Connect and Rise with Patrice Bening, runner, mom, and Certified Financial Planner who empowers women through Herself by Morton. Patrice shares the amazing story of how she learned boldness from her mother as a child in Romania. She will remind you never to settle and that change is is the only constant in life (so it’s best to get comfortable with being uncomfortable). If we don’t take risks, we won’t know if we can succeed… so give it your all.

Connect and Rise with Rette Green, triathlete, mom, and autoimmune warrior.  Rette shares some of her journey and reminds us to take the chances. Always take the shots. She reminds us that the things that we value deserve to hold space in our lives; our actions should be bold.

She tells us that on race days (or any difficult situation in life) the grit and bravery we develop through the struggle can be drawn on when needed later in life.

This is a sweet little episode with my niece Juliana that was recorded earlier in July before our shared birthday. She has such a big heart. The idea of the episode was to talk about an amazing song she knew from a dance performance. She felt very connected to the lyrics which simply put remind us that we are not alone. I love you, Juliana!

Connect and Rise with Jessie Wolinsky @badassblindbabe who has lost most of her vision to retinitis pigmentosa but who has NOT lost her desire to continuing evolving and living an expansive life. She will encourage you to do the same. Jessie shares her journey, including finding out about her diagnosis when she was fourteen and  developing her capacity for self love through the challenges that have come in the years since. She reminds us that emotions are not permanent and that we need to get in the habit of asking if an emotion (or how we are spending our time) serves us. Jessie notes that we are all given a lot of ideas on what we should do, but too often we don’t ask ourselves what aligns with our innermost selves or who we want to be. She reminds us to be unafraid to walk with fear. The point of life is to evolve and to continue becoming whoever we want to be.

Connect and Rise with Kriste, runner, writer, producer, meditator, speaker, ambassador, and advocate of changing our narratives on wellness.  Kriste describes how internalized  ideas and lived experiences sometimes hold us back. She discusses the importance of being receptive and curious- this allows us to continue growing. Kriste will inspire you to “come home to yourself” and do something (even one small, brave thing) that is the next step towards your dream and to “mine the depths of the hard places within you.” You have no idea what opportunities will unfold if you call yourself to be bold.

Connect and Rise with Ashley Davies, movement coach, run club leader, and community connecter in Seattle, WA. Ashley shares how struggle shaped her, how she has learned to create boundaries to protect her space, and the way she is allowing herself to continue to grow. Ashley has a passion for creating an inclusive space for people to “move and be themselves.” She believes deeply in the power of connection and the power of creating welcoming spaces because she believes that we are meant to walk together. So make eye contact, share a smile, and let those you meet feel seen.  Ashley encourages us to be bold by always working for change, pushing beyond spaces that are comfortable. This helps us to progress towards building a new tomorrow in which we all feel less alone and more empowered to live vibrant lives.
