The D Shift

Bringing joy and happiness into your life should be intentional. Ali Perry-Davies is an individual who has experienced PTSD, traumatic brain injury, an a destructive and unhealthy and having those issues define her file a period of her life. Ali has learned that making a choice not to stay in that time and place in life starts with a desire to change and carry on with our personal stories.

We discuss the role of resiliency and how we can build it in our lives. We talk about being hard-wired to live, despite difficulties in life. Ali shares her ideas on moving past surviving mode and into thriving mode. She shares her own experience of being in a place with little hope, belief, or a plan to move forward, but how that turned around when she met an employment counselor, Maggie Collins, who truly changed her life by believing in Ali and providing the support needed to grow hope and move forward.

Ali discusses the support found in non-profit organizations that offer the help you need. We talk about giving ourselves time to make big life changes and how it is OK to feel nervous, frightened, and even have a limited vision of what you want to do. The important message is to have faith, which may be faith in the person you trust to help with the change, the process, or the people supporting you. You can lean on the faith of others that you will succeed. Tap into the power of people cheering you on and trust that you are worthy of good things in your life.

About the Guest:
