Good morning & Happy Sunday! It’s been a minute since I’ve posted, so I wanted to check in with all of you. Since it’s Mental Health Month, I’m curious - what are your go-to mental health hacks when you feel yourself drifting or things feel “off”? Is it a walk? Do you have a happy place? Is it music? Playing or listening? A hobby? Drop it in the comments and let’s support each other with some fresh ideas or reminders. Remember: fear screams, intuition whispers. Carole

I've just posted the first of many messages on Substack. Have a listen. I hope this first day of the first month in a "1" year inspires you to create, move, shake... to find joy in the messy middle... to stop and savour each and every win... ...and to recognize and celebrate how truly magnificent you are.

As we go into this weekend dedicated to gratitude, I want to express my own deep gratitude for each and every one of you. The community we are building here energizes me in ways I sometimes have difficulty explaining (much to my marketing mind’s dismay). I am passionately in love with: - Our 7am Study Group - your aha’s, your insights, your energy. Thank you for turning Tuesday mornings into a “charging station”. - The 333 mastermind - the magnification of the minds and the feeding of our individual projects. Thank you for your clarity and generosity. - Our monthly coaching calls - your questions, your input, your curiosity. Thank you for showing up and your willingness to get in the ring and share your zone of genius. - Your notes of love, support and encouragement. Thank you for inspiring me every day, and the trust you’ve placed in me. I wish you all a wonderful, reflective and peaceful Thanksgiving. Love you all. Carole xo

We changed things up at this morning’s Study Group with a healthy discussion. Thank you, @Brenda-Lynn Haley and @Yasemin Watkins for your insights and beautiful energy. In the waiting room before the call, I ran Mel Robbins’ “Why your Morning Routine Matters”. Here are the 6 Steps she tells us are critical to starting your day right: 1) Wake up within 5 seconds of the alarm, no matter what. 2) Make the bed. 3) High five yourself in the mirror. 4) Drink a full glass of water (try to delay coffee). 5) Get natural sun light. 6) Take a 10 minute walk.

I plugged my story board points into the paid version of ChatGPT and asked for a self image script. I like what I got - especially the last few lines which I will use as a daily affirmation. Sharing to encourage others to play and delight in what you hear reflected back to you! I will continue to fine tune the PDF format to get onto a single page... work in progress. Hope to inspire others to try
