Hi, I'm Ashley Ghose, Lead Assistant for the Midland Area Wellbeing Coalition and founder and Coach of Ashley M. Ghose Coaching.

The quote that inspires me is from Brené Brown: "Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen."

This quote reminds me that part of supporting my own wellbeing is making an impact in the world, and I can't do that if I don't show up and let others see what I can offer and how I can help. Showing up this way aligns with my values of serving and supporting others, and living by those values is what keeps me well.

So, where could you start to show up and let yourself be seen? And how might that support your wellbeing?

Best wishes,
Ashley

🎛️ Control Controllables
Not everything is within our control — but some things always are. Focusing on what you can control reduces stress and increases effectiveness.

💡 Reflect:
• What’s currently outside your control?
• What is within your control in this situation?
• How does shifting focus change your stress level?
• Where have you successfully used this strategy before?
• What controllable will you focus on this week?

Hi, I’m Kallai Plummer, Director of Events with the Midland Business Alliance and a member of the Midland Area Wellbeing Coalition. A quote that is meaningful to me is something my Oma said: “You are allowed to make mid-course corrections in life.”

I find this quote meaningful because it reminds me that I don’t have to keep following a path simply because it’s the one I chose before. As a woman and someone who is still learning and growing, I can put pressure on myself to have everything figured out. My Oma’s words give me permission to pause, reassess, and choose a different direction.

This quote supports my wellbeing by helping me release the guilt that can come with changing my mind. I can honor who I’ve been while making room for who I’m becoming.

So, where in your life could you give yourself permission to make a mid-course correction?

Small changes can have a big impact. 💚

There’s something special about learning in person, sharing ideas and connecting with others who are also working to improve wellbeing.

Past participant Danielle Meeder shared how the in-person experience helped her better understand the tools and frameworks covered in the Midland Wellbeing Certificate, beyond what she could gain from watching a video or learning on her own.

⏸️ Not Right Now
Sometimes success means delaying, not denying. “Not right now” allows space to focus on priorities without closing the door completely.

💡 Reflect:
• What request or idea have you been carrying that isn’t timely?
• How does saying “not right now” feel different than “no”?
• What does postponing protect for you?
• Where could delay support better outcomes?
• What can you intentionally set aside for now?

Hi, I’m Danielle Meeder, an account manager at HES and member of the Midland Area Wellbeing Coalition.

A quote that is meaningful to me is, “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans,” said by John Lennon.

The reason I find this quote so impactful is the gentle reminder to slow down and be present. It’s so easy to get caught up in what’s coming next—the next goal, the next project, the next milestone, or your next chore—and forget to appreciate what’s happening right in front of us. Some of the best parts of life happen in the everyday moments we never planned for!

This quote supports my wellbeing by reminding me to be present, appreciate the people, places, and moments around me, and not get so caught up in thinking about what’s next that I miss what’s happening right now.

What’s one moment you can slow down and appreciate today?
