CAMP OMA - Creating A More Personal Omaha

08/03/2026

I was crying myself to sleep 3 years ago because I was soo lonely…

And now, I have more than 10 local women I call “friend.” 🥹

We’re not all living in the same part of town, we’re not members of a shared community, and family and Friday nights and finances look different for all of us. None of my friends knew each other before they met me — and yet, I’m obsessed with bringing together some of my favorite people.

Today is National Friendship Day, and I’m thinking about how friendship is the best part of my life right now. And my hope is that everyone experiences this level of love, support, trust, and commitment at some point in life — ideally, with other local women. 💕

You don’t need a friend group (unless you really want one). You just need a “friendship landscape” that affirms each part of your identity (i.e. race, gender, beliefs, interests, etc.), mutual effort and trust, and a good mix of activities and things you enjoy talking about with your people.

I’m 34 and female friendship has been a top priority for me for about 3 years. How old were you when I felt satisfied in your friendships overall? (Totally okay if you haven’t been and aren’t now. Maybe CAMP OMA - Creating A More Personal Omaha can help you find a seat at the right table. 🧡)

I started our Monday night summer craft club series because I knew so many of us craved having more connection, and I wanted us to have a low-cost way for us to find it. Every week, a group of strangers has met up at a new location around the Omaha metro to try out a new hobby or tap into nostalgia, and has left knowing a few more people than when they arrived.

That’s the point. That’s the whole point.

Keeping an open mind, showing up even when it’s a little scary or uncomfortable, and putting ourselves out there one event at a time to help Omaha feel a little more like home. 💕

Let us know in the comments if you’ve had a good time and at least one solid conversation at craft club so far! 🫶🏽
