When I thought about my first meetup event in Atlanta I had plenty of...anxiety. Throwing events is not my specialty, so I can easily fall into a spiral worrying about all the ways to make it "perfect." Fortunately, I had a friend, Tari, who called me on my spiral and reminded me to remember my intentions. I opened up to the idea, what my intention was for how I wanted women who attended to feel, experience and smile as they thought back on the evening. Doing so helped it all come together perfectly.

Now, I'm so excited about the first Support is Sexy Meetup that will be hosted on Sunday, Sept. 22nd 6pm-8pm at Nothing Bundt Cakes at 4280 LaVista Road, Tucker, Georgia -- which is owned by Charlie Shabazz, who was episode 335 of the Support is Sexy podcast, and for all the right reasons it's going to be a sweet time!

I hope to see you there! But if you're not in town, don't worry! JUST SIGN UP HERE TO LEARN ABOUT SUPPORT IS SEXY MEETUPS COMING TO YOUR CITY SOON! JUST GO TO supportissexymeetup.com!
