Loving the Work That Lights Me Up
I’ve always chosen to enjoy what I do—not out of selfishness, but out of necessity.
It’s part of my neurodiversity. I simply can’t complete tasks that don’t engage me. No amount of medication can keep me awake through repetitive, unstimulating work. I’ll literally fall asleep doing it.
But today, I find myself fully awake—alive, actually—because I’m building something that means the world to me.
I’m growing my own company, and I’m pouring my heart into it. And I love what I’m doing.
Every time I talk about We – Community With Purpose, I get emotional. It’s the embodiment of everything I’ve learned—not just in my career, but in life. It’s not a business plan; it’s a mission built from resilience, adventure, and compassion.
We - Community With Purpose is an exercise in caring:
Caring for the people who are adventurous, curious, and energetic—like me—who’ve spent years trying to contain who they really are
Caring for those who need a little spark of light when everything feels a bit too dark
Caring for the people who long to feel connected to nature and to themselves again
And for anyone who just wants to feel a little more confident about reaching their goals
💭 And Then the Doubt Creeps In…
Today, a thought hit me:
What if nobody likes this? What if I don’t meet my own goals?
And then I remembered something I used to say to everyone I mentored in my career:
“Just do your best. That’s all you can do. And that’s always enough.”
I’m giving this everything I have. I’m building my small but mighty company with care, strategy, and soul. And it will grow—because I have the resilience to see it through. I’ve never seen anything fail to progress when the vision is clear and there’s consistency in the effort.
