Dr. Amber Gunner: From Semi-Finalist to TEDx Stage
Yesterday we dropped the podcast episode with Dr. Amber Gunner. She was once right where you are - a TEDxThirdWard semi-finalist. With focus and persistence, she turned her idea into a talk that earned her a place on the stage as a finalist. In her talk, Dr. Gunner shared how burnout isn’t just about stress, it’s about disconnection. She showed us that real success isn’t doing it all alone, it’s having the courage to ask for help and letting community carry some of the load. Now you can hear her story and the big idea she shared on the TEDxThirdWard stage. It’s a powerful reminder of how far an idea can go when you commit to it. Poll: If you had to ask for help this week, what kind would make the biggest difference for you?

This is spot on. Alot of times we are crying out for help but on the INSIDE. Using her method of creating a list Establishes efficiency and a system designed to guide a person in need to the resources that fit that need. There are so many narratives around doing things yourself that I myself am currently working through and this Tedx Talk really sealed the deal on how to go about that as I continue on that journey.
Diamond in the Making...
Happy Friday..."Remember that diamonds don't look like diamonds in their rough initial state". Let's keep at it until we are shaped into that precious stone. 💎💎

Facts I always say pressure bursts pipes but also make diamonds. A reminder that you decide how you allow life's circumstances to shape you. 💜

@Brittney Bingham Girl, Yes it's so true! Tryna fit a square peg into a round hole will never work. We're meant to expand and express. Yes the NARRATIVES we learn become out internal NO and thus spiritual warfare/inner turmoil/cognitive dissonance however you say. It's also how the shadow self is created and fostered into the unhealthy coping mechanisms we adapt to try and "keeping it together " thanks for your comment💜

@Star Bobatoon thank you for your feedback. There is so much at stake when repression begins to overtake release and Authentic Expression. I learned the hard way how repressed stress and energy basically keeps you stagnant in all aspects of SELF.
