44. Real life stories from inspiring women: The powerhouses inside Goalden Girls Community

Sometimes I wonder: how is everyone ACTUALLY doing right now?

As I record this at the beginning of April 2021 it feels like no-one is talking about the fact that life is still freakin’ WEIRD. 

For most of the world, we still can’t travel or cross borders easily. 

Many of us are unable to see family and friends, especially those that are older or immune compromised. 

Masks are the new normal…and so is being more alone, isolated, and lonely.

Here in Canada, a lot of businesses have been shut down, the rules are constantly changing, even more distancing is a reality, and navigating childcare and school situations is still tough.

And overall, the rules, the science, the timelines and guidelines keep evolving and it’s hard to know what’s even real anymore.

So let’s be real:

We took a 2 week sprint to “flatten the curve” and it’s now a 13 month ultra-marathon and we still don’t even know how far or for how long we’re supposed to be running/biking/swimming: seemingly all at the same time while working from home, probably with kids asking for snacks.

And yet - it can feel like we’re the only ones who are feeling like…WHAT is going on?!

If you’re wondering how other women are making it work in these wild and crazy times, this episode is for you. 

If you’re wondering how others are REALLY doing…what’s helping, and what they’ve learned to navigate through life right now, you’re in for a treat.

Today, I’m honoured to be joined by 3 members of our Goalden Girls Community- Dunia, Meredith and Meagan - sharing their open and honest journeys from the last year. 

You’re going to hear from real life women - women that are entrepreneurs, mothers, dreamers, rebels and everything in between - because that’s what women are: a magical blend of SO much. 

It’s time to normalize the conversations - the conversations about struggle, the human experience, thriving, striving, success, expectations, and LOVING ourself.  

And this is what this episode is all about. 

In our community, we stand up for each other. We show up openly, honestly, and we make incredible things happen, despite the challenges. 

In this episode you’ll hear powerful stories from Dunia, Meredith and Meagan as they share: 

  • What was the biggest challenge they faced in the last year and how they overcame it? 

  • What mindset shift they’ve made recently that’s made their life easier, and more joyful

  • How has focusing on one goal helped them? And of course, what goal they focused on and what they achieved. Some of the answers will definitely surprise you. 

  • These brave women also share how having a community surrounding them has helped and how life is better because of community.

Buckle up my friend: be ready to get inspired, to feel connected and to know you’re not alone.  Get ready to hear about the MAGIC these women are creating, EVEN through the mess… and know that you TOO are magic <3
