• I have to honest and say that I had no clue what it meant to be tagged in this #challengeaccepted #womensupportingwomen “challenge” — and after reading about the origins of it, this needs to be shared 🙏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ While I’m incredibly appreciative of the wonderful women who have tagged me in this, please know that taking part in this “challenge” marks your stand against the femicide happening in Turkey. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This may be news to *us* right now, but it’s definitely not a new occurrence for Turkish women — it’s always been happening. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Black & White pictures they wake up to every day in their newspapers represent the women they’ve lost. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So while it's a wonderful thing to support fellow women in this space, I highly encourage you to look deeper into the real message that's rooted behind this. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Please go to: @auturkishculturalclub @accordingtoweeze for more info about the origins of this 🙏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you to @one6creative @tamaraglick @unpopd for sharing your sources ❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you to @iamsilvanatoledo @daringlygreatleadership @jacquelynrodriguezintuitive for originally tagging me and inspiring me to find out what this challenge really meant as a result 🙏

  • Self-care isn't selfish.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's a priority that many of us (myself included) have put on the back burner for way too long... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But no more.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm on this new journey to integrate self-care into my regular routine instead of fitting it in *if* I had the time -- and I hope you'll join me, my lovely.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ These past few days have been the most uneasy I've felt in a long time, and to be honest? It was really difficult to feel grounded again.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Mostly because I didn't understand why this was suddenly happening... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But thanks to the incredibly smart women I have surrounding me as friends, mentors, and my soul sisters -- now I know.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This month has involved a decisions to let go of things that no longer align with where I want to go, and *who* I want to be -- including:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - Letting go of a misaligned client (SO hard!!!)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - Changing my business model to VIP Days + Group Programs only -- no more retainer work⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - Retiring an already successful group program to make room for an even bigger one.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Aaaaand so much more.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So you can imagine that since all the weight on my shoulders was lifted, everything was literally up in the air.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I lost my footing temporarily, and severed the connection to many things which once kept me weighed down... (though I misinterpreted them as keeping me grounded to something)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And now I've given myself time and space to heal and sit with the unknown... I'm able to plant my new roots as the foundations of my life to build from a place of intention, integrity, service, and true alignment.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'll say it again my lovely, self-care isn't selfish because NO ONE can pour from an empty cup. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's to intentionally nurture yourself to make space for what's to come. So make more room for you.

  • *Warning - Rant Ahead*⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "No, you can't just throw money at me to get access to my friends and connections."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sometimes it takes alllll of my willpower to not accidentally blurt this out.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But then again, sometimes I think I just should -- just to get the message across, y'know?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As I delve deeper into connection-centered marketing (through my work being a Podcast Guesting Strategist), I notice that there are some folks who want to experience the benefits of it but without doing the hard work...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And who think that paying me extra $$$ will let them duck under the velvet rope into the VIP area. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ No love, that's not how it works -- at least not with me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Connection-Centred Marketing is not something you can outsource completely, because the connection needs to be with YOU. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Okie?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Behind the scenes... there have been so many impromptu calls I've had with my biz peers + friends, which have often led to 1-3 hour deep soul chats...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Revealing things they've never shared before out of fear of judgment, or because they didn't know how to express themselves until that moment...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ THAT is connection, my friend.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So you bet your honeybuns that I will safely guard these beautiful humans I've had the pleasure of getting to know.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I share this with you today my lovely, to call IN my fellow connection-centered marketers and let them know they're doing incredible things.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And... to be honest? To purposely repel those who are wolves in sheep's clothing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If this post triggers you, then you have 2 options:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1) Unfollow me if you have an oppositional POV to what I'm saying here.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2) Stay connected with me, and continually build those Connection-Centred Marketing muscles.
