Just wanted to say thank you.
I’m not really sleeping at the moment. Maybe I’m overstimulated?
This morning, I woke up and had that moment of telling myself to stop moaning.
There are people with much more on their plates than me.
That was my mindset for about three minutes.
Then I remembered I was meant to be at a full-day event. I just thought… I don’t have the energy for this. At all.
But this was my ONE networking event I’m doing in January.
I limit myself to protect my nervous system (I get drained easily in group settings).
If you could hear the arguments that go on in my head, you’d laugh.
The event started at 9. I turned up at 10.
But I’m so glad I went.
It was SUCH a good day, and I met so many lovely and inspiring ladies.
I won’t pretend it was easy - I had my head on my chair at about 2 pm because I was absolutely exhausted. Not bored. Just empty.
I stayed until the end, didn’t stay for a drink though. Came home. Slept for a few hours.
What surprised me was what happened just by showing up.
A few people came over to talk about AI training.
Two asked about custom bots.
When I got home, more people had connected, and I’ve now got three in-person coffees booked for next week.
It made me realise something.
I spend a lot of time on my own. On my laptop. Or caring.
And a real, face-to-face connection is something I know I need more of going forward.
So thank you to the MOVEment, what you created an delivered today was outstanding and exactly what I needed. I’ll be back next year🤍
