💡 Key Insights from Alyssa Aviles

1. Stack Your Talents – Your unique combination of skills isn't a liability—it’s your superpower. When you stack them instead of silo them, you create uncommon value.
2. Watch for Warning Signs – Ignoring physical and emotional red flags (insomnia, stomach issues, emotional breakdowns) can cost you your health, your peace, and your future.
3. Take the Leap Before You're Ready – Growth rarely feels comfortable. Sometimes you have to quit before the “net” appears—and trust that God will meet you mid-leap.

💪 Resilience Corner

Your body knows when your soul is suffocating. Pay attention. Healing starts when you listen—and take bold action even when you're scared.

🧠 Leadership Insight

True leadership begins with self-leadership. You can't pour into others from a place of depletion. Your first act of leadership is protecting your mental, emotional, and spiritual health.

❓ Reflection Question

Where in your life are you feeling trapped because you’re afraid to leap? What would it look like to trust that God already prepared a net?
