Why She Reads She Leads Exists

Not lonely like I had no one to call or have happy hour with, but lonely in a way that I was craving a different type of conversation. I wanted to talk with other entrepreneurial or business savvy women who understood what it actually felt like to be building something from scratch and making it up as you go. I was growing, I could feel it. But I was growing in a bubble.

I wanted conversations with women who were in it too. Women who had already walked the road I was on and could tell me what they wished someone had told them. Women who weren't going to dress it up or make it sound easier than it was. I wanted to hear the scary gory bits of being in business so I could learn as much as fast as possible. 

I looked for that community, but just couldn’t find it. So I built it.

I picked books, because books had always been my source of comfort, entertainment and admiration. They were how I introduced myself to new and difficult topics and came out knowing something I didn't know before. At the same time I noticed the conversations within my friend groups changing, and the actual friends in them too.  The conversations became more vulnerable, more honest and everyone seemed to be wanting to level up with their knowledge base, especially about personal finance.  

That's how She Reads She Leads started, realizing my personal need wasn't just me. There was a genuine gap and women were being underserved. 

I didn't fully anticipate that this was something other women were craving too. A feeling of growth and community. When you start having a conversation with someone, who on the surface seems to have it all figured out, then they open up and are vulnerable, we realize no one has it all figured out and we are here to learn from each other.  No one was meant to become a success all alone.

Women who grew up, like me, without anyone teaching them how money worked. Who spent years paying for that gap in ways they couldn't always understand. Who find us and realize for the first time that they're not behind, they're not broken, they just never had access to the conversation.

That's who this is for.

It's not another thing to add to your already too-long list, or to tick a book off your TBR. This is a community where women who are building something real can think out loud with other women who get it. Where the book is the starting point and the conversation is the thing that actually changes you.

I've had women come up to me after our Zoom calls, sometimes months later, and want to share how an idea was implemented or they changed something in their business and are now thriving. Not because I said something brilliant, but because someone else on that call said the thing they needed to hear, at the exact moment they needed to hear it.

You can't manufacture that. You can only build the conditions for it to happen.
