The
last (and most meaningful) project I’ve been working on is actually happening
and I could not be more excited to host our first event. It will still be a bit
before our first event but I am really looking forward to hanging out with all
the lovely and ambitious ladies that live in my hometown.
The
whole idea of creating a space for women to hang out between work and going
home really started steven years ago when I moved back to Palm Springs after
college and living between Indiana and New York. I found myself living with my
parents and trying to figure out the next step. As an introvert there was no
space where I could just be quiet and read, find like-minded girls to chat with
or find the right environment to foster the healthy and ambitious mindset to
help me figure out my life. With a degree in History and Intercultural Studies,
my only options at the time were going into education or going back to school.
The latter ended up happening and this passion project went on hold for six
years.
It
wasn’t until two years ago when The Wing opened
up in Manhattan for me to reconsider this idea of mine. There have been so many
late nights going back and forth deciding whether or not I wanted to pursue Girls Who Stay In. It was only a few
days ago when a flattering offer showed up in my inbox that I decided, its now
or never. Ive spent the last six years really thinking how I to present this
club to the women in my hometown. With time, I found someone who shared all the
same crazy ideas I had and without her there’s no way I would have ever started
this. She was always on the other end of the phone answering questions or
presenting new ideas, even at one in the morning. She was in from moment one
and I am seriously so grateful to have her as my partner.
Hey
introverts – if you need a space to read, vent, share recipes, want to talk
about episodes of trashy but totally heart warming reality shows or need a
little motivation, follow us on social media and be checking our events page.
We’re so glad to meet you!
Always,
Sarah
