Finding Your People for Big Dreams and Bold Moves | Madelyn, Jessica & Jamie | Miracle Sisters

Once I committed to growing Powerful Ladies full-time, I knew I couldn’t do it alone. The universe clearly agreed, because at a Friendsgiving, two friends, Madelyn and Jessica, invited me to join their book club reading A Course in Miracles. It was exactly the structure and accountability I needed. Soon, our friend Jamie joined, and the four of us began meeting regularly. In this conversation, Madelyn, Jessica, and Jamie share how that book club became more than a reading group — it turned into a lifeline of support, inspiration, and honesty. We talk about what it means to surround yourself with people who are just as committed to big dreams as you are, how different backgrounds can lead to shared values, and why community is essential when you’re chasing your version of an amazing life.
