Over the last five years of writing Morning Person, I've had countless conversations with women, all echoing the same theme...

 

You know what you want your life to feel like,

but something deeper isn't clicking.​​

​

  • ​You're successful by every external measure, but there's a quiet hum you can't shake: Is this actually the life I chose?

  • You keep waiting for a sense of accomplishment to hit... but at each new peak, you never arrive. 

  • You've read the books, gone to therapy, yet nothing seems to stick. It's almost as if you're trapped.

  • The conversations you're craving—the ones that go somewhere real—have become harder and harder to find.

​​​​

In 2022, I listened to a tiny part of myself I had been ignoring for years—and leapt. ​​

​

Over the next three years, I left my marriage, earned my Master's in Mental Health Counseling, published my debut novel, and completely restructured my life and the way I see myself and the world. I had no idea how hard it would be—or how beautiful my life would become on the other side.

I had to figure it out on my own, but you don't have to.

That's why I'm creating Bird Club. At a glance, here's what you can expect...

A year-long practice

Bird Club takes its inspiration from nature. In summer, we'll 'Grow' as the days grow longer. Every month in summer will explore a different topic, within that broader theme. 

SUMMER

We'll begin by looking at the singularity of your being, and how to get in touch with that wiser self, in the context of social media and our existing relationships.

grow

FALL

This is where things really expand. We'll explore habits and addictions, then move into unexpected modes of nourishment, pleasure, and joy as the days shorten.

Nurture

WINTER

All about turning inward, to reckon with the stories we tell ourselves and how to find stillness and inspiration in the essential 'fallow periods' of life.

integrate

SPRING

A natural period of change, we'll set intentions, explore the stories we tell ourselves, and develop practices for presence and creativity.

A typical month in the community

​

Every offering is, ultimately, an invitation. There is no need to show up any way other than what serves you, but here are some of the offerings you'll have access to.

Weekly Conversations

Every week, we meet as a community on Zoom for a guided conversation around that month's theme.

 

Our conversations will begin with a short guided meditation and presentation, followed by small group shares and integration.

Seasonal Slow Reads

Each season, you'll be invited to participate in a seasonal slow read with a smaller group of women in your area.​

​

This fosters genuine, lasting connections and as you connect more deeply with the material.

Online Chat

Live access to a community chat hosted on Circle, where you will have direct access to Leslie and other members, to share thoughts, wins, and offerings of your own.

Biannual In-Person Gatherings

As a member of Bird Club, you'll be invited to join our biannual in-person gatherings.

Monthly Curated Curriculums

Every month will be structured around a curated curriculum that fits within the broader seasonal theme.

​

Our upcoming July curriculum is all about discovering your 'singularity of being' and internal 'wise woman.'

Monthly Expert Workshops

To dive deeper into the material, we'll have monthly workshops taught by experts, followed by a live Q&A, with a full library of on-demand playbacks.

Daily Journal Prompts

Each day will begin with a prompt or poem to encourage reflection in the community chat, or quietly on your own.

10-Day Experiments

Each month will include invitations to 10-day experiments. This may include a daily creativity exercise, ritual, or other opportunity to challenge yourself with the support of the entire community.​

​

In July, we'll turn down the noise by limiting our phone and social media use, together.​

Culture + Values

Community and kindness are at the heart of Bird Club. This is a place for women and nonbinary people to feel safe and supported while growing at their own pace and cheering each other on.

honesty > polish

This is a place to say the true thing, not the thing that sounds good. The messy middle is welcome here.

Small By Design

We cap our groups intentionally. You'll know people's names, and they'll know yours, for lasting, genuine connection.

connection >  perfection

This is not a space to look good. It's a space to be real and to find the women who make it safe to show up exactly as you are.

growth without overhaul

We're not here to help you become a different person. We're here to help you become more yourself.

Genuinely appreciate the thoughtfulness you put into to each edition. Unique recommendations and reflections on relationships and life.
