Dreams do come true.

This year has had many, "I said I was going to do this, and now it's happening" moments and I'm truly grateful.

When I got the email that I would be pitching MINDLIFT @_tedxakure I was so happy about the opportunity, and anxious because it was bigger than anything I had done.

The best part of this journey has been watching my friends literally do the most. Like, how did I get so lucky with the people in my life?

@_tedxakure was truly an experience! 

The speakers were brilliant, I left the event with my notes filled, my energy high from seeing what was possible, and my mind ready to scale for impact.

The people were warm, and the room remained lively with incredible hosts and talented performers (spoken artists and musicians). 

I also want to commend the organisers, the designers specifically because the branding was exquisite, the volunteers and everyone that contributed to making the event a success.

I left the room better than I entered it.

I’m grateful that I get to experience moments like this with these incredible people. ✨✨ by @iamtoryaa

First hand, I've seen one of my classmates pitch and to the members of our class and they linked her up to a work gig!

I've seen someone also get a business grant for pitching her idea too.

I partnered with @iamtoryaa , a brand strategist and we are here to make sure you pitch your brand at these 6 places, are there ones we didn't talk about?

Let's talk about it in the comments section

what's the greatest lesson a woman should learn?

that since day one. She's already had everything she needs within herself. it's the world that convinced her she did not.

"Putting yourself out there is not really about you anymore, it's about what can happen because you did" — Favour Ogazi

That's why, when I saw the flyer for the Medite Financial Summit (MFS 2.0), I decided that come what may, I would attend and pitch my business idea.

I’ve carried this idea for a while now. I had worked on it in bits... thought it through, written a business proposal, and had several conversations with friends just to understand what it could mean from different lenses. But nothing had fully taken shape yet.

Mental health has been my business for over 5 years now and I'm really just always thinking about it — what could be better, what could change and that's really how MINDLIFT happened.

Yesterday was my opportunity to talk about it in front of potential investors. More than anything, I wanted validation, to know that the idea made sense, that it mattered. 

I’m happy to say that I went for it. And I came 2nd.
Can you imagine that? 😉😁

Isn't God gooddd?? 😌

Special shout out to my friends @mide_not_mid_ and  @praiseola_ for helping me through it all 🫶✨ by @iamtoryaa

Sometimes, life feels heavy. The noise in your head gets too loud, and the world feels distant.
If that’s where you are, here are five small things to do when your mind feels unwell. Gentle reminders that you’re not alone, and healing is possible. 🤍

Life is not always rosy. You will face disappointments, setbacks and struggles that feel overwhelming. But it's important to know that you are not alone. Almost everyone you know has these bad experiences too.

What you must do, is seek help. Speak to someone about your struggles. Don't bottle up your feelings. Don't suffer in silence.

Therapy is not weakness, it is healing. It is hope, and you should go for it. Therapy allows you to heal and develop healthy coping skills.

@elitelifellc is doing something amazing, bringing more awareness to mental health.

I attended my first TEDX Event.

TEDXUNIMED was beautiful, mind-blowingly so. The set up, the organizers, the hosts, and the speakers were just perfect. It was an amazing experience, let's unpack some of the things I learnt.

This edition was themed... "LIMITLESS" and we had 6 amazing speakers share their stories and ideas. It's almost 2 months since the event and here are some things that stuck;

✓ Don't see an opportunity and disqualify yourself by yourself. At least give them the chance to reject you— @chisommbama

✓ Consistency will take you to places where talent alone will not get you. It doesn't matter how slowly you go, as long as you don't stop— @rae_timzy

✓ Becoming limitless doesn't just happen, it's an intentional act. — @drfemidele

✓ Never be scared to branch out of the path people think suits you best, because nobody knows what's best of you, than you. The magic begins when you believe in yourself.— @jeieldamina

✓ Become the best version of yourself by leveraging your comparative advantage —@timi_joel

✓ It is not out of place to dream big.— @themotunglobal

After so much envisioning on my own, it felt refreshing to have my thoughts and ideas affirmed. Sitting in a room with people who mirror possibilities does something powerful to the mind.

I think attending conferences is my kind of fun and it's just because these conversations have a way of staying with you, even long after you have heard it, you still remember and you are encouraged to forge ahead. 

Thank you TEDXUNIMED

Postcards from lately.

Life lately has been busy. I have been so tired. As someone with many interests, I have been struggling to balance everything that I enjoy doing. And it's like a loop, I keep trying to figure things out but every time, it has led to burn out. 

I'm a writer, working to get a first class degree in Nursing, a leader, also a mental health advocate that really wants to help persons with mental health struggles. My love for books has led me to create a community that is involved in the growth of other book lovers. At the same time, I'm trying to create a personal brand on here, while blogging on Substack and recruiting clients on Linkedin. 

Doing all of these things, at once and efficiently has been impossible. And when I can't do it all, I feel a sense of loss, like I'm losing a part of myself. 

I'm there again, having so much to do, to accomplish and still unable to do it all and I'm burnt out. As always, I'm not giving up.

But now, I'm learning priority and priority orientation.  I'm learning about time and patience too.

Writing has changed my life and I can't even begin to explain how much. I intend to make a good change with every piece. But writing here, right now, on this platform is not a priority. So I am taking a step back.

This is not goodbye. I hope to be back soon, with my mind clearer, and with a better structure to always be able to create, regardless of my schedule.

With love,
TORIA. 🤍 by @iamtoryaa
