I came across this I think rather randomly tonight but what a synchronisitic thing because I am feeling this right now, too. I just entered the working from home world, and its been quite the adjustment. I have been writing out this same type of vulnerable stuff on my blog as well, and I even wrote the phrase , "thats where the magic happens," i believe! With a picture of Oprah, no less, lol.

I have been mulling around this idea of "It Takes a Village" as a theme for a group or community or curation. But reading your post got me thinking ... what do I need right now, if i listen to my inner voice? What kind of support do I want? And what I would really like is to find people, especially other women who have been down this path before, that I am just embarking on, that I can swap feedback with. What I seek is akin to a community of practice, or like a seminar, which is what we call it in my field. A group of people who check in and support each other through the questions and issues they run into as they do their work. something beyond upvotes and curation...something a little more focused than socializing, but less formal than a class or support group. It would help to process the things that get us stuck, and those vulnerable questons we have.

I think video conferencing could be a way to create this because I think seeing peoples faces helps so much. That might be beyond some people's comfort zone but I am throwing this out there on your post to see what you think.

There are some great Discord communities to join, and I have made a lot of friendships there. The voice channels can help, but they often are more like radio shows than conversations. Those are fun, but not quite what I am imagining right now. So what I am suggesting is just an idea.. not sure if others would like it....

I am a trained group facilitator and so this makes me brainstorm all kinds of possibilities. Like what if you could be a part of a smallish group that met every week, whether that was in DIscord or over Skype ...and it was semi-confidential, even? This is a longgggg comment so I will stop writing now! :) Thanks for your post, it really evoked a lot in me actually. Curious what you think of this!
