Our Story

Conscious Community Collectives is owned and operated by Missy Seslar and Maggie Bender.  

Both Maggie and Missy were active members of the Collective before stepping into ownership, giving them a deep understanding of its heart, purpose, and the community it serves. What started as something they were part of quickly became something they were called to grow.

Together, Missy and Maggie felt a pull to continue and expand what CCC was created to do: support what they feel are the true backbones of our community….families and small business owners.

Because at the heart of CCC is one simple belief:
we’re not meant to do this alone.

We exist to create real and meaningful connection.
For families, Conscious Community Collectives is a free trusted resource. Our online directory connects you with reputable, ethical, local providers who truly care about the work they do.

For small business owners, CCC is more than a listing, it’s a place to belong.

We’ve created an environment where relationships come first and collaboration feels natural. Where referrals grow out of genuine connection, not forced networking. It’s a space to build your business while also being supported as a human.

Because when small businesses are supported well, they show up better for the families they serve. And when families are supported well, our entire community becomes stronger.

It may not fit neatly into a quick elevator pitch… but it works.

And it matters.

So whether you’re looking for support or looking to be part of something bigger, you’re welcome here.

This is Community.
Consciously built by our Collective.

We’re real people, doing this work with a whole lot of heart.

We’re so glad you’re here!
