    09. ''being multifaceted is a gift" - Shevelle Serita

    In this 8 part series, I sit down with some creative people who would describe themselves as multifaceted. I explore the ways that they journey through life, pursue their goals and showcase their talents whilst remaining their authentic selves. In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Shevelle Serita (@shevelleserita).   Founder of Mission Exhale, a wellness business which she runs alongside her day job, Shevelle has explored her gifts as a multifaceted person from writing, spoken word poetry, speaking/hosting and running workshops. With her psychology degree background, she is also an assistant psychologist who incorporates her skills in coaching to support those in her role as a housing support manager. I loved sitting down with Shevelle as she opened up about her past fears, limitations and her journey to launching Mission Exhale. I hope the conversation encourages you in your journey to explore your gifts and talents too.  02:00 -  Introduction to new series  05:44 - Icebreaker - what brings you joy? 08:28 - Where did the idea for Mission Exhale come from?  19:35 - Why are affirmations important?  22:13 - Shevelle’s journey, education and work 26:25 - What does your role as a housing manager involve?  28:50 - Discovering writing / poetry as a gift  30:53 - What does being multifaceted mean to you?  34:17 - Shevelle's love for dance and acting 36:10 - Limiting beliefs, fear and being a light 39:57 - Reading our affirmation cards @missionexhale   43:00 - How do you balance things? 45:23 -  What's next?  46:44 - Investing in friends + relationships  53:12 - The importance of boundaries - 'letting go' 1:01:08 - Outro Connect with Shevelle - https://www.instagram.com/shevelleserita/    ► Shop Mission Exhale  - https://www.instagram.com/missionexhale/    Watch EXHALE Visual: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vv7mvPVJt8c
