177/Getting in the Room: Why Live Events and Real Connection Shape Your Next Best Move
Fri Feb 06 2026
In a world that’s increasingly digital, I keep coming back to this idea: there is still something incredibly powerful about getting in the room.
In this episode of Your Next Best Move, I’m sharing why showing up to events, conversations, and in-person gatherings has been one of the biggest catalysts for my personal growth, especially in motherhood. Some of the most meaningful shifts in my life didn’t come from reading another book or listening to another podcast. They came from choosing to be physically present with people, stories, and ideas that stretched me.
When we place ourselves in rooms with new perspectives and real conversations, we start to see what’s possible for us beyond our everyday routines.
This episode is also inspired by the upcoming Mothertelling Main Stage Experience, happening May 2nd in Wilmot, Ontario, where mothers gather to share stories, build meaningful connections, and celebrate the launch of the Mothertelling book.
If you’ve been craving inspiration, community, or a reminder of who you are becoming, this episode is an invitation to stop circling the room—and step inside.
