ABOUT
Flow Collective is a space where you can find community, hear others’ stories, BELONG, get SUPPORT, seek information, find inspiration, BREATHE.
How can we do this? We do it TOGETHER.
Here’s our story
We met in a coaching training cohort and discovered that despite our vastly different beginnings, our values and missions were very similar. We want to be well and do meaningful things. We also realized that being in the business of coaching others on their challenges, we had noticed there were some common underlying themes between us and our clients - actually A LOT of them. And we admitted to each other that we have also struggled through some of the same messy issues.
We asked each other.
“How many women are in exactly this situation?”
“How many women are helping everyone around them, but they are a mess themselves?”
Brandie: “Almost everyone I know.”
Sherilyn: “SAME.”
We decided to do something
VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.
We decided to open up and SHARE our messes with each other and this was a turnkey moment in our connection and mutual support - it was also the birth of Flow Collective!
We’d like to honour the courage it takes to admit that sometimes everything is a mess by sharing ours with you:
