A light drizzle isn’t going to keep me from getting my hours in for @TeamCheerfulness and Mental Health awareness. Sometimes, when everything is grey like today it can feel like we are rowing our boat in circles instead of a straight forward path to our destination. This can also be a metaphor for hard days in life or in business. When you find yourself rowing in circles, just know that as long as you’re getting your work in you are still heading to your destination, some days just become harder to get there than others. Reminder, we are still accepting donations for our Team Cheerfulness Campaign. You can donate as little as £2 towards Team Cheerfulness by clicking the link in the comments below & stay tuned for more updates while we are out on the water training! #TeamCheerfulness #KeepRowing #MentalHealthAwareness @WorldsToughestRow

We were perfect for each other. Or so I thought. His love for children, our incredible chemistry, he seemed to know how I was thinking, what I liked, he made me feel like I had “come home.” I had no idea that this was his usual MO, like a game, for him to figure out what he could get from me and how he could get it. #cptsd #cptsdfoundation #cptsdchat #mentalhealth #becauseweareworthit #healing #time #nonprofit #mentalhealth #follow #share #blog #guestblogger #storiesfromlife #healing https://lnkd.in/gRPfuzbe

Being well rounded : What that means to me is family, health, friends, and most importantly enjoying what you do. This week I was voted MVP at McKee Homes, collected high producing awards at the Coast, ran a 1/2 marathon to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association, spent the week with my family in Maine, and came home to tell my friends about it over expresso martinis and s’mores. Life is about balance. It’s about self care. It’s about treating people well and doing good things. #mckeehomesnc #womaninbusiness #areasalesmanager #leadershipdevelopment #worklifebalance

This is a post about one of my favourite humans and one of my favourite organizations… 5 years ago, Joe Lyons-Rising and I, (who met at NielsenIQ, working in the PIT, (if you know, you know), 21 years ago), had lunch and talked about how we can play more of a role in giving back. Joe Lyons-Rising is now the Founder of Data Gives Back Inc., a social enterprise that helps companies drive financial and employee success through data training and consulting services. BUT Joe Lyons-Rising is not your typical entrepreneur, he donates TWENTY FIVE PERCENT of his revenue to, (and here comes one of my fav organizations), the Seasons Centre for Grieving Children. An organization that helps youth & teens through the grieving process, (many of whom have lost parents to the unimaginable.) I have to give a shout out to Joe’s incredible wife and Partner/VP at Data Gives Back Inc., Carly Lyons-Rising. Donating consistently in these amounts as an entrepreneur, is surely a family decision. Joe and I are ‘grief buddies’ - we both became suicide loss survivors as kids. The Seasons Centre for Grieving Children saved me at 16, and we are now Executive Grief Ambassadors for them. Full circle moment… This entire post to say: 1. SUPPORT JOE AND Data Gives Back Inc. - they've worked with over 30 companies, so get on board already! 2. The Seasons Centre for Grieving Children's annual gala is coming up, if you/your company can sponsor the gala, (starting at $500), or donate any auction items that would be fantastic. Please reach out to Hailey Pride or myself. The Seasons Centre for Grieving Children was founded by Rowley Ramey, who lost his daughters, Samantha and Jessica in a car accident, in 1995. They now help thousands of children through the grieving process. #mentalhealth #givingback #datagivesback #wellness
