Midlife Women: Community or Competition?
Show Notes

YOU are One in 400 Trillion!
We are so unique that competition does not exist.
    -Cam

Join Cam and Amelia
in an honest look at how we see other women. Most of us have a 'default' position. Some of us are aware of why we see other women the way we do. Maybe you have always felt loved and appreciated by other women, or maybe you work in a very competitive field where everyone must compete for time, space and success.

We unpack many of the reasons for defaulting to a competitive viewpoint.
-Is it our own insecurities?
-What triggers us?
-When we are criticized, what do we need to examine in ourselves?
-Is our defensive stance due to a previous embarrassment or sense of shame?
-What do we do to pull down that wall of defensiveness?

Then we explore:
-How do you build a community?
-Who are you vulnerable with?
-How can you be in a community with women who do not share common belief systems or common goals?
-How does the way you form a community incorporate your boundaries?

Relationships all start with yourself. We encourage you to be intentional and selective, but most of all, vulnerable. Once you've defined your boundaries, you can invite people into your inner circle, your community, or simply commune with them as part of the larger community. It's all OK. You are worth it!
