Terence has been very supportive in The Human Practice which is our member @Stacey Coley amazing community and now it is a great pleasure to welcome Terence to our community here. Where in the words of Stacey, where we do "community". We have had a theme running through the threads for the past couple of days about the "Ripple effect". Please feel comfortable Terence to give an introduction about yourself and feel free to share any of your social and business links in this thread and then answer our collective prompt below. If your life were a pond, what kind of ripple are you hoping to create right now — kindness, creativity, courage, or clarity?

A helpful tip to reset the stress in your day. What communities have you found that are helpful to your state of being. I just found a great exersise that has been very helpful. Check out the community - Pocket resets for Stress It is a free community at the moment. Sharing this pocket reset with permission from Pocket resets for Stress: The Borrowed Nervous System Reset The Borrowed Nervous System Reset is for anyone who is regularly regulating for someone else. Days when someone else’s nervous system is louder than your own. - Caregivers (of any kind) - Helpers Who Can’t “Clock Out” - Partners in Emotional Imbalance - Adults Who Grew Up Regulating Others - Leaders Holding Emotional Space - Anyone Living With High Ambient Stress Time: 90 seconds Where: Anywhere you can stand or sit Props: Your imagination Step 1: Name the Invisible Load Place one hand on your chest while thinking of the challenge and quietly say (or think): “This is not all mine.” Step 2: Borrow the Ground Now imagine the floor beneath you isn’t just a floor. It is an ancient, steady nervous system. Press your feet down gently and imagine sending 10% of the intensity you’re carrying downward. Breathe out through your mouth like you’re fogging a mirror. Step 3: De-Role Yourself (This Is the Special) Softly shrug your shoulders once and whisper: “Off duty for 60 seconds.” Imagine setting down: - the monitoring - the adjusting - the holding it together Let your arms hang heavy. Step 4: Remember Who You Were Before Today Touch something on your body that has nothing to do with your "role." (wrist, ankle, collarbone, anywhere neutral). Say silently: “I am more than this moment.” Stay here for three slow breaths.

💡 Nothing changes… until you flip the switch. It never ceases to amaze me. You can have a power source (in this case I am thinking of my business training and system), you can even have the entire house ready to light up. But if you never flip the switch…you stay in the dark. That’s exactly what it’s like when people want a new lifestyle, more time freedom, or a digital business that actually supports their family — but they never plug into the system that gives them power. The moment you flip the switch and connect to:⚡️ A proven system⚡️ Clear training⚡️ Supportive mentorship⚡️ A community that lifts you…everything lights up. Suddenly you can see where you need to go. You learn what to do and soon you feel the momentum of what you are creating. You are not building alone anymore. Sometimes the biggest transformation starts where you are at, and we just need to connect to the power source.

Today I met another bestie on this Skool platform. You know the meetings where you feel time slip away because your having so much fun. That kind of connection. Kat has given a couple of nugget communities to check out. This is what I found : PhatKat. A community for women who are designing their future body and Kat highly recommended Synthesizer by Andrew Kirby. Which I already am loving. What discoveries have you made on SKOOL?
