 All right let’s face it, whether you realize it or not, you’re a bit of a self-help junkie. You’ve read every self-development book. You’ve gone to every event and watched every webinar. And what happened? Or rather — what didn’t happen? You’re still here living your life; nothing’s really changed all that much. Except now you might have an abundance of notebooks filled with life-changing advice and strategies that are just sitting on your shelf collecting dust. There’s no shame in that, I have my share of filled notebooks, too. But doesn’t it make you think, “What gives? I have all of the knowledge I could possibly need, so why am I still at square one?” Why does it seem so hard to implement all the fabulous knowledge you’ve gathered? Why is it so difficult to put it into action? How can you possibly become the person that carries the qualities you’ve been wishing you had? The Missing LinkTurns out, there’s a missing link between gathering this life-changing information and actually absorbing it and implementing it in your everyday life. There’s one thing I’ve found above all else that is the pivotal difference when it comes to either keeping this knowledge tucked away in my notebook or embodying it in my life. It’s something that has allowed me to not only become a better person, but a better business owner, partner, friend, and parent. You wanna know what it is? Finding your tribe! You need to find and maintain relationships with like-minded people. People who share your core values, your intrinsic beliefs, and have their own versions of their wildest dreams. These are the people who authentically “get you”-- the real-life, un-Instagram polished YOU. When you surround yourself with people who genuinely support you, fantastic things start to happen in your life! Exponential BenefitsHave you ever had a conversation with someone about something you’re both equally super passionate about? Both of your faces light up, you find yourself smiling, laughing, and maybe even talking (or typing) faster. Man, I love that! When you’re with your tribe, you feel heard. These are people who understand your challenges and struggles, and who listen (hopefully) without judgement. These are people who share new ideas and resources with you to help support your goals. When you find the right tribe, you’ll find people who truly support you and what you’re trying to do with your life. You’ll find people who hold you accountable to actually DO what you say you want to do... Um, like maybe to finally read and implement some of the great strategies you wrote in your notebooks! Ultimately, the right tribe will help you move forward in a positive, uplifting, encouraging way. Your perfect tribe works best when you participate by both giving and taking advice, ideas, etc. Remember that your family and friends are not the only people in the world. Whether or not they support you, they probably don’t have the same shared interests as you. And that’s okay. You can choose to surround yourself with other people who geek-out over the same topics as you. People who understand and appreciate the simplest nuances of one of your greatest passions. That’s what I’m here to tell you today: you can have it all. Don't Go It AloneIt’s no secret that most women in today’s world often feel disconnected from people around them. Consciously or not, we think that we have to carry the weight of the world on our shoulders. Alone. All by ourselves. Like there’s some badge of honor for being busy, overworked and “independent.” I’m here to shatter that false belief and tell you that it’s simply not true. In fact, you were never meant to carry the entire world on just your shoulders. Human beings are actually hardwired for connection and social relationships-- we were designed that way! But with our new age of technology (and a current pandemic) it has become pretty challenging to do. I get it. But, this story has a happy ending. There is a silver lining here, and it’s way easier to find your tribe than you might think.  Make Meaningful ConnectionsHow can you possibly find and maintain connections with like-minded people while living your busy life? With children, a family, a business, and regular human obligations, it might seem like an impossible task to prioritize this level of meaningful connection. For the introverts out there (like me), finding a place to submerge yourself in can feel intimidating, and just downright scary. But it doesn’t have to be. One of the pros of everything going online is, everyone is online! Meaning there’s an endless amount of platforms and places to go searching for your fellow soul tribe. You can join communities where others are having a conversation you want to be a part of. This can look like:
These are all wonderful ways of connecting with other like-minded people, but there are still some important missing pieces. You are looking for critical connections. You are looking for MORE...
Where is My Tribe???So by now, you may be asking where the heck you can possibly find your own community of like-minded women who are ready to help lift you up and achieve your wildest dreams. They do exist, and you may find you resonate with them, too. YOU may be a Balanced Life Warrior! The Balanced Life Warrior Group is a virtual membership that is all of those juicy, heart-fulfilling feelings of community and tribe, PLUS:
Whether you’re a freelancer just beginning her entrepreneurial journey, or you’re a stay-at-home mom looking to connect during snack time, there is something of value for everyone. So, are you ready? Can you feel your heart burning with desire to be in a (virtual) room of people who just get you on a deep, soul level? I think you’re ready. There’s no time like right now to begin to prioritize your overall well-being with the support of a tribe. Your tribe. You belong here! Check it out today.
