067 | Sisterhood and Belonging
I went to a women’s retreat recently. This is huge, considering I avoid women’s retreats: them being specifically for women triggers several parts of me. But by going to this camp cultivation experience— masterfully created and facilitated by my friend and fellow coach, Allison Crow—in Dripping Springs, Texas, I learned so much about my avoidance and how I relate with women.
In this episode, I share what I learned from attending a women’s retreat. I describe the first few years I went to overnight camp and how fear of rejection fuels my avoidance of women’s retreats. I also explain how I was able to relate with the other women in the camp and highlight the importance of women helping other women.
“I don’t know when I’ll be at the next women’s retreat, but I do know this: I have not been rejected. I am worthy of belonging and I belong.”
