My good friend and guest Emily Aborn joins us today to talk about the power of both building communities and finding communities that build you up!
Emiline (as I call her) is a Freelance Content Writer, the Founder of She Built This, a community for women entrepreneurs and professionals and the host of the She Built This Podcast!
In this fun conversation, we dive into her earliest experiences of community, and how her childhood days of homeschooling and exposure to entrepreneurship shaped who she is now and why she’s so passionate about building spaces, places and events where people can gather together and connect. She’s what I would call a “kick-ass community builder!”
Today on the Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about the concept of building people up rather than tearing them down, creating spaces where people can feel seen and heard and know they truly matter and why community is so important.
Whether you are currently part of a community or are looking to join one, this episode is the fantastic invitation to making the deeper connections we all need.
