We visualize a future where we are all able to live in an equitable, just, inclusive, accessible, better world and no one is left behind.

We are cultivating a garden of encouragement as an antidote for AI anxiety. Learn how to rewire your brain, build resilience and embrace technology as we evolve into the future.

Hello Substackers and friends from all over the world

Thank you for taking the time to view my About Me page. It seems that we go through many iterations to land in a place that describes what we would like to help people with. I am sure you can all relate to the fact that life has a way of happening and sometimes it just keeps happening.But I am getting lost in the weeds. Let me talk a little about my journey to this point.

Before I do that I want to share:

Exciting News:

The ‘Seed Vault’ for paid subscribers will be opening soon in our Community Garden Newsletter. It will be a treasure trove of ideas, workshops and challenges to help you grow and adapt!

Special offer until Dec 15th -my Newsletter is $40 for the whole year

My journey

I have always been an encourager. Kindness is a core value of mine and volunteering has been an integral part of part of who I am. Currently, I am in what I call my Third Act. A lifetime of education, knowledge, work in a variety of industries and resilience experience has merged into who you see today.

Moment in time

In each of our life timelines there are moments in time that we can point to that define us. You know how it is. Life seems to be just ticking along and then wham your whole world turns upside down. One such moment in my life was in November 7th, 2017 - when the doc said:

Your person has no feeling in their legs.”

My autistic person walked into the hospital for back surgery at 5am in the morning and by the afternoon they were paralyzed. (This story will be told another day :-)

Now What?

When a traumatic event happens you go on auto pilot - our Resilience Toolbox pops open. Resilience is like a muscle - when it gets over used it can stretch to the point where it feels like its going to snap!

This is why it’s important to take the time to sit in ‘the messy middle’ process and move through to the other side. Otherwise each event gets added to the previous one and we end up carrying a lot of unprocessed baggage. There is a way to find peace in turbulent times and we will be talking about this.

Fast forward to Sep 2023

I serendipitously came across a writing course which literally changed my life. Without realizing it, I had been stuck for seven years. Not practicing what I had been talking about my whole life.

The lid of my life sprung open and let the sunlight back in. After the writing course I joined Tim and Todd’s Mastermind and I am part of an incredibly kind and supportive community. Together we can go so much further than we ever could alone.

2025

If you are like me - you are tired of hearing about what you could or should do in 2025. What if I told you that you already have the solution?

This is where our community garden of encouragement comes into the story. In the garden there will be all kinds of opportunities to relax, learn and get ready for the digital transformation we are undergoing.

I can help you learn how to change your thought patterns and should you choose to - this will lead to changing your life. Less stress and anxiety about the future all through a wellbeing lens.
