Where Lous belong
The Lou Lounge is an intimate, cohort-based program that helps online business owners build meaningful relationships in their work.
Each Lou Lounge cohort is five months long, focusing on both business and personal stuff as we build friendships that will last far beyond this container.
The program includes:
-2 online, facilitated monthly groups (we meet on the first two Wednesdays of each month, generally around 12pm Eastern)
-A dual focus on
Understanding and supporting each other’s work
Building friendships with like-valued, experienced business owners who get it.
-Voxer connection with the group throughout
-Calm, warm guidance from Janna, our facilitator
-Space to support the real needs of the Lous - whether that’s working through challenging client relations, shifting offers, collaboration and co-promotion to support growth, or just space to be real about your struggles.
It’s difficult to make real friends in group spaces.
There’s a magic in our format that makes this easy.
Groups are facilitated with thoughtful questions.
Questions are usually business-related, but often with a personal undertone.
The nature of our discussion allows us to get to know each other on a deeper level.
We share, we laugh, we’ll probably also cry.
It’s a safe space and that’s the part we take very seriously.
You have room to share fully, without pressure to take up more airtime than feels comfortable to you.
The flow of our conversation is easy. We don’t rush through the pause, but our facilitator keeps things gently moving.
The burden of moving the conversation is NEVER on you.
This intentional approach allows you to relax, show up fully as yourself, and feel seen.
As a result, meaningful connections happen naturally.
FAQs
What’s the time commitment?
1
We meet twice per month, on Wednesdays, generally around 12pm Eastern, for around an hour. Most of our groups meet on the first two Wednesdays of the month.
We also stay in touch via Voxer, and you’ll probably want to have 1:1 conversations with the other Lous in your cohort. These might be coffee chats, walk-and-talks, or even meeting in person if it’s possible to do so.
Plan to spend somewhere between 3 and 4 hours each month investing in your Lou friendships.
Is The Lou Lounge gender-specific?
2
Nope, The Lou Lounge is not gender specific. It’s for experienced online business owners who want to prioritize building their inner circle of support and friendship. You can expect openness, emotional support, and connection that goes deeper than the surface.
What if I feel like I don’t fit with the other Lous in my cohort?
3
Janna, the facilitator of The Lou Lounge, takes care in matching cohorts. If this is your first time in a Co-Promotion Club space, she’ll ask to meet with you and get to know you a bit before matching you with a cohort.
Then, if you feel strongly that your cohort is not the right place for you after your first two groups, you’re able to bow out. The first month’s cost is non-refundable, but the remainder is eligible for a refund.
