This weekend pushed me outside of my comfort zone.
I wear pants and work dogs for a living. That’s my world. That’s where I’m comfortable, confident, and most at home. Put me in a gown and heels, and suddenly I have the confidence and grace of a dog wearing booties for the first time.
But if there’s one thing that will always make the discomfort worth it, it’s coming together for something so much bigger than ourselves. Raising money, giving back, and helping families who are struggling with the devastating effects of mold.
It’s also the opportunity to surround myself with incredible people who inspire me to be more, do better, and never stop growing.
Getting to learn from professionals with different experiences and perspectives, hug friends who feel like I’ve known them forever, and shake hands with industry leaders whose work I genuinely admire made this a weekend I won’t soon forget.
There’s something incredibly humbling about being surrounded by people who are so passionate about what they do. People who are willing to challenge the status quo, push boundaries, share their knowledge, and dedicate themselves to making a difference.
It’s a reminder that no matter how far we’ve come, there is always more to learn, more to give, and more work to be done.
And in so many ways, we are just getting started.
I am forever grateful that I get to spend my days doing what I love.
But more than anything, I’m humbled by the responsibility and privilege of doing this work that truly changes lives.
And if I can spend my life being even a small part of helping those people find answers, hope, and a way forward, then I can’t imagine a greater privilege.
There is so much more to do.
So many more people to help.
And I will never lose sight of just how much it means to be able to do this work. 🤍
