Today marks a significant milestone for me – it's been a year since I took a leap of faith and accepted the role of Operations Manager at Sunflowers Suicide Support. Joining Sunflowers, was both daunting and exciting. I felt so far from my comfort zone at this point in time, due to personal reasons my confidence and self-esteem, were, in hindsight, at rock bottom but it felt like this was a gift I simply could not turn down. Accepting this role wasn't just about taking on a new job that was full of meaning and purpose and doing something I believed in; it was a commitment to myself as well, to rediscovering my belief in my abilities. Today, on #internationaldayofhappines, I find it fitting to reflect on how this decision has massively altered my life in the past year. In hindsight, I realise that embracing the unknown and pushing beyond my limits has been the catalyst for personal and professional growth for me. Surrounded by the most incredible team at Sunflowers, I've witnessed first-hand the transformative power of sharing a vision and showing unwavering support to each other and those who access our services. Admittedly, I've made questionable decisions, personally and professionally, in the past (more than I care to admit), but joining Sunflowers is definitely not one of them. Over the past year, I've made the most wonderful connections and friendships, each contributing to my this new version of me. With each passing day, my confidence is growing, and I find myself venturing beyond the confines of my comfort zone more frequently (not as frequently as I'd like but I am taking the small wins). Progress isn't always linear, but it is undeniable. As I sit and reflect on the past year, I'm filled with gratitude for the opportunities, the challenges, and the lessons I have learned along the way. Today, I encourage each of you to consider the impact of taking that leap of faith – of embracing the unknown with courage and conviction. Thank you to Abbie Warren for allowing me the opportunity to safely jump when it felt scary! Here's to the next year 🌻 . 🌻 #PersonalGrowth #SunflowersCommunity #Gratitude

Thank you for all the support yesterday. I didn't think it would hit me emotionally but of course it did, friends, colleagues, and strangers sending love and support like that, I really appreciate it. Today I’m sharing another version of the same story….please share your thoughts, whats different? ————————————————- In 2022, I was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s. It’s something I never wanted or expected, and I’m still not sure how to feel about it. I try to stay positive, but it’s hard. I reached out to a friend, Stephen Hunter, for help, but I still feel lost. I’ve tried focusing on regaining my strength, and in the first year, I saw some progress, but I still feel like it’s not enough. Some days, it feels like it could slip away, and I’m just holding on. This disruption has forced me to face my fears and self-doubt. I started Find My Moxy seven years ago, but honestly, I’m not sure I’ve ever fully believed in it. I don’t feel qualified to help others when I’m still struggling myself. If there’s anything I hope others can take from my experience, it’s this: 💎 Don’t just go through the motions—sometimes life forces a disruption, and it’s hard to see what comes next. 💎 Pay attention to your mind, even if it feels negative—there’s something there. 💎 There’s more inside you, but it’s hard to uncover. I share this on LinkedIn because it feels right, but sometimes I wonder if anyone cares. I’m still trying to figure out who I am, and maybe you are too. I just don’t want to give up. Here’s to finding something through the disruption. #FindYourMoxy

Greetings, LinkedIn community, As we journey through 2024, I have been reflecting on our challenges. Personal losses and illnesses have tested our resolve, and there were moments when I questioned my ability to inspire as I have been called to do. But then, it dawned on me—our gifts are not just for us; they are beacons for others. When we retreat from our dreams and aspirations, we inadvertently delay someone else’s progress. We all have something unique to offer. It could be a talent, a skill, a passion, or even a simple act of kindness that comes naturally to you. Reflect on what brings you joy, what you excel at, and what others often appreciate about you. That is your gift. So, I invite you to dig deeper: What is the unique gift that only you possess? How have the first six months of 2024 challenged you? What obstacles have you encountered on your path to making a difference? Let me know in the comments below. I am grateful for your engagement and look forward to hearing about your unique gifts and how you plan to use them to overcome the obstacles of 2024. Remember, it’s not the end. I am committed to not allowing this year to mirror the last. I’m steadfast in my determination to make a difference, and I invite you to join me on this transformation journey. What will you do to make 2024 stand out? Stay connected for more insights and encouragement. Embrace Your Gift! Make 2024 a Year of Transformation #Gifts #Purpose #Dreams #Yesican #Getitdone #Allthingsarepossible #Destiny #Mypurpose #Myfuture #Believe

The Ultimate Choice “When you’re stuck in a quagmire, you have two options: surrender and perish, or fight and survive.” Life presents us with various situations, some of which can be compared to a quagmire. A quagmire is a soft, boggy area of land that gives way underfoot. It’s an uncomfortable place to be, and it’s easy to feel stuck. But it’s in these moments of discomfort that we are presented with a choice. We can either give up and let the situation consume us, or we can muster the strength to fight and find a way out. The first option, surrendering, might seem like the easier choice. After all, fighting requires effort, energy, and determination. But surrendering means giving up on our potential. It means accepting defeat without even trying. It’s a path that leads to stagnation and despair. It’s a path that leads to perishing in the metaphorical quagmire. The second option, fighting, is undoubtedly more difficult. It requires us to face our fears, to confront our challenges, and to push through the discomfort. But it’s also the path that leads to survival. It’s the path that allows us to grow, to learn, and to become stronger. It’s the path that leads us out of the quagmire and towards a brighter future. Survival, in this case, is not just about making it through the quagmire. It’s about coming out on the other side as a stronger, more resilient individual. It’s about learning from the experience and using it to fuel our future growth. It’s about proving to ourselves that we have what it takes to overcome even the most challenging situations. So, let’s choose to fight when we find ourselves in a quagmire. Let’s choose to push through the discomfort, to face our challenges head-on, and to emerge on the other side stronger and more resilient. Let’s choose survival over surrender, growth over stagnation, and greatness over mediocrity. #Resilience #Courage #Growth #SpiritualAwakening #Power Zanadee’s Dao

Are you amid a midlife crisis/opportunity? Is it time to completely change your frame of reference? http://creativejourney.us *If someone you care about is facing the big questions, you may want to point them toward a Creative Journey. These nature-based deeply introspective experiences can help them shed layers of accumulated patterning from the past and emerge with confidence and conviction about how to proceed.

Lifequakes: those big, unexpected moments that shake up everything you know. For me, it was a serious illness and grief. Two back-to-back hits that completely changed my world. It wasn’t easy, but those tough moments didn’t knock me down - they put me on a new path. Out of that challenging time, I created qVirtual, a company built on resilience and wanting to truly make a difference to others. As business owners, we all face lifequakes, whether it’s a failed venture or a personal setback. These moments push us to rethink, pivot, and to ultimately grow. It’s hard at the time, but these shake-ups can sometimes lead to powerful transformation. Have you had a lifequake that changed your direction?

Even when you don't feel like it The times I felt "Who even cares?" Someone DMed me, telling me - How I inspired 'em - How they felt seen + heard - How they started posting coz of me My point? - Someone always cared!
