I CANNOT DO THIS ALONE

“Sometimes we go through what we go though, to help others go through what we went through.” Kathe Wunnenberg

Since I started this blog and support sight back in February, I have posted 30 total blogs; 29 I have written, and one graciously offered anonymous post. I have taken off 1 week in 30 weeks due to some desperately needed family time. Behind the blog scene, I have continued to work a full-time job, joined the advisory board for the Sigmund School of Business and also taken on a leadership role with the global women’s ERG at Glanbia where we will be proudly launching our first ever women’s global mentoring program in a couple of weeks.

There have been 1,400 visitors to this blog site and nearly 3,700 views in just 6 months. I feel like some of the content is resonating and I do believe that there is a need for this type of real, raw and honest discussion. I have kept this site ad free and paid for the domain out of my own pocket all in an effort to make it easy and enjoyable to navigate. Ads distract from a place that I want to be simple, organized and peaceful.

At the same time, I am struggling with whether or not to this blog should continue. I have a writers’ block that has been haunting me week after week. What do I write next? What topics can we all benefit from? Instead of something I look forward to, this blog has become something that is hanging over my head and another large item on my “to do” list week after week.

I have always been honest, vulnerable and real in these posts. I have shared intimate details about the struggles that very few are willing to share. It has been my passion and hope that by sharing these stories and vulnerable moments that I am making a difference for those that are struggling with similar challenges. This week, I am asking all of you to be vulnerable with me. I need help moving through this writers’ block, I need help to continue to build what I believe could evolve into an interactive and safe support space for all those seeking fulfillment and sucess in both their careers and their personal lives.

If you have enjoyed the posts and you want the content to continue, I am asking all of you for help. Please comment with subject areas that we should explore or send an email via the website link with your personal story (which will be kept confidential). If you would like to contribute to the community with a guest post (either anonymous or otherwise); please contact me. I have never claimed to have all the answers, I only have experiences. My experiences are only my perspective, this space should share all experiences and all perspectives. For this space and vulnerable conversation to continue, I cannot do it alone.
