Empowered Woman Testimonials

"As a child, I absolutely loved reading and spent much of my free time doing this. As an adult, I struggled to find books that had that same magic and lost the habit and joy of reading. Cue the Empowered Women book club! ✨ Book club got me back to my love of reading through the intriguing books selected and the thought-provoking discussion around them.

The book club has injected such joy into my life, through a vibrant collective of strong, kind, supportive and empowered women! I have taken such inspiration from our empowered guest speakers and all the awe-inspiring ladies I now consider good friends. A heartfelt thank you Empowered Women! 💓."

"Book club has been such an amazing experience for me. I remember being so nervous popping up on the screen the first night and seeing everyone greet me but these strangers have all become an important valuable part of my life and I feel very grateful to have them in my life now. In less than a year it’s so great to have gone from online strangers to friends meeting in real life for various events. These ladies are the most supportive wonderful people and I learn such valuable life lessons from them every time I am in their company. So basically I’m glad I put myself out of my comfort zone and joined that zoom call all those months ago!"

"I remember how nervous I was the first day of Bookclub. How I fixed my hair probably a hundred times and sat wondering what the hell I was doing and reminding myself to calm down it was just a Zoom call.😂 I remember when we started the call the first thing we all talked about is how nervous we ALL were and within the first 10 minutes I knew I had gained lifelong friendships. I look forward to our in-depth discussions and our laughter every single week. It’s such a joyous respite in all the craziness of the world."

"When I initially heard about the bookclub it was a 'no go' area for me. Reading as a hobby is not my thing. Nor is engaging with a group of females on a weekly basis. I knew some of my views were going to be seen as controversial, but gave it a go regardless. What a great decision it was to step out of my comfort zone. It's been a blessing to meet such an amazing group of ladies. The wisdom, encouragement and love shared are beautiful. Thank you."

"Nova added me to the WhatsApp group for book club on 4th May 2021. Coming into book club later was a bit daunting for me because I felt everyone already knew each other and had bonded whereas I didn’t know anyone properly. I did worry If I would fit in, if the girls would be accepting of me but everyone was so nice and welcoming. 

It’s now a part of my weekly routine to join book club which I do look forward to. I’ve been building new connections and hearing experiences realising that even though we are all different we have similarities which are relatable too."

"When I first heard about the idea of joining a book club I was keen to get reading our first book as I had a love for reading however, had been finding excuses not to read and also felt demotivated. Therefore when I heard that Nova was starting a book club I was excited to join in. Even though I did not know anybody within the group I felt it was time to step out of my comfort zone and get reading with like-minded women. I still remember the first session we had. I imagined there would be a load of people on the Zoom call with their cameras off and only a few people voicing their opinions on the first three chapters of the story we were reading at the time. To my dismay, everyone’s camera was on and Nova was encouraging everyone to join in. I had my daughter with me and she was very young at the time so I had an excuse to put myself on mute. After I had listened to the opinions of others I couldn’t help but join in and add my two pence. Little did I know this would be the start of beautiful, blossoming friendships. After that the rest was history! I look forward to seeing these inspiring, thoughtful amazing ladies every  Thursday where we have some deep, thought-provoking conversations. My Thursday nights have never been so enjoyable! And our quiz nights are just the best! I love it when we have finished a book and get together to complete a quiz- we definitely see everyone’s competitive side come out! I am extremely happy that I decided to take that brave step a year ago, the book club has had such a positive impact on my life and I look forward to diving into several more books."

"I’m honoured to be in this group - it has not only got me reading books again but it has also made me think about where I am in my life and what I want for myself.

These women are great - we share our thoughts not only the books but also on life - we inspire and encourage each other and I’m so proud to be a part of Women Empowering Women."

"When I joined the book club this was via another membership group.

What initially was for me to task myself to read more  I found a wonderful group of sisters from all different backgrounds and locations. We have laughed bonded and cried with this group. I love the intimacy and growth of this group."

"My favourite moment since joining book club was meeting some of the fantastic ladies in person. It was such a lovely afternoon full of laughter and love and hope we can do it again when of course the weather will be better. ."

"I was really excited to join book club, I love reading books but I felt like I could never finish one! 

Book club came at the right time for me, it was just the motivation I needed. It is my Thursday night fix. I look forward to catching up with the ladies. Full of great, thought-provoking conversations and a good laugh of course. I have to say quiz nights are my fav, so much fun! 

I love how book club has evolved with guest speakers - they are all so inspiring!."
