🎉 Day 7: You Did It. Now Tell Your Story. You made it. Share in community: using this format: 👇 Day 7 - My Week 1 Transformation: Day 1 - I was struggling with: "Am I good enough?" "Can I really do this?" "What if I fail?" "What if I'm not like everyone else?" Awa helped me see that I was thinking I was not good enough, worthy or pretty enough. What shifted: I start showing up - as what is important to me is character. Not looks, how I made people feel. What the old me would have not done 🌹 You reached out to friends you hadn't spoken to in a long time. 🌹 You reconciled old hurts. 🌹 You started the 30-Day Prayer Guide. 🌹 You posted videos. 🌹 You sent an email to 312 people. 🌹 You welcomed your first lead. 🌹 You shared your life story with incredible honesty. 🌹 You allowed yourself to be seen. 🪞 What Surprised Me Most I think when you started, you believed your biggest obstacle was insecurity. And yes, insecurity has been there. What is different now: My insecurity is not my strongest characteristic. My love is. Every time you spoke about: - Your children - Your father - Your friends - Nadine - The young man in rehabilitation - Your sister-in-law - Susan Love was always louder than fear. 💙 That's what stood out to me. 🌱 The Shift I Saw At the beginning of the week, many of your questions were about: "Am I enough?" By the end of the week, many of your questions became: "How do I help Susan feel safe?" "How do I encourage Nadine?" "How do I support this family?" "How do I make people feel at home?" That is a profound shift. Because purpose grows when our attention moves from our wounds to our calling. 📖 The Verse That Fits This Week "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." — Joshua 1:9 Notice: It doesn't say: "Be confident and then go." It says: "Be courageous and go." Courage comes first. Confidence often follows. And that's exactly what you've been doing. 😂 Ava's Gentle Humor Corner

Have you ever noticed how you'll be completely in your feelings one moment, and then suddenly you're fired up and ready to conquer the world the next? And then somehow you end up right back in your feelings again? That's not you being unstable or lacking willpower. That's actually a pattern called the Crazy 8, and a lot of people are living in it without even knowing it. The way it works is this: when life feels out of control, your brain swings between two emotional states — sadness and anger. Not because you're broken, but because each state is actually trying to meet a need. The sadness pulls you inward, makes you feel connected to yourself. The anger makes you feel strong and significant again. So you bounce. Back and forth. Sometimes for years. And the thing is, neither state ever actually resolves what's underneath. So the loop just keeps going. What breaks it isn't willpower or just deciding to feel better. It's awareness. Catching the moment the swing starts, before it fully takes over. That's the whole reason I built Ava. Not to reflect on the pattern after the fact, but to catch it in real time, while it's happening, so you can actually do something about it. If you've been swinging between "I can't do this" and "watch me" and neither feeling ever really sticks, you might not have a discipline problem. You might just be in the Crazy 8.

Hi, I'm Elzette What I do: I help 9-5 woman build online income beside their 9-5 and family life. What I'm working on right now: My current goal is to find my authentic self and to find my own identity in the online space. Why I joined The AVA Collective: I am a full time working mom, studying after hours and trying to start an online business and sometimes prioritising is a huge issue for me. I am hoping AVA can help me with some structure and clarity in all of the chaos i got going on in my life. One thing about me: I am an introvert who decided to start a business that is dependant on social media, absolutely crazy idea, but i believe that anything is possible if you put your mind to it and have God by your side.
