I have
Received a Giving Key
With the word
FORTITUDE
My Story
I received a key from my friend Nikki with Fortitude written on it. It is possibly the most important word in my world at the moment. Fortitude means finding strength in adversity and it has been important for us both for many reasons.
I met Nikki while I was doing some culture and engagement work at her workplace. My techniques are all based around belonging, creating tribes, and getting the most out of life. It just so happened that Nikki was going through some pretty intense personal stuff at the time and my messages were perfectly timed for her.
Since that time I have created a product for young people called The Fortitude Programme and it is all about building strength so our next generation can handle the inevitable adversity that will come their way.
Nikki has been the programme's biggest fan and is now a part of the team that will launch it into the world! That was some context for the story really. The best part is that our paths crossed at exactly the right time and we now can share our love of Fortitude and how it has changed both of our lives.
Nikki found hers just when she needed it most to step into her true self and I found mine when recovering from a traumatic birth. It is both of our missions to take Fortitude to as many young people as we possibly can, and I cannot wait to see the difference we will both be able to make in the world. Thank you for the space to share our story!
