Laura and I are exploring something near and dear to both of our hearts today: community. We met in a community and have both built many over the years, but what makes a truly excellent, supportive community? How do we balance giving and receiving? And how do we find (or build) the communities that really hold and uplift us? We're talking about all that and more!

Are you connected with your own voice, or are you suppressing it? I've been exploring this topic with my clients lately, and across the board I'm finding every single woman has had her voice suppressed in some way - first by society, and then by herself.
