What Can Community Look Like For You?
Create your own beautiful community. “Make it beautiful by linking with like-minded people you meet in great safe spaces like Medium.” ~ Coach Donna Marie
I’ve been gradually finding a beautiful community of like-minded leaders here on Medium, and in other spaces like YouTube lives. I have been connecting with many women leaders from all over the world who are as passionate about their writing as I am, such as one of the top Medium writers named Deya B.
On Tuesday 8–22–23 at 10:30 am EST, I had the pleasure and privilege of interviewing Deya Bhattacharya on the Plant Your Seeds of Transformation live podcast. I invited her to be a podcast guest after hearing her speak during her Medium Day virtual conference session. During her session, Deya addressed alternative productivity wisdom that’s needed for people who may not be able to (or not want to) post a new article every day or several times a day, and who are still passionate about creating their own unique flow for their creative process. After hearing that, I knew she’d be a perfect guest for our podcast show.
During my podcast, I asked her to talk about how she views perfectionism and how it has impacted her. See this video short to hear part of her answer:

JOURNAL PROMPTS
Because I am a trained and certified leadership coach, I would love to connect with you about how the journal prompts provided in the episode show notes help you. For instance, one of the journal prompts is:
- How do you define strength within your own life, and what do you need so you can get stronger in your strengths?
There are several other journal prompts on the show notes page. I hope they’re helpful. And I hope you’ll reach out and give me feedback so that I’ll know how they help. Leave a comment here on Medium (or send an email on the show website).
As the host and producer of the show. I am committed to continuing to build my community and find topics to discuss and leaders to interview who have relevant insights that help you Plant Your Seeds of Transformation. No matter what life has thrown at you, never give up. Keep learning and growing. Keep being inspired by others with similar stories. Do not accept anyone else defining what strength is for you.
Thanks for reading, watching, and listening.
