The Cycle of Grief & Acceptance

Ramita is one of my closest friends and honestly one of the most kindest human beings I have ever met. She has led a life of perseverance starting with losing her mom at the age of 13 and having a beautiful son with learning difficulties. Her story of intent is a powerful one as she candidly shares how her earlier life experiences and Indian culture influenced the perception of who she was and the type of life she was supposed to lead. After an unexpected incident where she realized she needed professional support, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery leading her to confidently be vulnerable and resulting in a new found “destination” to a life filled with joy. This is Ramita’s story of intent connected to the cycle of grief and acceptance.

Discovering Purpose

Jessica O’Dowd is a change leader, design thinking and purpose purveyor. Her story of intent includes beautiful analogies of how she is discovering her life purpose by visioning what she wants her life to look like in the next 10 and 20 years. Jessica skillfully articulates concepts such as strength being “what lights you up”, finding your personal life values, and having the courage to explore. As a mom, she wants to ensure that when she leaves her “little human” to head to work, that meaningful impact is created for both her and those within her community. This is Jessica’s story of intent on discovering purpose. Jess was kind enough to provide her thoughts on purpose given our current climate.

Redesigning My Life

This first episode means a lot to me because it's with one of my closest friends. It took courage for Lara to share such a personal story of pain and triumph. I am grateful to her for trusting me to share her story.Lara is mom, HR Consultant, and a self-described "control-freak.” She candidly shares an inspiring story of intent, where she had to draw inner-strength to perseverance through her divorce. She speaks to how hard it was to let go of perfection and ask for help. Balancing self-care while doing the best for your children is not easy, especially when the “life you built” no longer exists. This heartfelt story is shared by Lara, who feels that by hearing it, perhaps others going through similar circumstances, can have "a candle of hope lit in them.”

Podcast Introduction - Intentification™

I'm very excited to be sharing a podcast with you dedicated to human connections! Each episode will feature a cool human being sharing their story of intent. I've become fascinated with intent, so much so that I've been working with a construct called Intentification™. The idea is that in order to have meaningful impact on ourselves and others we need to identify our intentions, digging deep to know where they come from and what influences them. When we do that, the strategies we create and execute will be that much more focused and aligned.I believe at the end of the day "we are all searching for the same thing ... to have happy and fulfilling lives". To share your story of intent, please connect with me!
