Summary
Katherine created a mom's group in her small town, where everyone's welcome, they provide fabulous childcare, and it's all about building relationships, not a program. In this chat, she shares the nuts and bolts of how to start something similar wherever you live. And Tsh shares what she's learned from gathering people for events — for things like week-long adventures in London, and in weekend retreats in her small town, like she's doing for the first time ever the weekend this episode drops. In all this, there's a thread: IRL relationships > pixels.
