As we build and bake the value into this space together, I wanted to get a better sense from you all about what it is you are looking for. What are you mainly hoping to gain from being here?

🚨 We are LIIIIIIIVE! https://www.skool.com/live/vVrF7ttj9FY 🚨

I wanted to drop a video today to share with you a vision for the community and some of the core values here that I aspire for us to all have the safety to step into ... and to go first myself to honour you all. Those values are: ⛰️ Courage - to admit what we do and don't want, and to at some point take action 🤲 Vulnerability - to say these things aloud to help with our own momentum and get help 🌳 Growth - because this is what it's all about So in honour of not ever asking you guys to do something that I personally wouldn't do, I wanted to also share a little of my own story - the shame and guilt in particular - when I was at the crux and decision making of my allied health career. That shame and guilt kept me trapped and ended up with me making (questionable, in hindsight!) decisions in a vacuum, because I didn't have a space like this where I could really explore all the options without judgement. I wish I’d had a place like this back then — somewhere safe to say the hard things out loud, unpack what was actually working, what wasn’t, and explore the incredible options I didn’t realise I had. It's also a space where I want you to feel comfortable enough to dream into a better future - whatever that might mean for you! It could be more money, more fun, more impact, more meaning, more overseas trips, more cheese ... anything! 🧀 ✈️ All of these things are what I want this community to be for you. You don’t need permission to post, share, ask, or start threads. The more you join in, the more you’ll get from being here. And if you want to connect properly, I’ve set up a weekly Coffee Hour on Tuesdays at 4pm Brisbane time which you can see in the Calendar. I’m genuinely excited to get to know you. If you feel comfortable after reading/watching this, share in the comments your aspirations or what's keeping you stuck, and gently we can begin to figure out the pathway forward alongside each other.

Hi all, I hope you're having a brilliant Monday! Tomorrow we are having our first ever community coffee hour at 4pm Brisbane time - the link is in the Calendar. Hope to see you there!

I wanted to write another welcome post specifically for everyone who has come in overnight because woweeeee I didn't expect that Tiktok to pop off as much as it did! So a super warm welcome to @Nutrition Barbie, @Amelia Lowe, @Kate Chalker, @Sophie Thomson, @Zoyah Bhanotha, @Kylee Henson, @Naomi Watson, @Madeline Rose, @Natalie Miller, @Kylee Gurney, @Nghi Pham, @Ellie Weber, @Caitlin Donohoe, @Elesa V And if you're tagged here there was something in the question of "Are you excited to wake up in the morning as an Allied Health Professional?" that brought something up for you. It might be a "no I'm not". It might be a "sometimes". But regardless I want to recognise the courage and bravery it takes to think along these lines and admit out loud that you do want more, and you deserve to want more! So I take my hat off to you, and thank you for being in this space. The way you will get the most out of it is by continuing with that openness and courage to speak the things aloud that you are either running from or running towards. I should also probably introduce myself and let you know why I'm so incredibly passionate about this topic: - I graduated physio in 2010, and felt things going downhill after a couple of years - 5 years out, it got too much to bear and something shifted in me that said "this cannot be all there is to life?!" - admitting that I wasn't completely fulfilled in my career was one of the most powerful and impactful moments of my entire life, because it lead to opening up to all these other opportunites - I cycled 3000km solo across Europe and took a sabbatical, I started a new business, I rowed 4500km across the Pacific Ocean and set two guinness world records, went on to coach hundreds of people in mindset and also teach Entrepreneurship at QUT in Brisbane - So this matters to me because I don't want anyone else to have to go through what I went through, the pain and loneliness of feeling like I had to leave a "good" career (in hindsight I don't actually think I did have to leave, to be clear!) and to bring a group of people together who are actively moving towards and wanting more.
