Join the club

Why membership?

Our book club doubles as a body image support group. It’s where some of our most vulnerable conversations happen.

Keeping book club within the membership helps create the consistency and trust that make those conversations possible. While drop-ins are welcome at our community events, book club is reserved for gorls who want to keep showing up and growing together. That shared commitment helps the room feel grounded, connected, and safe.

Membership includes…

Lifetime access to book club

Book Club is the heart of Gorls Who Eat and where the deep connection and true body image support happens. We read books that challenge diet culture and encourage body acceptance. We read about one book every two months and these are potluck style dinners hosted in cozy apartments.

Early access to event sign-ups

We intentionally keep gatherings small and intimate so that meaningful connection is possible. As a member, you’ll get first access to all event registrations before they’re open to the public. This ensures you have the best chance of securing your spot at the gatherings you’re excited about.

GWE Gallery

Our shared GWE Gallery lets you add photos, save the moments you love, and return to the memories we’ve created together anytime.

Discounted tickets to all events

Alongside Book Club, GWE hosts monthly community gatherings like gorl dinners, craft nights, size-free shopping events, beach picnics, and more. As a member, you receive a discounted ticket price for every single event.

Exclusive member-only events

Members get access to special gatherings created just for you — designed to give you the most out of your membership and deepen the connections forming in this community.

Access to our private group chat

Membership comes with entry into our private GWE chat that’s used for day to day communications, monday mantras, check-ins, sharing wins, asking questions, planning future events, swapping recipes, or just feeling supported throughout your week.

Full access to Substack content

Your membership includes full access to all GWE Substack posts — journal prompts, body image resources, deeper reflection letters, and ongoing support between events. This content is normally reserved for paid Substack subscribers, but members get everything for free. After you join, I’ll manually add you as a paid subscriber so you can access the full library.

Guaranteed diet-free safe space

Gorls Who Eat is a space you can count on to be free of diet talk and body comments. In a world that still pushes harmful messages, having a place where you and your body are safe is sacred and we’re here to protect that.

Your Questions, Answered

  • Yes! Most GWE events are open to the public unless they’re specifically marked as member-only. Non-members can still attend; you just won’t receive the discounted member ticket price.

  • No. Book Club is included in your membership, but it’s always optional. You can join for the books that interest you most or skip a month entirely — whatever feels right. Book Club is a members-only gathering, so non-members aren’t able to attend.

  • Tickets are non-refundable, but they are transferable. If you can’t make it, please contact Mikaela before transferring your ticket so we can update our attendee list.

  • Yes. You can cancel your membership at any time, and your access will remain active through the end of your current billing period. Refunds are not offered for partially used billing cycles, but you’re welcome to rejoin the community whenever you’re ready.

  • GWE is a supportive community space, not a replacement for therapy or professional care. If you need additional support, please reach out. Mikaela is happy to share trusted therapist and dietitian recommendations.
