I love this post so much, it really stands out as a testament to your character and also to what we can do, as humans, to help other humans (which, of course, then helps us too). I have been very much inspired by all you do here, it makes me ridiculously happy that our paths crossed. Knowing you are here is a powerful mental aid, too, reminding me that all of this (*waves around a little*) is so very worth doing. Thank you.

Let’s start to make that plan … I’ll get my abacus out and calculate some time zones! We’ll make that happen, Monique.

Ahhh this is such a great celebration of the impact encouragement can have. I love how you hold space for others while still finding room for your own joy and growth. The Encouragement Sessions sound brilliant, and I love the reminder that it’s a superpower we all share! Thanks for being so awesome 🙌
