Q&A with Seashells! 🌊🐚

What motivates you to be a volunteer?
I am motivated to be a volunteer listener here, as I through my own experience, I know the importance of having a listening ear. Many people struggle to get access to therapies for different reasons, and so if I can provide support as a listener, I will do it! And once you have become a listener and met the wonderful members here, and heard their stories, that is enough motivation for me!

Your proudest 7 Cups achievement.
My proudest achievement 7cups achievement isn't a role or badge, it's having had messages of thanks and appreciation from other members and listeners.

If you had one piece of advice for our community (leaders/listeners/members/etc), what would it be?
If I had one piece of advice for the community... you are on your own journey, at your own pace. be you. we need you in the world, in our community. trying is the best anyone can do - but that doesn't mean working yourself into burnout either. 💜

Which fellow 7 Cups leader(s) do you admire and why?
I admire every single human being who is part of our community. I will pick a few who come to mind in the moment, but please don't think this is all! @tabbycat97 my amazing listener twinnie, who since she joined cups has put her all into everything she does and helps everyone on instinct. you are wonderful! @hopedreamlove who is a fantastic leader, checking in with their team, being proactive and supportive!

What’s next for you on your 7 Cups journey?
Well, I'll be an ATL in two days at the time of writing this! So this will be the next part of my journey. I am excited to take up this role, to extend support to more people. 💜

Thank you, Seashells, for reminding us that when the sun goes down, the stars come out, and that the darkest nights produce the brightest stars.🌟
