration can be so isolating, especially for She.E.O.s

I know, because I’ve been there too.

But here’s the thing—it doesn’t have to be this way. What I’ve learned is that we can’t expect one person to meet all of our friendship needs; it's not fair to them or us to expect that from them. That’s where building your SQUAD comes in. Not every friend needs to fill every role, and it’s okay to have different types of friends who support you in different ways.

(I wrote a short post about the 5 Types of Friendship Here:

This realization was a game-changer for me. Instead of feeling isolated, I started intentionally building the right kinds of friendships—women who understood my journey, who could cheer me on, offer advice, and also hold me accountable.

I’ve decided to start sharing more about this because I know firsthand how crucial it is for She.E.O.s like us to have these deep, meaningful connections. So, you’ll be seeing more of me talking about how to intentionally Cultivate Your SQUAD and why it’s the key to thriving in both your personal and professional life.

Verve was the perfect reminder that this is my mission—helping women, especially those who are high achievers, create and nurture the SQUAD that will support them as they continue to grow.

Stay tuned, because I’ve got some exciting things to share that will help you do just that.

I had several ladies reach out to me yesterday that they wanted to join for just a portion of GAL-A-CON due to schedules...
It made me think, if you have a busy weekend, but you want to drop in on GAL-A-CON, send me a message and let's see if we can make it happen!

I know we're all busy, but here is my current thought:
There may be someone you need to meet, an encouraging word that you need to receive, or a new experience that you need to have, so I want the women in the room who are supposed to be in the room.

Don't let not being able to be here for the entire weekend stop you! Get in touch with me today and let's see what we can make happen.

Here is our schedule, so you can just let me know what you want to come for:

Join us for a warm and inviting start to GAL-A-CON! The beautiful Fireplace Alcove in the Hilton will provide a wonderful backdrop to kick-off our event!

Do you need a Confidence Boost?

I love getting the opportunity to help women Design Their Ideal Life...it is a privilege and I don't take it lightly.

I just had an amazing conversation about my coaching and the big point that we discussed today is that there are more areas in life to have success than just work.

This is a concept that I have worked on a lot in my life because I am very fortunate to love my work! Alex and I have also really worked hard to make sure our work goals support the future we are working towards and so sometimes we may get a little out of balance in this life category.

BUT there are other areas to have success in as well. It would be sad to be so successful in your career that you neglected your closest relationships and therefore end up alone.

Or if you're a mom, it is good to make sure that you don't just pour absolutely everything into your kids, neglecting your spouse, friendships, and self care-that doesn't serve anyone.

It's important to recognize that you need to feed the other areas of your life as well.

So, to help with the task of finding work you love and that is a fit for your life, who you are, and the goals of your family, I created a little Confidence Boosting AI Walkthrough that can help you explore your skills and jobs that you might enjoy, very quickly.

While it is not the only measurement of success, we do spend a good portion of our time in our work, so it would be great if it could be something you enjoy or at least helps support the goals you have in your life.

Let me know if you would like this walkthrough. It's only $8, but it could totally change the trajectory of your life and at the very least give you an excellent boost in your confidence.

This was a fun thing I asked AI to help me create for GAL-A-CON and really, what it means to be distinctly G.A.L.S. We love the things that make us different!

Here is what we finished with:

9. Creative and Fun Elements:
-We bring the FUN! So we love to infuse creativity and fun into every event.
-You will know when you have entered a G.A.L.S. EVENT because we are GALtastic at having fun parties, craft/art sessions, or playful icebreakers.

Did I miss anything? If you have attended a G.A.L.S. Community event, what is something that you remember about it?
