Why I Work With Women

People ask me all the time who I work with.

My answer is usually simple, “I work with women.”
But the truer answer is actually this: "I work for women."

I advocate for women. And I do that because I have seen, up close, what happens when women do not have spaces where they feel safe enough to tell the truth and to be witnessed without being fixed or judged.

I have watched something open inside women when they're finally met with acceptance instead of expectation. When they are allowed to exhale and when they’re seen not for what they produce or how they look, but for who they actually are.

In those spaces, women soften and become kinder with themselves. They organically become more available to their lives and their families. And without force, become more connected to their inner knowing and what they truly want.

I’ve been sitting in women’s circles for over 20 years and have been honored to lead them for the last 5.

AND I’ve also been behind closed doors in very very “different” rooms.

→ Conference rooms where women were talked about as something to manage.
→ Strategic meetings where campaigns were formulated to keep women small, quiet, thin, and palatable.
→ Creative reviews where shame around women’s bodies was used intentionally as a tool.

I’ve heard key decision makers at the top say things like,
“We need women to feel bad about themselves.”
“We need them to feel the shame in their bodies.”
Seriously, WTF!

Needless to say, those moments changed me at my core and lit the fire of advocating for women.

This is why this work matters and why creating spaces of safety, truth, and belonging is not indulgent, it's extremely necessary.

Because when women feel safe.
When they feel accepted exactly as they are.
When they are encouraged to name their desires and speak what’s true for them,

Everything changes!

And I’ve witnessed it in hundreds of women.

When I say everything changes, I mean it.
How they show up in their relationships.
How they lead.
How they mother.
How they create.
How they trust themselves.
It all changes!

This is the deep WHY rooted at the heart of The Drop In Community.

The Drop In is a heart-led space where women gather at the beginning of the week to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and set an intentional tone before the world starts asking things of them. It’s flexible, welcoming, and designed to meet women right where they are.

The community is made up of executives, creatives, entrepreneurs, therapists, coaches, and leaders of all kinds. Women doing meaningful work in the world, and choosing to begin their weeks from a more grounded, trusting place.

If you’ve been craving a space where you don’t have to perform, prove, or stay small, we'll save a seat for you in The Drop In Community.

With and gratitude,
Jennifer
