I feel like I’m constantly sharing this link with the folks I work with but if you are feeling a little stuck or even shut down this short yoga sequence is magic. The movements are very organic and fluid which I appreciate so much. Brett also does a great job gently inviting you into the feeling of moving in my opinion. I thought I would share because I’ve really needed this kind of permission to move freely lately. https://youtu.be/WajHoXJac_c

This week I presented an evidence based multi-tiered action plan to the @thegrovestl board of directors to address the prominent sexual assault issue that exists there. I am going to share more about the steps I presented but I wanted to take a second to thank @gregorydavisdesign for pulling this poster together for me last minute. https://gregorydavisdesign.com/ A fascinating study by prominent researcher Betsy Levy Paluck looked at behavior of students at fraternity partie...s found that when students were given affirmative messaging of enthusiastic consent upon arrival at parties there was a positive impact recorded with the the mindsets of students at the end of the night, despite alcohol consumption. One theory behind this is that the inebriated brain, while having lowered inhibitions may have a greater ability to focus on one simple concept that can impact behaviors. I had Greg create this poster so that it was easy for the bar owners to just print and display something with minimal effort standing in the way of utilizing this effective tool. Stay tuned for more information about the detailed steps presented and exciting funding opportunities that are in process to keep this moving forward.

I’ve been trying to figure out how to bring this up with my page this week. Those of you who have been following me since last May know I was drugged with the date rape drug the night I was out celebrating my graduation. This was not my first experience being drugged and I had lots to process through. I shared my story very publicly about a week after it happened, and so many people reached shared their experiences with me. The volume of people who shared their experiences i...n that bar and the bars surrounding it made it obvious that there was something very serious going on here. I did a very difficult-to-read literature review and came up with some practical steps these bars and the area leaders could take to try to address the issue. I reached out to get a face to face with the saftey board in the grove and you can read about that in the second image. Nothing ever came of this and I was brushed off UNTIL things very publicly blew up this week with the Grove. I am collecting stories from people who have experienced sexual assault in and around the grove and am being given the opportunity to present.

I need you to sign this TODAY so we can collect as many signatures as possible to convey the level of support this issue has from constituents. The deadline is just a few days away; Sunday 5/17/2020 at midnight. Sign, and share, please!!!! https://docs.google.com//1FAIpQLScSKIZaDFK1X_dpbb/viewform

You all, I’m blown away. This project has been in my brain for 3 years and it’s so close. Look how cool this is, it’s not branded but the technical components are working so smooth. Get excited. Let’s start to close the gap.

Did you know I have a research based pay-it-forward scholarship platform I’ve been building for 3 years? Well now you do AND that it is sooo close to being easily accessible for your wellness practice! Follow @communityscholarshipscblmt to stay in the loop. Get excited community scholarships is building out so more businesses can use it. I’ve also been busy learning about creating a non-profit and building that so that this can grow and help people all over the world. My vision is to close the gap on wellness and create avenues where those with resources can directly help those in need. I am so pumped about this!
