How Co-Working Changed My Business — and My Life

When I first embarked on my entrepreneurial journey, I quickly discovered the transformative power of co-working and meetups. These spaces didn’t just change the trajectory of my business; they completely reshaped my mindset, sparked my creativity, and deepened my connections.

Walking into a room filled with like-minded entrepreneurs, all chasing their dreams, made me realize something profound—we don’t have to do this alone. Co-working spaces and meetups aren’t just about having a desk or a cup of coffee; they are vibrant hubs of inspiration, motivation, and collaboration.

I’ve had the privilege of meeting incredible people from all walks of life—graphic designers, marketing experts, tech innovators, wellness coaches—each contributing something valuable to my journey. And the best part? It’s a two-way street. We share our skills, insights, and experiences, lifting each other up to help our businesses thrive together.

These connections have gone beyond the professional; they’ve become personal. One of my OG hOMies, Perla from Elevation Eating, and I met at an entrepreneurial meetup when we were both just starting out. Fast forward, and I had the honor of officiating her wedding! The relationships you build through co-working and meetups can truly be life-changing.

How to Find Meetups:

1. I host Circadian Connections a few times a year through Circadian Business, where I carve out time to teach a mini-course designed to make a real impact on your business.

2. Eventbrite is another great resource.

3. Instagram and Threads also have hidden gems (I just found a great one on Threads recently!).

And if you're looking for something even more immersive, at the end of my Lightspeed Ahead 8-week course in January, I’m hosting an optional 3-day co-working retreat. It’s a chance for us to deepen our connections and truly elevate each other’s businesses.

Community has been my lifeline in moments of uncertainty or when I’ve felt stuck. When we surround ourselves with passionate, driven people, we’re not just fueling our own success—we’re empowering everyone around us. The collaboration, creativity, and support I’ve experienced through these spaces have catalyzed my business growth.

Together, we’re not just building businesses; we’re building a thriving community.
