  • Lindsay is a busy-minded woman who loves to try new things, connect with other women, and share experiences with her community. She is a Capricorn, Enneagram 7, ENFJ, Insights Yellow, and top Strength is Activator.

  • Flannery is a bookseller, shop owner, businesswoman, mother, wife, friend, sister and recovering people pleaser. She spends most of her time dreaming up big ideas, reading with her pups and watching soccer and British crime shows with her family....all within view of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

  • Jessica is one oxymoron after the other. She spends her work days as a sales exec for a plant based company headquartered in Colorado. But when not talking about margin and ROIs (return on investments), she prefers to create moments of silliness, dancing around the living room with her two girls and husband of eight years. She’s probably the ring leader of any neighborhood party but also enjoys nights of solitude around a fire. She likes working out but probably likes Prosecco more. She reads books on philosophy but is also obsessed with reality shows like Southern Charm. At the end of the day, she’s just a girl from Nebraska trying figure out life.
