ALRIGHT YA'LL...IT'S TIME... I've been a part of my fair share of BS communities that you join and then they just fizzle out and die or become a bane to your email inbox. NOT HERE, FRIENDS! That's not why we joined. That's not what our body was telling us when we clicked that link. So, I'm super willing to incentivize engagement. Support, being seen, accountability--these were the reasons many of you said you wanted to be here. So, commit to giving yourself like 30 min/day. Post something, leave some comments/likes/come to the Q&As...whatever you do, become an active member of this community. The more active you are, the more you can get out of it. Now, if you're in high-level need for personalized support, we need to jump on a call and talk about getting into the cohort that starts June 1st: https://calendly.com/deliberatecreator/career-reinvention-conversation If that's not you, but you still want access to as many resources as you can get, I've attached a picture that helps to explain the point system and how to get to the next level and access more resources, including mini 1:1 sessions, work/guidebooks, and other resources. The "likes" are pretty standard--the more posts you make, the more engagements you can get. But just to keep it interesting, you can get more points/likes by making a post about your biggest take-aways from a Q&A session, sharing a screenshot of you sharing the link to our free community with at least 5 friends. And I'll probably think of other fun ways, because obviously, I want all of you to get up to the those higher levels as quickly as possible. Note: more interactive videos/links to be added to each level of the classroom as well! So let's get this party hoppin. Throughout the week next week I'll be posting a poll for feedback on the Q&A time, and other updates about added resources.

Hi everyone, I'm Lizzie! I am going back to school and redefining myself after a few interesting curve balls that life has thrown at me over the past 5-6 years. I've realized that life is too short to waste it in any capacity, let alone jobs that don't give me joy and fill my cup. I have been a teacher for the past decade utilizing my Bachelors in Special Education, and while I LOVE working with the children, I have had a lot of negative experiences working with the adults in the field. I'm going back to school for theatre to follow my passion of making my living as an artist. I have my own photography business (coming up on my 5 year anniversary!) and I am double majoring in Performance and Production and Design to supplement my years of experience as a thespian. My ideal career is having a thriving photography business to supplement my acting/directing career in a Metro area. I hope to act, direct children's theatre, and eventually teach theater/photography at a college. I am also on a huge healing journey as I have experienced a significant amount of trauma throughout my life, and I am a huge mental health advocate.

*BONUS ANNOUNCEMENT* I'm offering a free 20 min laser coaching session to anyone who: 1. Makes their intro post--let's get to know one another!! 2. Fills out the poll for Q & A times/group coaching feedback 3. Does at least TWO of our weekly engagement posts + comments/likes other member posts 🏅Send me a DM when you've completed these (Deadline=11:59pm CST on Thursday May 28th)🏅 Prompt: Share a moment this week where you felt most like yourself. I'll kick us off: Even though I have surgery coming up on Friday, I really didn't want to have to let go of my garden this summer. When I mentioned that to @Jason Toupence he made sure that didn't happen and I was so grateful. I am most myself when I'm out in nature with my hands and feet in the dirt. This is what brought me to the place of finding a career that allows me to make my own schedule. Doing these things causes me some pain right now, but it really pales in comparison to the joy it brings and, honestly, if you get stuck trying to figure out the direction you're trying to go...be intentional about finding those moments/activities that bring you immense amounts of joy, make you feel accomplished, or that just feel as easy as breathing. This is information. After years of being programmed to feel like sitting at a desk for 8 hours/day is "natural", it may take some work to dig up what your truth really is and that's ok. Lean into it. This is the work that will really bring about change. Alright...your turn...post your own Wednesday Win and tag someone in the community so we can witness you! Remember, those likes=levels=more access to resources!

Today’s challenge: say ONE thing in a more identity-aligned way than usual and report back. 🎊🏆Post wins afterward 🏆🎊 My commitment: gonna make a story content piece about my own raw mirror moment (so I get to do Mon and Tues together haha). Unapologetically telling the story from my perspective for a change!
