Elevated Readers: Imperfect by Brene Brown

You’re invited to the first official gathering of Elevated Readers — a welcoming, intentional space for women who love meaningful conversations, personal growth, and community.

This virtual meetup is our foundation-setting circle before we begin reading The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown together. No reading is required for this session.

**We plan in person events in the upcoming future**

Our intention for this evening is simple:
✨ connection before content
✨ safety before depth
✨ presence over perfection

Whether you’re new to book clubs or craving something more aligned and grounded, you belong here.

### 🌸 What to Expect

This will be a guided, relaxed, and thoughtfully facilitated conversation — not a lecture and not group therapy.

You can expect:

• A warm welcome and overview of Elevated Readers
• Clear group agreements to ensure a safe and respectful space
• Light introductions and reflection (sharing is always optional)
• An overview of how we’ll move through the book together
• Time to ask questions and connect

No pressure. No oversharing. Just real women showing up as they are.
