Nearly three months ago, I started a coaching community for women called "Day 1."

I had no fucking idea what I was doing and I was honest about that with the people who joined. 😂

"I am also on Day 1." I said.

This has turned out better than I could have ever expected. Everything I hoped would happen, happened. ❤️

Over the last ten weeks, we've explored a lot, including Resistance, Limiting Beliefs, Self-Sabotage, Triggers, The Hero's Journey, trusting Your Inner Guidance, and Identity Shifting.

I'm reopening Day 1. in a little over a week, and I thought I'd answer some questions that you might be curious about.

​

-What is "Day 1?"

Day 1. is a coaching community for women. I lead this community. I am not a teacher, but you will learn from me, and the rest of the community. Every person alive has tied their own knots, and this group is designed to help you untie them.

Day 1. calls ARE recorded and uploaded for you to watch in our own private space called Circle. We have a different call theme each week, and those themes are based on the conversation going on in the group at the time.

THE CONCEPT of "Day 1." is based on the idea that everything happens now. Who you are today is not contingent on yesterday. One of my members put it simply: "it’s never too late and each day is a fresh start. It’s a beautiful thought."

​

-Where is this community?

All of our calls are on Zoom. We have calls on Saturdays at 11:00 am Eastern. Not everyone goes to every call. Not everyone shares on every call.

I host the Day 1. online community in a space called Circle. It looks like a social media space, but it holds a different energy, as it's purposeful, and doesn't hold the inherent distraction of social media containers. Day 1. members connect with one another in that space throughout the week.

​

-How does it look to join Day 1?

So, here's where it's cool! You will be a part of our second cohort, so you're joining a community that ALREADY EXISTS!

Last time around, it was my hope that this space would become something empowering. (**I had a good feeling- I had deep rapport with my founding members so I would have been *very* surprised if it didn't turn out the way it did.)

NOW, I can say for certain that it is an empowering space. Every person in Day 1. is warm, compassionate, excited, and committed to their own growth and wellbeing.

The people who joined Day 1. in the first cohort (one of my members calls them the Day One Plank Owners) established a container that lends itself for exploration and connection.

Here's some feedback I got from my founding members:

That's been really special. Creating this space and holding it each week has been one of the most important things I've ever done.

​

-How long is Day 1. open?

Day 1. is a membership! You can have a subscription where you pay monthly, or three months at a time.

You can manage your own subscription to Day 1. I don't have to do it for you, but I will if you have tech issues.

I'll be sending specific emails about the reopening/onboarding process so if you want to get those, let me know by clicking this link.​

​

-Day 1. is not a "program."

It's an ongoing community. BUT, the window of time where you can join is only every few months.

It's hard to establish trust in a community where people are always coming and going. Opening it up by cohort helps people develop connection with one another.

Because you will be joining a community that already exists, you can take your time feeling it out. I don't have an expectation that new members will share on every call. I don't expect that everyone will be eager and ready to deep dive each and every week. You might never feel ready for that.

I also don't have an expectation that you will want to be coached by me. I know- wild. But here's the thing: the Western model has taught us "one teacher teaches students."

That has SET US UP FOR FAILURE because we're always looking for the "right way to do it" from ONE PERSON.

You might resonate more with another member more than you do with me. Maybe someone else's shares will deeply touch you. I have NO EXPECTATION for how you need to be in this group. The only thing I can guarantee is that you'll be loved and supported. "Come as you are." 🎵

​

-Anything else?

The message I used the first time around to explain to you what I was creating was this: we need people.

When I was massively overhauling my life, getting out of my negative thought spirals and patterns, and leaving behind the behaviors and identities that didn't serve me, the main thing I lacked was community.

Everyone I knew, every friend I had, was a person who was stuck in the same shit spiral as I was. They didn't care for their bodies and minds. They just wanted to pacify.

It was hard as actual fuck to find "people" in my 30's. I'd been building my base of "people" for a long time and suddenly, I was a stranger to them. I would look to them for guidance and find none. I would look to them to tell me things were possible, and I'd just be met with doubt.

I don't want you, or anyone, to have to go through that. Because it feels like shit and it's bullshit.

That's why this community exists. The same as why GTFO exists. Because we need people. Ones that don't judge us or make us feel "less." Ones that like that we swear and are real. Ones that don't want to be constantly exhausted from holding up an image.

We need people. That's it.

Day 1. is opening soon! Click this link to be the first to know! I'll put your name on the list.​

Have a great week ahead. Email me if you have questions. Seriously.

Stay beautiful
