How It Works
How It Works
01
Monthly Book Selection
Each month, we vote on a book in our group chat or on social media. Everyone is welcome to suggest a book within the month’s theme, or I’ll choose three options for the group to vote on.
02
BYOB & Read at Your Own Pace
BYOB: Buy Your Own Book. Once the book is chosen, you order it and read at your own pace. A reading guide will be provided at the beginning of the month to suggest how to stay on track, but no pressure to follow it.
03
*Casual* & Virtual Monthly Discussion
At the end of the month (usually the last Sunday evening), we meet on Google Meet to chat about what we read, share reflections, and discuss how to implement the lessons.
​
*Casual* meaning no pressure. Don't worry if you didn't finish the book. We're not here to make life more stressful. We're just here to support your growth journey. Also, occasionally we'll host events or activities, which will be shared on social media and updated here. Stay tuned for more ways to connect and grow!
04
Rinse & Repeat
Each month, we repeat the process—this is for YOUR benefit, to create positive change that enriches your life and those around you. Watch as you start to get richer, mentally and emotionally.

About Marissa, the Creator of Grwth.Social
"I'm not striving for perfection—it’s an impossible reach. But every day, I’m committed to being just a little better than I was yesterday"
Hi, I’m Marissa – a mom, entrepreneur, and creator of Grwth.Social. My journey to building this community started from a place of self-awareness and a desire for growth.
​
I’ll be honest—I was never a big reader growing up, and still am not really. I don’t exactly look at a book and think, ‘Wow, I can’t wait to read.’ But I truly believe that knowledge is power. If I want to be a stronger mother, partner, and person, that power begins with awareness and a commitment to learning.
​
Life is full. Between raising my child, dabbling in entrepreneurial interests, working a 9-5, venturing into the world of Airbnb real estate, trying to balance fitness, health, and feeding my family—all while still exploring hobbies like painting and pickleball—my plate is overflowing. So when I do make time to read, I want it to matter. I want to read something that will help me improve. Despite the chaos of life, I know I have work to do—on my resilience, patience, communication, and becoming the best version of myself.
​
Now that I’m 30, I also see how important it is to surround yourself with quality, like-minded people who build you up instead of holding you back. Grwth.Social was born out of my need for accountability and connection. I realized I wasn’t alone on this journey. Many of us want to grow, but sometimes it’s hard to take that first step or stick with it. That’s where this community comes in. I created Grwth.Social to be a space to grow, learn, and connect.
I’m not striving for perfection—it’s an impossible reach. But every day, I’m committed to being just a little better than I was yesterday.
​
Growth is a challenging journey, but you don’t have to go at it alone. It’s always easier—and more meaningful—with a supportive community by your side. If you're on a similar journey, order this month’s book and let's grow together!
​
XOXO Gossip Girl.

Jk - Marissa. Just always wanted to say that.
