For every accolade you see on the outside, there's a whole bunch of people and things that happened behind-the-scenes to make that happen.
Case and point:
This past Tuesday, Victoria Marshman & Dani S Kagan, Founders of Mave & Chez luxury ergonomic slippers (which, if you don't have a pair yet, GET. A. PAIR), invited me for lunch to help brainstorm the growth of my REUNION dance party with them.
They sponsored one of our REUNION Dance Parties this Summer and left feeling so inspired and alive while saying, "What's your big dream with this? We want to help you make it happen".
And so, this Tuesday, we did just that.
They offered a ton of amazing ideas.
Suggested a list of people I should connect with + offered to connect me with them,
Then paid for MY lunch.
I walked away thinking: "Huh?!?!!?"
How, and why did that happen? It felt too good to be true.
But, building and growing REUNION is showing me the true value of community and collaboration.
And, that, when you build something straight from the heart, and lead with integrity, people WANT to help.
In just 10 months, we've been able to celebrate a lot of wins with REUNION, including a huge feature on Narcity this week.
But, one thing I know for sure, is that none of this would be possible without all of the people and support that happens behind-the-scenes.
