The Why
There is a kind of conversation that doesn’t have a natural home. Not therapy, not a dinner party, not a workshop with a workbook. Something in between, where women can think carefully about their lives without having to perform certainty or lightness or wellness. I wanted to build that space. I also wanted it to be fun.
The name started as a joke. A sarcastic nod to the 90s self-help book “Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus” that sorted us all neatly into planets and told us what we were. We are not the women that book describes. So we went further out: Neptune, the planet of art, dreams, and inspiration. Strange and distant and exactly right.
What I Did
Good Girls from Neptune began as something closer to a lifestyle concept: women, fun, spiritual, a little Sex and the City energy but with actual interiority. I wanted content and community that felt like a magazine you actually wanted to read, not a program you had to commit to.
It grew into something more specific. With designer Soraya Radarit, we built a brand that took the philosophy seriously all the way down. The logo was set in a typeface assembled from letterforms created by female designers from around the world: every character made by a different woman, from a different culture, a different story. “Long Live Maximalism” was the brand key point: bold, declarative, unafraid of taking up space. Because sometimes loud and proud is exactly what’s needed.
The community that formed around it became the real project. I host and facilitate workshops, reading rooms, and gatherings: spaces designed around depth rather than performance, where the quality of presence matters more than the number of people in the room. The philosophy underneath everything: healed people heal people. If we can learn to hear ourselves more honestly, we become better for the people around us.
Outcomes
Good Girls from Neptune is still running. It has built a small, genuine community of women who return because the space delivers what it promises: thoughtfulness without pressure, intimacy without oversharing, conversations that are hard to find elsewhere.
What I am most proud of is not the events or the branding, though I love both. It is that the space has stayed true to what it was trying to be. That is harder than it sounds. Most communities drift toward what is easy to explain or easy to scale. This one has not. It remains a constellation, which is what we always called it, of people finding their way toward something together, without needing to arrive at the same place. That has always been the philosophy at the center: healed people heal people.
