Origin: Building a biz that truly aligns with my passion and purpose, to enable others to walk freely in theirs regardless of what the world or anyone else thinks 😉 I’m not new to entrepreneurship, but started this new adventure last year, intentionally slow to build the culture of my spaces so we get a slow burn that stands the test of time in lieu of a fast flame that fizzles out. Desired Future State: Filling my schedule to work with peeps that are all in to build their own legacy, one that feels authentic to them and fulfills their dreams and aspirations beyond their wildest imagination. As a byproduct the funds that come from that will go towards building tiny houses for my crazies as they reach adulthood and fund their entrepreneurial goals, freedom to travel, and funding other amazing humans that are world changers to support what shifts are coming! Why: This fuels my soul like none other, lights a fire in me to see others pursuing their dreams and breaking free from the boxes society has convinced them is what life is 😉 I also enjoy fun things, experiences and freedom that this sort of endeavor brings forth. Fears: I don’t have any… it’s been many years of inner work and growth to bring me to this point. Realizing that everything happens just as it’s supposed to when it’s supposed to. There is no such thing as failure, everything is a learning experience… yes some aren’t fun to walk through, but if we lean in and glean while we keep moving forward then it can’t be a failure regardless right?! Those icky bits are what push our growth edges to make room for what is yet to come, it’s what helps us choose differently, not stay stuck in what we have been doing and require our brain to be able to move differently. We can’t reach the goals and dreams if we keep doing the same we always have, we have to choose to lean in to the change, the scary parts, pause and get curious within, because we are masters of our destiny and getting out of victim mindset and into radical responsibility is the key.

Origin: My husband and I married in 2010 and lived in Northern California. We worked with at-risk youth in the mental health field where we were trained in Nonviolent Crisis Intervention. We moved to Ohio in 2013 and I worked with individuals with developmental disabilities before landing in the nonprofit world working with children and families in Cincinnati, Oh. During that time I obtained my Bachelor's of Science from Cincinnati Christian University. I had aspirations to get my MSW to continue helping my community. I was a creative - an aspiring writer - with an intense love for helping people. We became parents in 2016 and I left my place of employment to stay home with my daughter. From 2016 on, I have been a stay at home parent for my own children, and for a few years - foster children too. We now have 4 beautiful daughters that I homeschool, ranging from 3 to 9 years of age. I became trained in Trust-Based Relationship Intervention, and did a deep dive into various parenting books and communities to help better understand the brains of my children and how to best support their growth through childhood. Over the years I have done some content creating both personally and for local businesses. I now clean airbnbs - though the dream is to own a few really cool ones one day. My husband is a Fire Lt. and owns a pressure washing business. We are tired of the rat race. A year ago we moved an hour away from the amazing community we’d spent over a decade building. The last year has been very difficult - from navigating financial difficulty to physical and mental health struggles. My home feels like it has fallen apart - clutter everywhere, inconsistent homeschooling routines - just mess and chaos. Desired Future State: A stable home I desire to live in with systems in place to help me live the life I want to live. Financial freedom - Debt free, travel, and plenty of quality time together as a family. Opportunities to help struggling families walk through times of crisis while providing hope and clarity for their futures. Obtain my MSW without going into crippling debt. Write as a creative outlet.

Origin: Originally from Ireland, been living in Canada just over 16 years. I've led a colourful life so far, worked in private banking in London in my 20's, experienced great success, had money, owned properties, and lost it all in the recession circa 2008/09 and kinda haven't found my way since. I have however found a good deal of success in my sport as a professional rider, I've made it all the way to Grand Prix and have more good things to come. The journey however has rendered me broke, so on the business side of things I'm looking for a win. I got my real estate license last year but the market is terrible at the moment, especially since I'm new to it here in Canada (I spent a few years doing it in the UK when I lived there). So here I am on Skool looking to make my mark. My first community is for the mental preparation side of riding and competing, it doesn't have a huge audience but I knew going in that it wasn't going to be big, more of a tool for my students that I coach and then for anyone else who would like to get involved. My next skool pursuit is in the self help category and is designed to help people stay accountable to their goals. I truly believe that this could be very valuable to a lot of people and it would really make me happy to help people get closer to their dreams, the financial reward of this would be a close second. Desired Future State: Right now, and the reason that I'm here is to build this newer community of mine into something great that really helps ambitious people get to where they want to be, the financial reward of this would be nice, I have the figure of 5k per month in mind by the end of the year. Why: Reason number 1: autonomy, live the way I want, all the while still pursuing my dreams. Lift the financial weight that I have right now. I have a son who is an exceptional human (people tell me all the time how kind he is) , and I have a literal 1 in a million Fiance, they both deserve the very best version of me. Fears: I'm afraid that I have the means to attain my dreams but not the direction, one of my biggest fears is that I spend time doing the wrong things, time is finite and our most precious resource.

Origin: Left a comfy job in nonprofit to join a growing construction company. I have come to realize its not what I want to do with my life and it's been exceptionally hard on my family with uncertainty for the past two years. Desired Future State: I want to create some type of platform teaching basketball in some capacity. I'm interesting in two routes and both may be able to coexist. But one is developing training routines for different kinds of players. And the other is creating different kinds of playbooks for coaches to use for their teams. Why: Basketball and sports in general is what I'm passionate about in life. And I love the aspect of helping people grow in it and all the lessons it teaches along the way. It doesn't feel like work. Fears: A crippling belief that nothing I have to offer is of value.

Use any app you want to track your distance... I use "Map My Run". Comment below your Date and Distance [mi or km OK] and a selfie/cool nature pic. I'll build a spreadsheet to track the communities progress. Let's see how far we can walk as a community in June. If you walk over 30 Miles I'll laser cut a big brain of your choice and mail it to you. If you have a spouse sitting on the couch invite them to the challenge too... then you can win two Big Brains. Big Brain Ideas come from Big Brain Health Are you in?
