Staying Consciously Motivated whilst Embracing Limitless Potential

Let’s talk about the beautiful journey of staying consciously motivated in life. Less than 19 months ago, I experienced the completion of my divorce, the death of my father, and being defrauded out of thousands all in the space omonths. Now, that is one summer I will never forget!

After going through such a dilemma, life will truly show you who your family and friends are and highlight how resilient you truly stand in the face of adversity, and for me, this was a make-or-break situation! I had to be isolated, stripped and dismantled, removed from everything I thought I knew. Although at times it felt like I was losing my mind and everything was literally crumbling right in front of me. This explosion created space for my authentic self to emerge and flourish once again!

Hey there! I am Chelly, the Innovator of R:CH and the host of R:CH Talks Podcast. Before I introduce you to the exciting services, products, and community initiatives that R:CH has developed for you, I thought it best to introduce myself and tell you a bit about my personal journey and how my transformative experiences led me to finally launch the R:CH platform after 12 years in the making.

One thing I'll say about me, I’ve always been that quirky one in the family, partially fitting in but mostly feeling disconnected, and that's okay because a lot of the people that I was surrounded by, I didn't understand them and they certainly didn’t understand me! It was irritating at first, you know growing up, I naturally sought those family commonalities we all require, that sense of belonging that feels so essential. I gradually recognised the beautiful truth that I was uniquely myself, so I sustained my true consciousness of self and embodied these differences in ways that would eventually become my superpowers. 

This awareness led me to create my path! I retreated, I guess I went AWOL from the family. Pregnant aged 19, at 20, I welcomed my daughter into the world, and by 21, I ditched her dad and boldly chose independence and self-reliance. What followed was an exhilarating journey, putting myself back into education, working within various industries, and ultimately discovering my passion for digital design and communication. Each crossroads became an opportunity for growth and self-discovery, all while my little bubba was right there guiding me towards greatness, teaching me as much as I taught her, it was me and her ready to embrace this beautiful world together.  And through it all, my wonderful Papa Jones remained my unwavering supporter.

Did I always know exactly what I was doing as a young parent? Absolutely not, and that was the exciting part as well as the most frightening! Yet the joy and determination that little girl gave me, strengthened me to embrace the journey, learning through observation, conversations, asking questions, sometimes failing enormously. Regardless of that, I knew I had to dust off the setbacks and get back up, always rising with new insights and lessons.

Listen, I have been fortunate enough to have received numerous compliments on my parenting, noting how happy, well-mannered, and caring my daughter was, I smiled knowing I had been improvising much of the journey without traditional female role models in my circle, one or two here and there, but none essentially from my immediate family.

Yet, I guess the one thing that I knew for certain, I was committed to my child, I wanted to give my daughter the same unconditional love and nurturing support my father had given me! I wanted her to embody my love in every cell of her being, knowing that she was loved infinitely to this dimension and the next. No matter what challenges arose between us, I would always stand beside her. Our bond continues to flourish beautifully, growing stronger each day.

So, when I am telling you that this journey that we're all going through, to gain self-discovery, self-contentment, ownership, and authority is challenging… it’s painful at times, it really hurts, you will cry, good and bad tears, it will pull you into all sorts of directions and experiences with people, environments, egos and attitudes, the list of tests are endless, and I know I have much more to go!

And this is why I do what I do because I believe that regardless of our upbringings, our traumas, our discombobulated paths, and the pain we endure through this journey of life, we can be ANYTHING we want to be!

We can evolve into the version of ourselves that nature has intended, authentic, powerful, and whole. Through commitment and self-discovery, we can overcome our obstacles and elevate ourselves to become critical thinkers, more loving beings, and more compassionate humans, especially toward things we may not understand or that are completely different from us and what we think we know.

When we confront life's challenges with grace, love, dignity, honesty, and as my father always taught me; with nothing but sheer optimism and faith, we will unlock our true potential!

Now, let’s take a little moment to reflect on self: It’s imperative that we do this!!

What limiting beliefs might be holding you back? What parts of your life story are calling for a fresh perspective? Where might your perceived limitations actually be unique strengths waiting to be recognized? How might embracing your authentic journey, even when it differs from expectations, which could lead to your greatest contributions to the world?

The path to transformation begins with celebrating your unique journey rather than comparing it to others or believing in the current status quo! Look at my introduction as a template, and here I am, still pushing forward with a smile on my face and my chest held high!
