I was r@ped at 13. Larissa Gray's story

<p>She was raped at the age of 13. The guy who profoundly violated her in the downstairs bathroom of a friend&#39;s house tied off the condom, went to the party, and started swinging it around, an idiotic but satisfied look on his face. She could hear the guys cheering him on, clapping. Meanwhile she stood there feeling as if someone had cracked an egg on her forehead, the yellow goo of shame flowing all over her face.</p><p>Larissa Astara Gray shared her story, laced with deeply vulnerable and shocking details. Through the context of her story, we discussed the most beautiful, divine, natural act that created every single one of us — sex. And how misrepresented, distorted, wrapped in shame, guilt, taboo and abuse it unfortunately is…</p><p>Her mission is to give people their voice back around sex, as reclaiming her own voice has been her life&#39;s work — healing and piecing back together what drug and sexual abuse shattered. Larissa is an incredible storyteller, and you&#39;ll find her ability to draw life-affirming insight from the most abhorrent trauma events most inspiring.</p>

"I am not afraid." Maggie Jean's story

<p>A big, warm smile is the first thing you notice when you meet Maggie.</p><p>Beneath her warm and loving personality is a woman with the heart of a lion.</p><p>&quot;I am not afraid,&quot; she kept saying as she shared her story.</p><p>Moving from the relaxed pace of life in St. Lucia to the fast-paced, results-driven environment of the USA came with its challenges. In her new job, she was constantly learning. &quot;Of course, I was falling on my face and making mistakes...&quot; she said.</p><p>But instead of support, she was met with mockery and humiliation.</p><p>She had to become her own cheerleader when she felt unseen. Learning to quiet the negative voices, both inside and outside, was preparing Maggie for what came next. She had to learn how to channel her capability when she felt unseen. </p><p>Today, she works with executives who feel unseen or overlooked within their companies and organisations. She helps them recognise the value they bring, so they can step fully into their potential, elevate their performance, contribute to exponential success for the organisations they serve, and create greater success for themselves in the process.</p><p>Her mission is to empower individuals and teams to succeed together, because lasting success is never achieved alone. She has developed her unique approach to make people SEE themselves… When that happens, success becomes inevitable. </p><p>Have you lost touch with your value? Do you see the &quot;evidence&quot; around you that seems to prove you&#39;re &quot;behind&quot;? But you want more? That&#39;s the problem Maggie is committed to helping you solve.</p>

Creating flourishing environment for people to thrive. Ioana Lupo's story

<p> When I think of Ioana Lupo’s story, I imagine a field full of beautiful wild flowers. It is a picture-perfect scene. Now, imagine one flower being plucked out, planted into a pot and placed in a dark room. Will it survive? Maybe. But will it thrive, blossom and add beauty to its surrounding? Unlikely. </p><p> It is the same with people. When we are in a favourable environment, we thrive and blossom. That’s how I saw Ioana Lupo’s mission drawn from her story — creating an environment where people flourish. </p><p> Born in Romania, she once wanted to be a geographer, drawn to unmapped land and the pull of exploring it. Life moved her into HR instead, and somewhere inside organisations and the people trying to survive them, she found the territory she was always meant to explore — not land, but the conditions that let a person flourish, or quietly take them apart.</p><p> Today she’s an executive coach for HR professionals — giving people the tools and resources to recognise what they need to flourish themselves and how to create flourishing environments. </p><p> In this conversation, we talk about her story, the leap from one continent to a completely different terrain, and the fear underneath most fears — not failure, not other people, but whether we’re actually capable of what we’re being asked to become. And what’s waiting on the other side once you find out you are.</p>
