Now that things have finally calmed down a little (mentally AND physically 😅), I’ve had some time to sit down and really reflect on last Friday’s Girls Night…
And wow. I have a lot of feelings. 🥹
Last Friday evening, we had over 170 women walk through the doors of Be Queen. 🤯
It’s honestly hard for me to even wrap my head around that number.
Almost five years ago, Be Queen. started inside my home. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing and was figuring things out as I went. I used to host Girls Nights at my house! I genuinely had no idea what I fully envisioned for the future of BQ., I just knew I loved what I was doing, and I wanted to keep doing it.
Fast forward to today, and I’m standing inside our beautiful storefront in downtown Gilbert, surrounded by an incredible team, watching hundreds of women show up to support something that started from absolutely nothing.
It’s surreal. Truly.
I’m also so incredibly proud of the women who make up our BQ. team. The amount of work, love, and energy that went into making this night happen was unreal. This business may have started with me, but it certainly isn’t just me anymore. And that’s one of the things I’m most grateful for.
I think one of the weirdest things about building a business is that you’re so busy working toward what’s next that you sometimes forget to look around and appreciate what’s right in front of you.
And that’s exactly what I’m trying to do right now.
Because five years ago, I would have DREAMED of a night like last Friday.
And now it’s our reality. 🥹
If there’s one thing this journey has taught me, it’s that you don’t have to have it all figured out to start. You just have to believe in what you’re building, be willing to work really freaking hard, and keep showing up. Even when things feel uncertain. Even when it’s uncomfortable. Even when nobody else can see what you see.
You truly never know what something small can turn into.
From Girls Nights in my living room to Girls Nights in our very own storefront in the heart of DOWNTOWN GILBERT.
I’ll never take this for granted.
Thank you for being part of this story. We’re still writing it. 🧡
