I know I said I wasn't going to post for 10 days... But this just seems really important. Check out the loom video for context. https://www.skool.com/with-word-wonder-3284/about?ref=e832b76be971422e82f60230d6667ca4 Drop an emoji below if you're in... as we celebrate Shelina stepping out as an entrepreneur!

I pushed on the process (see Loom) And I opened the Big Brain Club [Pro] for a 3 Day Window... Check it out ... https://www.skool.com/thebigbrainclubpro/about?ref=e832b76be971422e82f60230d6667ca4

This is my first post on this community and on skool. And as Joe advised and nudged us all, here is what's on my mind right now: Origin (Current State, “The Valley”): I’m in a sacred pause. After years of leading billion-dollar MedTech businesses and proving myself in rooms that didn’t always see me, I found myself laid off. Laid off after: - recently being promoted in role because executives knew I am VP/vice president-ready, aka "made for more" as they called it. - After I had been going through a bitter divorce - After I moved out of the home I had previously built with my husband and girls - After I bought a new house and incurred a huge mortgage, which was because my leaders promised me a tenure and career on this executive fast-track role I was promoted to. It was a gut punch. It rattled my sense of stability, safety, security, my identity, and the rhythms I was used to. But it also gave me space to breathe, reflect, and ask the question I hadn’t given myself enough time to ask: What do I truly want now? These days, I’m using this pause to realign. I’m advising startup founders and CEOs, mentoring women and people of color, and helping founders and teams build with conscience, clarity, courage, and care. I’m making sure equity, belonging and purpose aren’t just buzzwords but part of how we build; we actually deliver healthcare that actually reaches people who need it the most. It’s not always comfortable, but it feels honest. And I trust that this space is preparing me for what’s next. Desired Future State (Hilltop View): What does the hilltop view look like? It looks like stepping into a role or continuing to grow my consulting and coaching practice in a way that feels right in my mind, heart, and gut. It looks like leading growth at a mission-driven company that truly cares about patients and clinicians, building solutions that reach everyone, not just those with the best insurance or zip code. Or it looks like working with a steady stream of aligned clients who are ready to grow with purpose, strategy, and accountability.

I'd love to hear some of your best practices... and worst practices too (in the pursuit of getting better)
