These women. ❤️
This isn't even our whole accountability group, but I love this photo because it captures a small piece of something that's become one of the greatest gifts in my life.
A little over two years ago, Dana (front and center with the red hair ❤️) scribbled a few names on a notepad during a Girls With Grit conference. Somehow my name ended up on that list.
I still don't know why.
These women are all incredible business owners in their own markets, but what we've built together has become so much bigger than business.
Every week we spend an hour together on Zoom. Sometimes we're talking strategy, solving problems, and celebrating wins. Other weeks someone is crying, someone is scared, someone is carrying something heavy, and the rest of us simply show up.
We've walked through business challenges, family struggles, disappointments, celebrations, and milestones together. They know things about my life that very few people here at home know.
I've never really considered myself a "girls' girl." As I've gotten older, my circle has become much smaller, and I've realized that's not a bad thing. The people closest to the center of your life are the ones who know the real you...the good, the messy, the victories, and the struggles.
These women are in that circle.
Real estate can be an incredibly rewarding career, but it can also be lonely, stressful, and emotionally exhausting. Having people who will celebrate you, challenge you, tell you the truth, pray for you, laugh with you, and love you anyway is something I never take for granted.
Looking back, I truly believe God knew exactly what He was doing when He brought us together.
I honestly can't imagine these last two years without them.
Love you, ladies. ❤️
