Big news! Waaaaay back in 2008 @kellyraeroberts and I shared an art studio in Berkeley. We had only met a few weeks before at a gathering of women who had been blogging since the early days. There was a moment when a comment was made about me in the circle and it stung. I don’t actually remember the comment and of course it doesn’t matter anyway! What I do remember is that Kelly (who was seated next to me on the couch) reached over without saying a word and squeezed my hand.

In that one gesture, she communicated so much to me. “I see you. I’ve got you.”

And that’s when we became friends.

@kellyraeroberts and I have supported one another for all these years since - in creating online courses and workshops and just generally masterminding together in our creative businesses. We have launched dozens of offerings and led thousands of women through learning experiences online. We have always wanted to collaborate together, but nothing ever stuck - until now!
