STRENGTH™ in Motion (SiM 08-31-2026)
One pillar, One practice, and One week in motion
August 31st - September 6th
Welcome to our 08/31/2026 edition of STRENGTH™ in Motion, a weekly space where we will explore one STRENGTH™ pillar, one STRENGTH™ practice, share what is happening behind the scenes, & invite you into upcoming opportunities
One STRENGTH Pillar
Thrive: Live and lead with purpose
Thriving is about more than simply getting through each day, it’s about living with intention, recognizing our strengths, and creating a life that feels meaningful.
This pillar invites us to reflect on what gives us purpose, what brings us fulfillment, and how we can use our gifts to make an impact in our own lives and the lives of others.
To thrive is to give ourselves permission to step fully into who we are and who we are becoming. It means celebrating progress, embracing opportunities, and making choices that align with what matters most to us. When we lead with purpose and stay connected to the things that bring us meaning, we create space not just to succeed, but to truly flourish.
“Thriving is living with peace in your pace, joy in your presence, and purpose in your steps"
Stephanie Toney
Take a moment to reflect on what it means for you to thrive through three areas:
Purpose: What gives your life meaning and makes you feel connected to something bigger?
Strengths: What gifts, skills, or qualities help you show up as your best self?
Fulfillment: What people, places, or experiences make you feel most alive and fulfilled?
Choose one thing you can do this week that helps you live more fully and intentionally
Choose one area of your life where you want to thrive and give it intentional attention this week.
Do something that brings you joy, use one of your strengths, reconnect with something meaningful, celebrate an accomplishment, or take one step toward something that gives you a greater sense of purpose.
"A thriving life makes room for gratitude, connection, purpose and joy"
-Stephanie Toney
Behind the STRENGTH™
This week, we are choosing Thrive as we reflect on what it looks like to move beyond simply doing the work and create space to experience purpose, connection, and fulfillment along the way.
Thriving is showing up behind the scenes when we recognize the value in what we do, lean into our strengths, and allow ourselves to appreciate how far we’ve come.
We are creating space to celebrate wins, pour into one another, reconnect with what brings us joy, and remember the purpose behind the work we do. Thriving means finding meaning in where we are, recognizing what is working, and continuing to build lives, communities, and spaces where we can flourish together.
“Thriving grows when we intentionally create space to enjoy the life we are building”
