Hello everyone, and welcome to The Courageous Journey. My name is Paula and I am so excited that you are here. I just want to tell you that this is an off the cuff, not planned episode. You know, you complain as much as you want, but sometimes life just gives you what you need to talk about. And you have heard me talk. If you've been following me for any length of time about like, the power of one, and sometimes it's one person. Sometimes that's one conversation. And I know that this is going to not be a popular topic with some people, but I kind of want to just talk today about the power of one prayer. And that's because my, like, my life was so changed in inspired by a group of people yesterday that got up and put on their running clothes. And we're just going to do A5K up in Toledo, Ohio. And they just they inspired me so much. So I have been rebranding myself over the last, you know, a couple of weeks. I know my lane. I know with every inch of me like the direction that I want to go. You know, I've weaved in and out of like, do I do the brain injury thing? Do I do the domestic violence thing? Do I do in, in, you know, I found where I need to be. And the one piece that I was trying to figure out is I created in my on my professional quality Walter's page on Facebook, I have created two Facebook groups. One of them was for survivors. It's called the Courageous Survivor Community. And the other one is for the professionals who are working with survivors and victims of domestic violence, child abuse, you no human trafficking like that trauma type of stuff called the Courageous Professionals Network. And like, I wasn't exactly sure, like I knew what I wanted to do with it. I just didn't know how to kind of like frame that for people. And so I want to tell you about what I witnessed yesterday. So there I am, like working as a paramedic for this five K and this this running group as people finished in this, in this big running group at different stages throughout this five K, I started noticing like some of them were going back and they would go back with other people in the running group and come, you know, come with them. And then like they kept doing that and then like at the end, all of them, like a huge amount of them crossed the finish line, like went back for the person who was going to be the last one to cross the finish line and did that with them. Like, how amazing is that? That is absolutely. I like I wanted I was inspired so much that like, I, I want to do, I want to run with them, you know, so if you've been watching me for any length of time, you know, I did a half marathon and in that a marathon is on my bucket list. And like next year I'm going to try to do that in Toledo in September. And I really want to like I want to join them, but like, I just don't think that they know. And so here's what I'm going to talk about. Like, you never know when you get up, how you in the way that you live your life and who's watching and and the way that you may impact them. Like I, I took a picture of them. I asked the permission. I made a post about them on my page. Actually, I think I did too, but like there, now I'm a motivation board and they like watching. What they did made me. Realize how I wanted to structure my survivor group. And that was an answer to prayer. Like that. Prayer has been on my prayer list for months. And so like, it's it's just it's just truly amazing because they kept going back and they over and over and like, that was their community. And like, I saw people who were just like, just because I finished doesn't mean I'm done. Like that was amazing. They went back for those people. And so, you know, there we go. I talk and teach about these, you know, trauma and domestic violence and strangulation and brain injury and nervous system health and healing in my my mission has been to help people understand, you know, what's happening inside somebody when they've been through that. And like, I know what that work is supposed to look like, but what am I supposed to do with this community? And truly, they answered it because as I watched those runners, I realized, like, that's it. That's the community that I want inside my survivor's group. Not a place where you're standing in front as a person who is supposedly has, you know, kind of worked through your healing, how do you figure things out? No, not people comparing, like who is healed more. How did you do it? You know, not trying to get people to do it the same way you did, not competing over whose trauma was worse. But like, listen, this is what I wanted to look like. Someone who has learned how to establish boundaries can go back for someone who is struggling to set their first one, like someone who has learned to understand their trauma. Responses can walk beside someone who still thinks that something's wrong with them, someone who has found their voice can encourage someone who hasn't found theirs yet. Someone who has ...
