#261: I Had to Go First

#261: I Had to Go First In this "Monday mindset'' episode, I am reflecting and sharing my thoughts from writing my upcoming chapter in the Great Canadian Women series, She Moves Mountains. This was a very emotional journey and vulnerable as I dove into my life over the past 15 months and what I have had to overcome to make it to this point in my entrepreneurial journey. I am being real and raw on this episode in the hopes of inspiring you and sparking you to see that you have to choose to go first in your life too. In today's episode we discuss:1) How many times in our lives we have to go first, we have to step forward with no guarantee of what lies ahead for us. We do this because we know that we don't want to stay where we are and we don't want to go backward in our lives. 2) What this past year of the pandemic looked like for us, and how important it is to continue to practice empathy, patience, compassion and kindness with ourselves because everything we do or create in our life, comes from us first. It all stems from the relationship and belief that we have within ourselves. 3) I share the experience of back surgery, my rehabilitation process and how I had to learn how to put my needs, energy, health and wellness first. This was an exercise in trust, empathy and compassion like no other.
