I appreciate you sharing this! I am generally organized in business. I feel like if I miss a few days due to my health it is hard to catch up on emails, notifications, etc. so then it takes me time to get organized again. At home I have more of an organized mess in my closet, but my living space is clean and tidy!

I agree! This is so true. When things are unorganized it can be overwhelming, things slip through the cracks. I am very bad at letting things go so I will have to look into "The Cascading Threshold".

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome! I greatly appreciate it! I have been doing well and am excited to be a part of this community. I sprained my ankle when I was 17 and I developed a rare nerve condition called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) and many comorbidities. It is the most painful condition known to modern medicine ranking higher than cancer pain, childbirth pain, and even amputation. The pain is 24/7, however, there is no treatment or cure. I do a lot of advocacy work and am on the board for the non-profit organization that focuses on CRPS. I go to DC every year during Rare Disease Week to advocate for individuals like myself. I have had to face a lot of adversity over the past 19 years. This effected where I went to college because my first choice was not accessible for someone with a disability, however, I am so happy where I ended up. In 5 years time I received Bachelor's Degrees in Biology and Chemistry with minors in Mathematics and Criminal Justice and a Master's Degree in Chemistry. I went on to work in a Pathology lab at Yale School of Medicine working on Alzheimer's Disease, Brain Tumor research, and other projects. I have 2 scientific publications from my Undergraduate Chemistry research and our work at Yale. My plan was to attend an MD/PhD program after getting some experience in the lab. I wanted to become an Anesthesiologist with a specialty in Pediatric Pain Management. I hope to get my PhD in Biomedical Engineering. Unfortunately, I worked at Yale for less than a year when my condition worsened and I lost the dexterity in my hands which also eliminated the possibility for me to go into medicine. I was heartbroken because I felt many opportunities have been taken away from me due to my condition, but I never give up, and I never settle. I tutored since the time I was 16, all through undergraduate and graduate school, and while I was working at Yale so I started tutoring more after I left Yale. I worked for a homeschool service, and when that company closed I went on to teach Middle and High School Math and Science for a "cloud campus", and now I currently teach one Chemistry course a semester as a virtual adjunct professor which I enjoy! I came across digital marketing on social media and thought it would be the perfect fit for my lifestyle given all of my appointments (doctors, PT, OT, procedures, etc.) since I can't work a 9-5. Also, a 40 hour work week would be unsustainable with my health. I have had high hopes for digital marketing, but I have yet to sell my course. I started advertising on my Service Dog's TikTok account, but I am reaching the wrong audience so I plan on starting with fresh accounts across the social media platforms so the algorithm pushes me to the right audience. I am excited to keep working hard because I know I have what it takes to be successful, but I think I need guidance on how to reach the write audience, share my story, and close a sale. I look forward to this journey!
