A Letter From Our Founder

 

Hello Jugglrs!

 

Today in 1987, Congress passed a resolution declaring March Women's History Month. While women have come so far in the past four decades+, we are still faced with a ton of social and emotional conditioning plaguing us to believe we need to do it "all" with smiles on our faces, no complaining and no cracks in the facade.

 

What theJuggl has taught me over the past two years of trying to figure out what our actual business model is to support women in an effort to put ourselves first in order to serve ourselves and others more fully, is that none of us can do it alone. I have had the tremendous good fortune of meeting dozens of experts and humans who genuinely want to improve the lives of their fellow man. It has been humbling and the number one driver of me not giving up the dream of making theJuggl work. I was SO clear a few months ago on what I want to build and then I've had several discouraging meetings with very successful people that have caused me to severely doubt myself and wallow in my perfectionism, paralyzed to move forward for fear of doing it wrong again...

 

So this month, my promise to myself, first and foremost, and to all of you, is that I'm going to honor all of the women who paved the way before us and look to how we can do that for the next generations to come and keep moving forward. ANY feedback - good, bad or otherwise - is tremendously appreciated! Otherwise, I'll share more soon!

 

In the meantime, I hope any/all of you will help support one of theJuggl's amazing Advisors, Kate Doerge, in supporting her new foundation, Penny's Flight, in honor of her late daughter's fight against NF. Shop in store at any Veronica Beard location across the country tomorrowMarch 2nd, and 10% of your proceeds will go towards Penny's Flight. I'm co-hosting the event in the Chicago store tomorrow from 11am to 1pm so come by and say hello and shop for a great cause! More details below.

 

Cheers!

Melissa Skoog

The Culture of Sharing

 

There is so much power in sharing.  Whether sharing a meal, a favorite vacation destination, a business opportunity or simply yourself.  Every ounce of sharing builds a stronger connection and a broader base of knowledge to take with you everyday. 

 

Here at theJuggl we believe that we all can grown and learn from each other.  As we walk through life, we each have individual experiences that define our story.  Along that journey we encounter resources that support the highs and lows.

 

Who or what are the resources you have found helpful along your path of life?  We want to know!!

 

Email us HERE and share with us your best kept secrets..

 

 

Christina's Story

The Universe is Talking - Listen

 

 

Losing my Instagram. An invitation to listen to the universe and lean in.

 

Waking up and seeing that my Instagram account was hacked, disabled, taken away whatever you want to say. Not a great feeling. Poof and gone. Five years of creating, giving my heart and soul into building a community, a business. And just like that. Disappeared. 

 

At that very moment I decided the universe was speaking to me. And I was going to listen. I knew my "house had to burn down" to create something new. And it was up to me to accept this as an invitation. An invitation to rebuild myself and receive help.

 

And so I did.


First step was leaning into the community of women that I surround myself in to be held and supported. Many of these women I met through this platform, the Juggl. Tapping into resources of inspiration from podcasts to masterminds to meditation suggestions that would allow me to get clear. Pause and ask myself the tough questions. What do I really want to build in myself right now? How can I elevate the brand that I have? What do I love to do more of and what can I release that doesn’t feed my energy? The questions were (and are) endless. The answers were (and are) endless. 

 

I will always assume the universe won’t miss what’s meant for me. And if I was a betting woman I would always bet on myself and this collection of exceptional women I surround myself with daily. 

 

The learning here so far: Listen and lean in. 

 

Thank you for being here and a part of my journey. Together, movement is hope and we keep going.

Penny's Flight

 

We invite all Jugglr's to join us for a very special event hosted by our Founder, Melissa Skoog and theJuggl's Soul Work Expert, Robyn Miller Becker.  

 

A dear friend and significant contributor to theJuggl, Kate Doerge, lost her 16year old daughter, Penny, in November 2022 to a genetic disorder called Neurofibromatosis, After Penny's death, Kate and her husband, created the Penny’s Flight Foundation with the goal to advance medical research in NF1 and its related disorders, and to inspire others to live with positivity and humor and find the beauty and joy in all situations.

 

Penny was a model of resilience, positivity and courage. Diagnosed with neurofibromatosis (NF1) as an infant, Penny never let this define her or hold her back. She lived her life "Walking on Sunshine", in the words of her favorite song. Penny made an impact everywhere she went by shining her bright light. She was an inspiration and a teacher to people of all ages.  

 

Help us spread the joy of Penny by shopping at any Veronica Beard store nationwide on March 2, 2023.  10% of all proceeds from the entire day's sales will go towards Penny's Flight.  

 

If you are local stop by the Chicago location at 11 East Walton to meet Melissa and Robyn.  They would love to say hi.
