Navigating Life's Challenges: Schone's Journey with MS In this heartfelt episode, we dive into the life of Schone, a biracial woman, single mother, and proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, who was diagnosed with MS in 2022. Schone's journey is a testament to resilience and adaptability. From managing her MS symptoms to navigating her various identities, Schone opens up about the complexities and strengths that define her. She discusses her daily life, the emotional challenges of caregiving, and how she maintains a positive outlook despite the obstacles she faces. Through candid conversations, Schone sheds light on the misconceptions and biases she encounters and shares her strategies for staying strong for herself and her daughter. This episode is a powerful reminder that while everyone's journey with MS is unique, the shared goal remains the same: to make MS a thing of the past. Join us for an inspiring and eye-opening discussion that amplifies the voices of those living with MS and the communities that support them. Together, let's work towards a world where MS is nothing but a part of history.

As our world is rapidly spinning out of control with wars, poverty, famine and diseases raging across major parts of our planet, I have come to the conclusion that it won't be statesmen or governments who will save humanity: it will be ordinary people who do extraordinary things. I want to share some of these stories over the coming weeks in the hope to spread a bit of positivity in a time where many have given up already. If you have never heard of Trudy Ederle you're not alone; neither have I until I came across her incredibly inspiring story in the movie "Young Woman and the Sea" that just released on Disney+: In a time where the phrase "It can’t be done" was often used to limit dreams, especially of women, Trudy became the first female to swim across the English Channel and proved that determination can conquer even the most formidable challenges. The 21 miles wide Channel, with its cold, choppy waters and unpredictable weather, was considered the ultimate test of endurance. Many before her had failed, and even died, but Trudy was undeterred. Her journey was not just about physical strength; it was a battle against the societal norms that dictated what women could and could not do. Trudy’s successful swim across the Channel in 1926 was more than just a personal victory - it was a statement to the world that women, too, had the strength, resilience, and tenacity to achieve the extraordinary and forever changed the world of sports. Upon her return to New York she received the biggest welcome parade for any athlete in history - man or woman - and this record holds until this day. Young Woman and the Sea is more than a movie; it’s a celebration of courage, grit, and the unyielding human spirit. Watching Trudy's story unfold reminds us all that barriers, whether physical or societal, are meant to be challenged and overcome. Watch the full movie on Disney+ and let me know what you think! #Motivation #Hope #Inspiration #Positivity #MovieTips #LetsMakeOurWorldABetterPlace

Empowering women in business is not just about professional success; it's also about nurturing personal well-being. As a dedicated mother, businesswoman, and advocate, I understand the importance of self-care. Today, let's celebrate the journey of balancing ambition with self-love. Remember, taking care of yourself is not selfish; it's essential for sustained success. 💪 #WomenInBusiness #SelfCare #Empowerment

EMPLOYERS! CAN YOUR STAFF OPT OUT OF PRIDE, IF IT'S NOT THEIR THING? For many, Pride month is a straightforward celebration. But for other employees, it is a deeply painful time of year. As Tanya de Grunwald mentioned in her excellent piece last week (link in comments), plenty of your lesbian, gay and bisexual staff will feel alienated by the focus on 'trans' and gender identity. Female employees with concerns about the impact of 'trans inclusion' on women's rights and children's safeguarding may also resent being asked to embrace this controversial aspect of Pride. And those from religious or cultural minorities may also have strong views, but feel uncomfortable speaking up. And there are two other groups of employees that you may not have considered: 1) Parents and families of people who have decided to or want to transition. The decision to take hormones and undergo surgery isn't minor and it can often cause rifts and difficulties in families, even if the family is supportive of somebody's desire to transition. For some this decision is devastating, not only because their loved one may be a minor, but more broadly because of the life-long consequences of hormonal and surgical interventions and the psychological impact of seeing the world through a 'trans' lens. Many parents and family members do not want to have to celebrate 'trans' because from where they stand, transition is not a cause for celebration. 2) Detransitioners and desisters: these are people who at some point in their lives saw themselves as 'trans' but no longer adhere to the ideas that go along with it. Detransitioners will have undergone hormonal and/or surgical interventions to modify their bodies. These interventions have life-long consequences. For these people, the ideas behind 'trans' and the physical and psychological pain that interventions have caused them are no cause for celebration. The last thing they want is a workplace that heavily encourages people to celebrate these ideas and interventions. Now that we've highlighted this, we urge you to consider creating ways for these employees to step out of Pride activities without attracting stigma. You'll find some ideas in this video with our founder Stella O'Malley, and therapist Sasha Ayad. If these groups raise questions or complaints, please handle them with care - this is sensitive stuff. And if you can't get it right this year, please be more thoughtful next year? Thank you. https://lnkd.in/ejakq-ep

