“When we loosen our grip on the way we think our life is supposed to look, we discover a life filled with possibilities.” – Janine Shepherd AM

We’re delighted to share a beautiful offering with the Quest community from long-time colleague of Petrea and cherished friend of Quest, Janine Shepherd AM. ✨

Many in our community will remember Janine speaking about the “in-between spaces” — those moments when the unexpected, the unthinkable or the unimaginable reshapes everything. The space where what was no longer fits… and what’s next has not yet fully revealed itself.

Janine knows this space intimately.

As an Australian cross-country skier training for the Olympics, her life changed in an instant when she was hit by a truck during a training ride. Critically injured, she survived against all odds. 🙏

What followed was an extraordinary reinvention — from elite athlete to acclaimed author and aerobatics pilot.

Janine Shepherd Author | Motivational Speaker is now offering a free seven-part audio series, “A Quiet Companion: Living in the In-Between,” created for anyone navigating life’s threshold moments — when certainty dissolves and possibility is still forming.

If you are moving through change, loss, uncertainty or transition, this gentle series may offer comfort, reflection and perspective 🌿

You can access the free audio series here:

Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day... 💛 a beautiful reminder that even the smallest gesture can make a big difference in someone’s life.

Whether it’s a smile to a stranger, a kind word to a colleague, a message to someone who might be struggling, or simply taking a moment to pause and breathe kindness into your own heart – every act matters.

Kindness is contagious. It ripples out in ways we often never see. And in times of challenge, it's often the unexpected kindness that touches us most deeply. 💞

What’s one small act of kindness you can offer today?

While Valentines Day often celebrates romantic love, it's also a beautiful reminder that the most enduring relationship we’ll ever have is with ourselves—and with life itself. 💕

Whether or not you share this day with a significant other, you can still cultivate a deep love for your own life by showing up as your best, most authentic self.

When we live with intention, embrace our challenges with courage, and reconnect with what brings us meaning, we create a life worth falling in love with.

💗 With Valentine’s Day here, we thought it was the perfect time to revisit this beautiful blog from Petrea, exploring the biochemistry of love—and what it means to live with a heart open to life - read here: https://bit.ly/3Mypfe8
