Community Requires Action,
Common Goals, and Removing Toxicity
In this episode of Your Loving Kick in the Pants, I talked about how our “Reignite the Light” event showed the power of community. I shared lessons from running my Boss Minded Facebook group, where I’ve learned that real growth happens when people support, challenge, and hold each other accountable.

I explained that a strong community needs three key things: active members who give value, clear common goals that keep everyone aligned, and the courage to remove what isn’t working. Building a healthy community isn’t easy, but it’s worth it when it helps everyone grow together.

In this episode, I talk about the struggle of balancing “waking up” and “showing up.” Waking up is the thinking, reflecting, and planning part of life, while showing up is taking action and doing the work. I share that many of us feel stuck doing too much of one and not enough of the other, especially when life feels chaotic. I explain that this tension is normal and something we all face. The goal is not perfection, but alignment, making sure our thoughts, values, and actions work together.
