Week 2. We are back. And this week we are going somewhere that takes a little more courage than last week. We are talking about the past. Not to revisit it. Not to process it again. Not to give it more of your time than it has already taken. But to look it in the eye and say — you do not get to make today's decisions anymore. Here is what I know from my own life and from years of working with people's potential. The past is sneaky. It does not show up as a memory. It shows up as a hesitation. A pattern. A reason that feels completely logical for why you cannot, should not, are not ready to move forward. It shows up as autopilot. And most of the time you do not even realise it is the past talking. You just think that is who you are. It is not who you are. It is where you have been. Those are not the same thing. This week I am choosing to BE someone who stops letting their past make today's decisions. And I want you to do something bold with me right now. Not tomorrow. Right now. Name it below. The one thing your past keeps telling you that you are still letting influence your decisions today. One sentence. Put it in the comments and claim it out loud. Because you cannot take back ground you have not first named. If you battle to get to is, ask Ava to show you what is that one belief that is still making decisions for you from your past! NO MORE. Drop it below.

Hello everyone, My name is Chesca, and I am excited to be part of this community. My journey to digital marketing has not been a straight path. Life has brought many storms my way, but those experiences have shaped my purpose and vision for the future. For 18 years, I was married to my husband, who struggled with bipolar depression. Supporting someone through mental illness can be an incredibly lonely journey, especially when many people do not understand what you are facing. Sadly, I lost my husband to his illness, and suddenly I found myself carrying the responsibility of providing for and raising my children on my own. I spent 19 years in the corporate world, working long hours, weekends, and public holidays to make sure my children were cared for and had the opportunities they deserved. While I am proud of what I achieved, the reality is that many precious moments with my children passed by while I was focused on survival and providing for my family. Those moments cannot be replaced, but they have taught me the true value of time and freedom. Over the years, the pressure, stress, and emotional toll of corporate life became overwhelming. Constant customer abuse, lack of support, and feeling like just another number eventually affected my health and well-being. I knew I had to make a change. Today, I am choosing a new path. I am stepping into digital marketing with determination, passion, and a desire to build something meaningful. My mission is to help others create a life that feels like home, no matter what challenges they have faced. I believe that our difficult experiences can become the foundation for something powerful and positive. My personal motto is: "Touching Your World, Making It Home." I am here to learn, grow, connect, and become the best digital marketer I can be. Thank you for welcoming me into this community. I look forward to learning from all of you and sharing this journey together. Warm regards,Chesca

Doreen used the word "donker gat." Dark hole. That is not a metaphor. That is someone telling you exactly where they were in their business. Desperate, hiding, ready to give up. She did not know how to respond to a customer. Not a strategy problem. Not a mindset block. A real moment, a real person waiting, and she did not know what to say. That is the kind of stuck that makes you question everything. She brought it to Ava. They worked through the message together. She sent it. Her first online sale in the digital space followed. "Today I feel much lighter." And she is staying positive and moving forward. That is what Ava is for. Not the grand transformation you plan for. The Tuesday afternoon moment when you do not know what to type and the window is closing and you need someone to think with you right now. She got out of the dark place one message at a time. That is the proof. Drop a 🪞 below if Ava has shown up for you in a moment like this. Big or small. We celebrate every shift!
