What a dream. Thanks for sharing what an elevated group of women together feels like. Love that there was not an iota of what anyone looks like. ❤️

A dream team of advisors! Thank you for sharing this with the rest of us, Amy. Copied and pasted into my iPhone notes for a re-read later.

This is amazing. Social media is a very effective vehicle for finding people who make you recover your faith in humanity (and lose it too 😅, of course). It all depends on how you approach it.

So true. People are shocked when I tell them that with all my followers and DMs I can count on both hands the number of truly awful DMs rcd. And 50pct of those awful DMs got turned around just by responding and discourse ; the other 1/2 didn’t warrant my attention.

Love the idea of creating an intimate space for connection and sharing beyond a super short term, what’s in it for me mindset. Just the pleasure of likeminded ppl exploring together without an agenda. If I were to go looking for that, where would I look? Strikes me that many conferences or structured gatherings are often selling something or playing off a shared industry or profession

That’s the thing- it’s wild who knew that through clothing discussions that became discussions about who we are that like minded people would find themselves. Didn’t see this coming to be honest here but it’s one of the best things that’s happened in my 27 years since starting Tibi.
