Bootstrappers in Sumatra, Indonesia!

This week’s episode is a really special one because I’m joined by six women from the Bootstrap community while we’re all together in Sumatra, Indonesia after 10 days of jungle trekking, volcano hikes, river swims, karaoke nights, deep chats, and honestly… a lot of laughing.

This episode is basically one big cozy group chat. We reflect on blogging, creativity, online friendships, and the kind of community that can grow when people genuinely support one another.

We also talk about:

• How we each found blogging
• The loneliness that can come with online work
• Why community matters so much in creative industries
• The surprising beauty of internet friendships becoming real-life ones
