From Lonely to Connected

Hi! I’m Cassie. A people-loving introvert who believes women thrive when they’re deeply connected.

It wasn’t always this way though. After graduating college and moving across the country for a new job, I constantly wondered why making friends felt so much harder as an adult.

I hid behind my identity as an introvert, avoiding social settings as I tried to figure out the secret to building relationships that I assumed everyone knew but me.

Over time, God helped me see that there was no secret. We’re all in this trying to figure it out together, and that’s the beauty of community.

I discovered that the best way to make friends, be likable, and create connections always involves doing things for others. Not in front of them.

The tricky part is figuring out where to start. 

You see, someone has to be the first one to step outside of their comfort zone. 

And while it’s validating to know that most of us are trying to figure out adult friendship, it also means not many of us feel confident enough to make the first move on our own.

As I worked through this barrier, I started keeping a list on my phone of simple things I was already doing and could continue to do to treat others well and build community. Out of that, the 30 Day Community Building Challenge was born.

This challenge consists of 30 simple and easy ways to start stepping outside of your comfort zone and into new friendships. It includes things like:

• Giving a genuine and specific compliment
• Starting a conversation while waiting in line
• Sending a text to someone who's on your mind
• ...and more!

This is what The Community Co is all about. Helping women feel connected, confident, and fulfilled through simple, actionable strategies.

I highly encourage you to take on the challenge. It's totally free and gives you and me an opportunity to connect beyond the blog!

I truly believe that when we do these things consistently, friendship stops being something we chase and becomes something we live.

If this sounds like something that aligns with where you're at, you can grab the challenge below:
