Episode Synopsis

Send us a textWhat happens when you stop trying to fix everyone and everything around you? In this deeply personal conversation, Cinda shares her transformative journey from an 18-year-old mother with limited horizons to becoming a respected community leader who's found her purpose in serving others."You can only do your part" – these six simple words changed everything for Cinda. After years of trying to control outcomes and fix situations beyond her influence, this realization freed her to focus solely on her responsibilities in each relationship, whether as a mother, wife, daughter, or community servant. The wisdom she shares about boundaries, self-acceptance, and personal growth resonates with anyone who's ever felt trapped by their own expectations.One pivotal moment stands out in her story: receiving a food assistance box during a difficult time that was filled with expired and unfamiliar items. Rather than just feeling disappointed, this experience sparked her calling to ensure others wouldn't face the same situation. This led her down an unexpected career path from restaurant work to nonprofit leadership, all without the college degree she once thought was required.What makes this episode especially powerful is Cinda's concept of "falling up" instead of down. Each setback became a stepping stone that ultimately elevated her to places she never imagined possible. Her authenticity shines through as she discusses learning that "no" is a complete sentence, embracing her true self (glitter and all), and finding the confidence to pursue goals independently.Whether you're struggling with boundaries, feeling limited by your past, or simply trying to understand your purpose, Cinda's story offers both practical wisdom and inspiring hope. As she reminds us, "Be the social caterpillar or the big butterfly or a little ant on a hill, whichever one you want to be... just don't be afraid to be yourself."Support the show Standing In Your Truth Podcast with Yanni Thomas https://www.facebook.com/share/1Kcug7eVXX/?mibextid=wwXIfr