🎉 On 11 July we celebrated our anniversary. A few years ago, a group of passionate and committed people came together with a common vision: to defend and promote human rights around the world. Since then, we have come a long way, facing challenges, overcoming obstacles and making progress that once seemed unattainable. 🌎💪 Over the years, we have witnessed stories of courage and resilience, we have stood up for the vulnerable and raised our voices against injustice. Every small triumph, every change in someone's life, has been a reminder of the power of solidarity and teamwork. 🙌✨ These achievements would not be possible without the tireless work of our team, the support of our donors and the collaboration of our partners. Each of you has played a crucial role in our mission, and for that, we are deeply grateful. 💖👏 However, this anniversary is also an opportunity to look to the future. The challenges we face have not gone away. In fact, in many cases, they have intensified. The struggle for human rights is more relevant and urgent than ever. We must continue to work with the same passion and dedication, innovating our strategies and expanding our reach to ensure that the rights of all people are respected and protected. ✊🌟 On behalf of the entire organisation, I would like to express my sincere thanks to each of you for your commitment and support. Together, we have shown that when we unite for a just cause, we can achieve real and lasting change. 💪 Let us move forward with courage and determination. 🚀🔥 #Anniversary #HumanRights #Solidarity #Justice #Courage #Resilience #TeamWork #PositiveChange #ThankYou #TogetherWeCan.

𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜 🧠 https://lnkd.in/gZ-yJ96j [New Video 12-8-23 - FFF - Fierce Feminine Fridays] The Inner Critic is a term we've all encountered, often dismissing it as our own self-critique. Yet, it's deeper than that. This critical voice typically echoes childhood experiences, shaped by our parents' judgments and expectations. It's the haunting voice of perceived failure, the echoes of parental disapproval, making us feel inadequate in comparison to their demands. This inner critic relentlessly undermines our aspirations until we invest in personal development, rewriting its narrative to fuel positive growth. The Inner Critic, often fueled by the ego, serves as a cautionary voice, warning of potential failure and disapproval. Like our parents, it aims to protect us, but here's the revelation: 𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐍𝐨𝐰! You wield the POWER to set the rules for your life, free from the need for protection against your own thoughts and dreams. You have the authority to challenge the inner critic, discerning when its cautions are valid and when they're self-sabotage. 💪 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬𝐟𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐡: 𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐈𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥! You possess the 𝐏𝐎𝐖𝐄𝐑 to shape your destiny, irrespective of past failures or ridicule. By understanding your desires and recognizing the inner critic's voice, you can silence it. Move boldly toward your goals, proving your competence and seizing your dreams despite the challenges you've faced in your past. 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞! 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐓𝐮𝐫𝐧!

𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐓𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭? https://lnkd.in/gGU3upq5 Who told you that you couldn't do the very thing that you really want to do with your life to pursue the very thing that ignites your passion? Who made you believe you lacked the ability, intelligence, or resources to chase your dreams? Too often, we find ourselves trapped in a life tailored to meet the expectations of others, leaving our aspirations behind in our youth. We become conditioned to seek validation and permission from external sources before daring to pursue our own ambitions. The discouraging voices in your mind stem from individuals who, despite good intentions, surrendered their own dreams after encountering failure. They caution you out of a misguided attempt to shield you from disappointment. But here's the truth: not a single person who has achieved their dreams did so without facing setbacks. They persevered, believing in themselves even when others doubted them. They understood that while the advice may have come from a place of concern, it also stemmed from fear of the unknown. Yet, they chose to push past the limitations imposed by others and forge ahead regardless. So, who told you that you couldn't or shouldn't pursue your dreams? If you harbor a vision for your life, it's because you're meant to bring it to fruition. Your dream serves as a beacon guiding you towards a fulfilling existence. It's time to silence those negative inner dialogues. The individuals who dispensed such advice relinquished their dreams due to fear of failure. But you understand that failure is merely a stepping stone on the path to success to do the very thing you were born to do. Dare to Be Fierce! Step out on your dream anyway! Cause I'm telling you that you can! 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞! 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐓𝐮𝐫𝐧! I help ambitious women create Fierce Impact through Empowered Purpose.
