Hey hey Heather, thank you for agreeing to this interview, and for allowing us to know you and appreciate your wonderful self more! ❤

Let's begin!

🌻 I feel, making the most of 7 cups and spending a nice cupsing day is different for different people! What is your idea of spending a balanced time on 7 cups? Feel free to share your idea of what a good day looks like on 7cups, for you.

A day on 7Cups looks like checking in on all the dashboards for the teams I am apart of. I complete any tasks that I need to complete. Such as create an appreciation post, grade AL tests, review intern evaluation, provide peer care/support, occasionally run support groups & currently I am active within the CDM program so I am doing course work for that :D. After that, I am accepting 1on1 chats.

🌻 Oh wow lots to do! I see you've been here since 2020 (same year and same month as me Yayy), We'd love to know more about your 7-cup journey so far. What have your learnings been as a listener?

Something I have learned that not only helps me succeed on 7Cups but as well in my personal life would be, active listening.

🌻 Certainly, active listening skills are truly powerful and helpful both on and off cups. Besides being an active listener, you've got so many leadership roles in the community already, I'd like to take a moment to thank you for everything you do here. Moving on, what is your favourite role here? What do you enjoy the most here? Why?

Thank you! Honestly, I enjoy being a part of the PAT team the most. Not only do i enjoy creating graphics, i also enjoy spending kindness to others. The world needs more kindness.

🌻 Aww how noble, the world definitely needs more kindness. Coming to your *smile spreader* role, you're certainly one of the most enthusiastic teammates, spreading so many smiles around!

What inspired you to join the team?

Thank you for your kind words! What inspired me to join is because I want to be apart of spreading smiles and hopefully helping others feel better about themselves.

🌻 I am certain you do that and a lot. How would you describe being a "smile spreader"/ your experience in the PAT so far, in your words? In what ways do you feel being in PAT impacts you personally?

My experience as a smile speaker has been a lot of fun. It makes me happy being able spread smiles and share appreciation to others.

🌻 Superrr happy to hear that! You make so many lovely appreciations to make people smile and feel better about themself. We'd love to know, What's something good for your personal growth that you can do consistently?

That is a good question. Something that I do well for my personal growth that i can consistently do is getting out of my confront zone despite having severe anxiety. I have been getting out and attending concerts myself. The more i do it, the more I am lmess anxious about going out to places by myself.

🌻 Aww I am sooo proud of you. Way to go! This has been fun so far. And of course, to end this interview, you've got the biggest floor to yourself. Feel free to share anything you like with the community, your fellow PAT members or anyone you'd like to shout out to!

I have been enjoying my time as a listener and a leader. Throughout this past year I finished the internship program with honors, began the CDM program, became a better listener overall and achieved many roles within the community. I highly recommend other listeners checking out the different roles here.

Woohoo! I've completed various programs from 7 Cups Academy also and I must say, they're all amazing. Thank you for highlighting the same and recommending leadership roles. We have so many roles for both listeners and members and it certainly is a great way to enrich our 7 cups's experience as well as enable personal growth.

Thankyouu, Heather, you are incredibly appreciated! 💛
