Hey friend!

So, today’s a BIG day for me—and I couldn’t wait to share it with you. It’s launch day! 🎉

Yes, after months (technically years) of hard work, squeezing in work during nap times and after bed, (and let’s be honest, a few tears), the TogetHER community is officially live.

And guess what? I’m here to tell you how I really made this happen… with no plan.

Yep, you heard that right. I started this journey without a solid blueprint in mind. Sometimes, life (and business) doesn’t go according to plan.

But you know what? That’s okay. That’s life, especially for moms and women who are juggling it all.

If you’ve ever thought about starting your own business and wondered if you could do it while balancing motherhood, work, and the never-ending laundry pile—this post is for you.

Why I Created the TogetHER Community

So, let’s rewind a little bit. I created the TogetHER community for one simple reason: I saw a gap. There are SO many amazing women out there—moms, entrepreneurs, dreamers—who are hustling to build something meaningful. But here’s the thing: we don’t always have the resources, the time, or even the right support system to make it happen. I know I didn’t.

Starting a business, for me, wasn’t some grand, calculated move. It wasn’t a perfect strategy on paper. It was messy. It was unpredictable. And yes, it was scary as heck. But here’s the thing: it was worth it.

What I really wanted was a space where moms could come together—without judgment, without the pressure of having it all figured out. A space where we could all figure it out together while still keeping it real. And that’s where TogetHER was born.

The Real Journey of Starting a Business with No Plan: Messy, Unpredictable, and So Worth It

If you think starting a business has to be a straight line—think again. My journey has been full of twists, turns, bumps, and a lot of “um…what am I doing?” moments. But here’s the beauty of it all: I didn’t let those doubts stop me. I showed up, even on the days when I didn’t feel like I had a clue what I was doing. I kept moving forward. And guess what? Little by little, it all started to come together.

And while the “perfect plan” is a nice idea, sometimes you just have to dive in and figure it out along the way. That’s what I did. Sure, it’s been messy, but I’ve learned more than I ever could have by sitting back and waiting for everything to be “just right.”

I want other women to know that it’s okay if your journey doesn’t look “perfect.” Perfection is overrated. Just start. The rest will follow.

How I Built a Community for Women Building Businesses on Their Terms

Here’s what I’ve realized: being an entrepreneur is hard. But it’s even harder when you feel like you’re alone in the process. That’s why I wanted to create a community—a place where women can support each other, celebrate wins, share struggles, and grow together.

TogetHER isn’t just a space for business tips (though, don’t worry, we’ve got plenty of those). It’s a place for real conversations. We’re talking about the grind, the hustle, and the messy in-between moments. We’re talking about nap-time businesses, balancing motherhood and work, and how to stay sane while building your dream.

So, if you’ve been thinking about starting a business, or you’ve already begun your journey, but feel like you need a little support (and a whole lotta coffee), TogetHER is the place for you.

What to Expect Inside the TogetHER Community

Now, let’s talk about what you can expect once you’re inside the TogetHER community. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to build a business while managing life, you’re in for a treat. Expect:

  • Real talk: No fluff here! We’re diving into what it really takes to build a business, especially when you’re juggling it all. You’ll get practical advice, tips, and support to help you take your business to the next level—without burning out.
  • A supportive group: TogetHER is all about lifting each other up. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been running your business for a while, you’ll find a group of women who are all about cheering you on and offering advice from their own journeys.
  • Nap-time hustle vibes: We get it—time is limited, especially when you’re working around nap times or late nights. You’ll find actionable steps to help you grow your business while respecting your own life balance.
  • Celebrating the wins, big and small: We’re here to celebrate YOU. Whether you launch your website, land your first client, or simply make it through the week without crying into your coffee, we’re cheering you on!

So, What’s the Takeaway?

Starting a business with no plan isn’t about throwing caution to the wind. It’s about being real with yourself and saying, “I’m going to do this, even if I don’t have all the answers right now.” It’s about trusting that things will work out and building a support system that helps you through the tough days.

I created the TogetHER community because I believe in women building businesses their way—on their own terms. And if that means launching and starting a business with no plan, I’m here for it!

So, if you’re ready to take that leap and start your business (no matter how messy or imperfect), just know that you don’t have to do it alone. TogetHER, we got you. 💪

Let’s celebrate this launch together—because together, we can do anything!
