Why I Started the Aligned & Thriving Peer Support Network

I’ve been quietly working behind the scenes on something meaningful.

For a long time, I’ve felt the need for a community I wish had existed when I first became a wellness practitioner over a decade ago — a space that went beyond foundational business strategy and touched something deeper. A space for connection, peer mentorship, leadership, personal growth, and sustainable success. A space that intentionally incorporates wellness into the process of building a business.

When I couldn’t quite find what I was looking for, I had a realization: maybe I’m meant to create it.

So here I am.

Introducing the Aligned & Thriving Peer Support Network — a peer-support community for doulas, perinatal professionals, health and wellness practitioners, and female entrepreneurs who are ready to grow their businesses while staying rooted in personal wellness and lifestyle alignment.

This community is about reaching meaningful milestones without sacrificing yourself in the process. It’s about remembering that success is not just revenue or recognition — it’s how your life feels while you’re building it. It’s about the bigger picture.

The Aligned & Thriving Peer Support Network is designed to pave the way for founders to become rooted, aligned, intuitive, thriving, and prosperous — in both business and life — and to do so alongside other like-minded entrepreneurs. We shouldn’t have to choose between success in our businesses or success in our personal lives. We are capable of holding both.

We are not meant to work in isolation. Yet so many of us do.

Inside this community, there is no competition — only connection, collaboration, and shared growth. It’s a space where we support each other to grow in ways that feel purpose-driven and meaningful.

The community is led by us — a collective of peers, both new and seasoned entrepreneurs. This isn’t a top-down model where one person stands on a pedestal to “lead the way.” That includes me. I am walking alongside you. We are individuals with varying backgrounds and experiences, but within this space, we are equals — supporting one another professionally and personally as we build sustainable businesses together.

There is no judgment here. No gatekeeping. No holding back “trade secrets.” Instead, there is authentic sharing so we can all thrive.

Perhaps this is my yogic mindset speaking, but I envision this as a retreat-like space for founders craving something a little different — a space to be both strategic and self-aware, ambitious and well.

I encourage members to share their gifts within the community. Each of you brings something valuable — your education, your lived experience, your skills, your perspective. Together, we create something richer than any one of us could build alone. And as the community grows, so will the offerings available within it.

I created this network because I wanted something meaningful. Something impactful. Something rooted in both business and well-being.

Welcome to the Aligned & Thriving Peer Support Network.

I hope this vision resonates with you as deeply as it does with me.

Let’s grow, glow, and flow—together—

Here to help,
Jessica Palmquist🩵🤍
