We often seek something that’s going to make us feel 100% better when we are not feeling good, physically or mentally. We are often looking for a fix, something to heal us completely and quickly. But sometimes, and more often than not, healing takes time. When you break a bone, they will give you medication and advise you to rest. …
It felt a little rusty to give a speech last week. I have given speeches here and there during COVID, but none consistently as I had been doing pre-COVID. I was a bit nervous and took a lot of time to prepare and make sure I was ready to go and knew what to say. After the presentation was over, …
I can’t believe that this month I am celebrating 2 years since I started this journey of sharing my story and a whole year since I left my full-time job to pursue my speaking career.
