Let's give a warm welcome to @Sheylyn Maertz and @Helena Zebian . I’m really glad you’re here. This community is a work in progress, and that’s part of the magic. We’re building it together, with more conversations, resources, and support coming soon. For now, feel free to jump in and say hello,check out the Start Here section in the classroom. Tell us: where you’re joining from what you’re working on right now or what made you decide to join No pressure to be polished. Curiosity and honesty are more than enough here. Make yourself comfortable — and welcome to The Content Shift. 💛

Doing right by people includes doing right by yourself “Do the right thing” gets talked about a lot in leadership and business. Most of the time, people mean “do right by others.” That matters. Honor your word. Own your mistakes. Treat people with dignity, even when you disagree. Yet there is a piece that rarely gets named: Doing right by people is incomplete if it requires you to do wrong by yourself. If “doing right” means abandoning your own boundaries, absorbing disrespect, or paying the full price with your health, values, or peace, that is not integrity. That is self‑betrayal dressed up as virtue. Real integrity holds both: • I will make things fair where I can. • I will not sacrifice my safety, sanity, or values to keep someone else comfortable. Sometimes the most honest thing you can do is to treat yourself as “people,” too. To ask, “What is the right thing for everyone involved—including me?” Because when you stop writing yourself out of that equation, your decisions may not please everyone, yet they will come from a place you can live with for a long time

Pausing will expose the story they already have about you Pausing to stay grounded is not avoidance. It is leadership. It is respect. It is kindness. You pause so you do not react from emotion. You pause so you can choose words that line up with your values. You pause so you can see the whole picture, not just your trigger. You pause so you can do right by everyone, including yourself. That same pause will often expose the story people already carry about you. Some will think: “She is thoughtful.” “He is taking this seriously.” “They are giving this the care it deserves.” Others will think: “They are ignoring me.” “They do not care.” “I have to push harder or I will be walked over.” Your pause did not create their story. It revealed it. You are not responsible for rewriting someone else’s inner narrative about who you are. You are responsible for staying in integrity with your own. Keep pausing. Keep being kind. Keep being respectful. The people who are meant to build with you will recognize it as respect, not disrespect.

Over the years @Stacey Watts has been that voice to remind me I'm more than trends, fads or my posts. Thank you- seriously ❤️💕 One her most used phrases I was reminded of is your best content is in conversations. Not only your good ones, fun ones, or lighthearted ones. The trying ones, the ones that make you cry, ones Thad make you sad, or even question is this all worth it? Today, used one of those hard conversations to create content. No I didn't bash anyone, no I didn't blame anyone, I simply shared the reflection of the truth that came to me.
