Introducing TWC: The WANT Community!
Introducing TWC: The WANT Community!
Consider this your personal invitation to The WANT Community (2.0), our new members-only clubhouse
Alright friends…I have been teasing this for some time now…but I am thrilled to announce:
The WANT Community is BACK!
The WANT Community, or TWC, is almost 20 years in the making. (I know I said it’s “back,” but we’ll get there in a sec.)
Some backstory: when I first thought of WANT back in 2007, I knew that the work of making shift happen couldn't just start and stop with me. Even though I'm the founder of WANT, it doesn't belong to me — it belongs to US.
BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT…
…you deserve to be the You you know you’re meant to be - and you deserve to be surrounded by the kind of support and encouragement that makes you believe it’s possible to thrive being that person.
…the journey to self-confidence should be accessible and inclusive, and should be a journey that makes you feel embraced, not alone.
…in order to keep moving forward fearlessly on that journey, we've got to go all in, together.
So, what does that “back” part mean?
Well: I originally launched TWC 1.0 during 2020, at the height of the pandemic, and it was the coziest, most special place to hang during those (often very lonely and isolated) days. I made the choice to press pause and reflect during the WANT YOUR SELF book launch period, listening to where the book was taking you and what it was you actually needed in an online community.
Turns out: you wanted a members-only place to dive in and dig deep, but you also wanted it to help enhance your everyday moments without the bulk of daily notifications or yet another app to navigate.
And on my end: I wanted to provide a space for people who might not be ready for or interested in 1-1 coaching yet, but who still wanted a weekly check-in and place to explore at their own pace.
And so, here we are: a streamlined, easier-to-navigate The WANT Community, 2.0!
If you are already a paid WANT subscriber — congrats, you’re in!
If you’re a free subscriber and would like to become a part of TWC — just hit the button below to join for either $5/month (less than a latte) or $50/year (still less than a latte!)
WHAT TO EXPECT
TWC is here to empower, encourage, and support you through all the things. The easy, the hard, the highs, the lows, and everything in between.
As a TWC member, you’ll receive the normal free WANT posts monthly, PLUS:
⚡️WANT YOUR SELF WEEKLY⚡️
WHEN: weekly on mondays
Sometimes you need a jump-start. Sometimes, you need a deep-dive. Sometimes you need a loving push. Sometimes you need answers. Sometimes you need advice. Sometimes you just need a pep talk. At the top of every week, you’ll receive a community CHALLENGE, PROMPT, QUESTION, or PEP TALK. In the comments section, you'll be able to add your answer, reflect on prompts, ask questions, and get advice/pep-talks from other members (and me, Katie).
🎉WANT WINS🎉
WHEN: monthly at the end of every month
Celebrating ourselves is essential to shifting our self-talk for the long haul. These monthly posts are the place to brag about your wins — big, small, and everything in-between! Make sure to throw some confetti and high-fives to your fellow members to join in on the celebration!
💥COMMUNITY EVENTS, CHATS, FEATURES + MORE 💥
WHEN: special occasions
This is the first stage of TWC, so as of right now, my focus is on adding value to your weeks and cultivate a space where you feel a sense of belonging, NOT overloading you with too much too soon. Quality, not quantity, is my M.O. That being said…as we grow and take shape, my plan is for what we do in TWC to reflect that. A group PFO (Planned Freak-Out)? A special guest feature? A community discussion thread? I have some fun ideas and plans in the works.
WHEN WE KICK OFF
Our first *official* conversation will kick off on Monday, May 6th. When you subscribe now, you’ll be guaranteed to not miss a thing. AND you’ll get the welcome email with next steps right away so you can introduce yourself, answer our first prompt, and get started.
I’m pretty excited about what we’re creating in The WANT Community. And on a more personal note: I am always here for you. I am just as much a part of this community as you are and an active member myself! I'm excited to get to know you, for you to get to know the other rad humans here, and to make shift happen together.
If you ever have any questions, suggestions, or feedback, I’m here at katie@womenagainstnegativetalk.com
Move forward fearlessly, spread the good word, and be the you you know you're meant to be—
