What a morning ☀️
We gathered outside in the sunshine for both Sara Cohen’s () early session and our ANNC meetup, which made everything feel even more relaxed and energizing.
Sara’s talk was both practical and inspiring. She helped us find clarity in the chaos of our minds, especially when it comes to juggling life and business as humans who are doing a lot.
From there, the conversation flowed as usual. We shared what’s been lighting us up lately, including spontaneous dance sessions (yes, we tried it on the spot), ways we help our nervous systems reset and relax, and a surprisingly passionate deep dive into batch cooking. Turns out many of us are very over the daily “what’s for dinner” question 😂
If a more relaxed, personal, and actually fun way of connecting sounds appealing, come join us next month. Sign up for my newsletter to get the details.
And if you want more of this kind of community in your life, you can become an ANNC member for as little as $5 a month. It’s a space for real connection and a place where you can share your passions, ideas, or even host something like Sara did today. (Link in bio✨)

March ANNC is coming! ☕✨ Thursday 3/19/26, 10–11:30am at Grand Central Petaluma
This month we are shaking things up a bit. Arrive early at 9:15am if you want a sneak peek at clarity in action with ANNC member Dr. Sara Cohen.
She will share “Enough. Stop Carrying It All” and do a live hot seat so you can see how she helps leaders stop juggling everything in their head and build systems that actually work. Bring a real challenge if you want and leave with fresh perspective.
Then stick around for coffee, laughs, and the usual anti-networking magic.
