Why Your Community Is the Secret to Crushing Your Goals This Year

Alright, friend. I want to get real with you. Success? It’s not a solo sport.

You might think you can white-knuckle your way to your biggest dreams, goals, and desires. I’ve been there. I used to believe that if I just worked harder, pushed longer, or carried the load myself, I’d get there faster. But here’s the truth: when you go that route, it’s exhausting. And honestly? It’s not how you win long-term.

The real secret to achieving everything you want? Your community.

I know, I know—it sounds simple. But hear me out. The people you surround yourself with are your ultimate cheat code. They are the secret weapon standing between you and the breakthrough you’ve been chasing.

The Research That Proves It

Let’s talk numbers because I know you like facts as much as I do. Did you know that:

• You’re 65% more likely to achieve your goals just by sharing them with someone else?
• Add an accountability partner into the mix, and that number jumps to 95%.

This isn’t just feel-good fluff—this is science-backed data about the power of connection.

When you’ve got a community holding you accountable, cheering you on, and pulling you through those tough days, you’re unstoppable. Alone, it’s easy to let yourself off the hook. But when someone’s counting on you? You show up. Every time.

How Community Changed My Life

When I Quit Drinking: For years, I told myself I’d give up drinking “tomorrow.” But every day felt impossible. The stress, the kids, the endless to-do list—it always ended with “just one glass of wine.” Then I found a community.

One person in particular, Darcy, became my accountability partner. On the days I wanted to give up, Darcy was there reminding me I wasn’t alone. Her commitment inspired mine, and together, we tackled each challenge one day at a time.

I couldn’t have done it without her.

In My Executive Career: When I was climbing the corporate ladder, I felt like I was navigating blind. I made mistakes I didn’t have to because I didn’t have mentors or peers who’d been there before me.

Looking back, I realize how much time and heartache I could’ve saved if I’d had the kind of community I do now—people to guide me, challenge me, and share their insights. That’s why I’m so passionate about creating spaces like HER Collective—so no one else has to go it alone.

3 Key Benefits of Community

1. Accountability: We’re better at showing up for others than we are for ourselves. When you have people counting on you, you’ll find yourself sticking to your commitments—even on those tough days.
2. Perspective: The right people help you see what you can’t. They’ll point out your blind spots, offer new insights, and sometimes give you the hard truths you need to grow.
3. Momentum: Energy is contagious. Surround yourself with motivated, action-oriented people, and you’ll be inspired to dream bigger and take bolder steps.

Why I Created HER Collective

Here’s the thing: I couldn’t find the community I needed early in my journey, so I decided to build it. HER Collective is a space for ambitious women to come together, support each other, and grow together.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, climbing the corporate ladder, or setting big personal goals, HER Collective is for you. It’s not just about networking—it’s about creating real connections, mentorship, and sponsorship.

How to Find (or Build) Your Community

1. Start Small: Look for groups tied to your interests or career. Whether it’s a local meetup, an online forum, or a mastermind, start where you are.
2. Seek Professional Networks: If you’re in HR, join SHRM. If you’re an entrepreneur, find industry groups. The connections you make will accelerate your growth.
3. Build Your Own: If you can’t find the community you need, create it. I built HER Collective to be the space I wish I’d had years ago.

This Year, Prioritize Your People

You’ve heard the saying: “You’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” So, who are you surrounding yourself with?
