Welcome back to the Community Strategy Podcast! I'm thrilled you are here and excited to jump into this new episode! Since opening Community Builders with Purpose, I've been reminded that we can learn much from our peers. 
I've been looking for ways to support my clients and encourage them to move faster by focusing on a few or, better yet, one option at a time. I was looking for speakers to join the community when Windy Lawson shared her talk about "Thriving with TMI” (Too Many Ideas). Windy joins the Community Builders with Purpose in a pre-recorded presentation to community members. 
Since 2017, Windy has been on a journey to help female microbusiness owners in the start-up phase or those who've recently turned a part-time side hustle into a full-time gig. You are in the right place if you are tired of chasing shiny objects that the gurus told you are the holy grail of success.
"Where do you seem to get your best ideas?" Windy asks at the beginning of this session. She works with women who are creating a business independently. In that space, she said that getting ideas or deciding on an idea "gets a bad rap."
We say things like we are "chasing squirrels" or "shiny object syndrome," which is why the idea seems to get the brunt of the criticism—Windy points out that ideas are powerful and are what push us forward.

In this part, Theresa Anderson shared a quote from a blogger she follows: "You don't owe it to your mother, you don't owe it to your children, you don't owe it to civilization in general; prettiness is a rent you pay for occupying a space marked female." Erica McKeen. Melissa Schoettle highlighted women's challenges when being diagnosed with Neurodiversity in their 20s or 30s. We give one label and take other labels away, Serena said. "Being a woman online might mean that you'll get direct messages that are inapprop

Welcome back to The Community Strategy Podcast: Season Three! I'm thrilled you have joined us; I can't wait to meet you inside Community Builders with Purpose! 


This season, you'll hear recordings of our live events inside this new community. For the first episode of the season, I wanted to share a recording of a live event I hosted with women to celebrate International Women's Day! It is a global celebration observed annually on March 8 to recognize and honor the achievements and contributions of women throughout history.


We forge a better world by inspiring others to understand and value women's inclusion. When women are inspired to be included, they feel a sense of belonging, relevance, and empowerment. So, collectively, let's forge a more inclusive world for women.


Many individuals participate in events and initiatives to mark the day, including conferences, panel discussions, workshops, and awareness campaigns. International Women's Day is a time for celebration and an opportunity to reflect on the progress made and the work that still needs to be done to achieve gender equality worldwide.
