E for All 2025 Showcase & Celebration

Thank you for having me as a part of your showcase and celebration. It was an honor to help celebrate your completion of the accelerator program. Please take a few moments to share your feedback HERE as it helps me hone my skills and stay relevant.

Reminder 1: WRITE YOUR STORY.

1. Seriously, write it down.

2. Who do you want to be? What kind of life do you want to live?

3. Why are those things important to you?

4. What is your story of your life challenges? What did you learn?

5. What is your overarching purpose? And I’m not talking about a title or a role.

6. What kind of impact do you want to make?

7. How will you contribute to a healthy ecosystem?

Reminder 2: HONOR THE CYCLE YOU ARE IN.

1. By that I mean honor who you are and what you’re doing right now, the cycle that your life is in right now. When my daughter was a toddler, as a single working mother, that was a very different cycle that it is now that she is a college student.

2. We tend to waste a lot of time comparing our story to someone else, not recognizing that we are in very different cycles. Use their stories as inspiration, not competition.

3. When we don’t honor the cycle we’re in, we tend to set unrealistic expectations on ourselves that diminish our ability to enjoy the journey, and sometimes can even diminishes our health and sanity.

4. Let’s not be the scientists who rushed the process. Honor the cycle and enjoy all of the lessons and gifts it has for you.

5. This will also require us to be creative and adaptable. Think of it like this: Hold onto your story of WHAT you want and WHY you want it and be willing to shift the HOW to fit your life at this time.

Reminder 3: STAY CONNECTED TO HEALTHY & SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITIES.

1. Pay attention to and spend time with people and in spaces that are healthy and supportive.

2. Pay attention to what you listen to and watch. They are planting seeds that are keeping you healthy and sane or not.

3. Become the healthy and supportive person and create spaces around you that foster growth, joy, and love. We can’t just want these things, we have to become these things. It’s good for life and its good for business. Be that to yourself as well as others.

4. Spend quality time with your people. Don’t be one of those people that only reaches out when you need something.

5. Longest Harvard study shows that the quality of our overall health and happiness is directly connected to the health of our relationships.

Four Things are Needed for Change

1. Practice awareness. Pay attention and be aware of what is happening. Do not minimize it or maximize it. See it for what it is.

2. Ask questions. Ask yourself and others about what you do want. Knowing what we don’t want can help us get very clear about what we do want. Sometimes the only thing that separates ‘what is’ from ‘what is wanted’ is the right question.

3. Make a decision. Just one decision that feels more like peace is all you need to create a life you love. Be sure that the decision aligns with your values and priorities.

4. Take action. Not taking action causes greater anxiety, fear and stress. Take action. If you fail, be aware of that, question it and make a new decision. It is a delicious way to learn. If you take action and it’s a win, celebrate.

   Rinse and repeat.
