STRENGTH™ in Motion
One pillar, One practice, and One week in motion
July 20th-25th
Hello STRENGTH™ Community,
Welcome to our first edition of STRENGTH™ in Motion, a weekly space where we will explore one STRENGTH™ pillar, share what is happening behind the scenes and invite you into upcoming opportunities.
Each week, we will take one simple step together. There is nothing to perfect and nothing to prove. This is an invitation to pause, reflect and continue becoming stronger in ways that are healthy, meaningful and sustainable.
One STRENGTH Pillar
Surrender: Release what you were never meant to carry
Many of us have become so accustomed to carrying responsibilities, expectations and concerns that we rarely stop to question whether they still belong in our hands.
Surrender does not mean that we stop caring. It means we learn to distinguish between what we are responsible for and what we cannot control. When we release unnecessary weight, we create more room for clarity, peace and purposeful action.
One STRENGTH Practice
“Surrender creates space for deeper peace, renewed purpose and new beginnings.”
Stephanie Toney
Sometimes strength looks like continuing forward. Other times, strength looks like loosening our grip and making room for something healthier to emerge.
Take five quiet minutes this week and create two lists:
What is mine to carry
Write down the responsibilities, decisions, and actions that are within your influence
What I can release
Write down the outcomes, expectations, and circumstances that are outside your control
Choose one item from the second list and complete this sentence:
This week, I am releasing __________ so I can make room for __________.
One Week in Motion
Behind the STRENGTH™
There is so much happening as we bring the STRENGTH™ Framework to life.
This week, we are:
Creating a new STRENGTH™ section for our website
Developing a free STRENGTH™ Snapshot to help people identify the pillar that needs their attention
Building this weekly STRENGTH™ in Motion community
Continuing the development of the Sabbatical STRENGTH™ book and companion resources
We are excited to share this journey with you as the framework continues growing from an idea into practical tools that can strengthen lives, leaders and communities.
One Week Ago & In Upcoming Weeks
Post Sabbatical Spill the Tea Convo
Every season serves a purpose. Some seasons call us to lead, others to learn, and still others to rest and renew. A sabbatical can take many forms and vary in length, but its greatest value lies in creating intentional space to reflect on where you are and where you’re being called next. My own journey inspired the STRENGTH Framework, an invitation to embrace each season with purpose, resilience, and intention.
