Meet our Mindful Lunch September Speaker: Delisa Abraham.

I met Delisa in Toronto in February 2025 at the York Entrepreneurial Development Institute's Nonprofit Pitch Event. I remember standing at the front of the room, sharing my vision for how The StoryBridge Network would foster inclusiveness and belonging among newcomers, seniors, and youth. Delisa was sitting in the audience - she came solely to support new nonprofit leaders. She wore a cozy pink coat and listened intently while sharing a kind and supportive gaze. I knew instantly that this was someone whose story I wanted to learn.

Delisa Abraham is a veteran executive, strategic advisor, and trusted civic voice with more than two decades of cross-sector leadership experience spanning the military, corporate, nonprofit, and public sectors.

As President & Principal Advisor of 3CL Communications, she leads a veteran-founded consultancy dedicated to high-integrity public affairs, executive protocol, and civic communications strategy. She partners with legacy organizations, senior government officials, and mission-driven leaders across Ontario to elevate institutional presence, strengthen community connection, and foster stakeholder trust.

Delisa is also the Co-Founder of Faith and Sparkles’ World, a social impact platform created with her daughter, Faith Abraham. Through this initiative, Delisa mentors emerging leaders, amplifies stories of courage and civic service, and sparks intergenerational dialogue on leadership and resilience.

With a unique ability to bring clarity, collaboration, and purpose-driven messaging into every space she serves, Delisa continues to inspire others to lead with integrity, resilience, and compassion.

But that's just Delisa's told story. Join us on Thursday, September 18, at noon (Central Time) to learn how Delisa incorporates these insights into her personal story of cultivating resilience and mental well-being, both for herself and her daughter, Faith.

This final video in the Reclaiming Resilience video series feels more like a masterclass. You can watch the video and others in the Reclaiming Resilience video series here: https://www.reyoumindfulness.com/video-library?wix-vod-video-id=n1mjUJL0Nx0&wix-vod-comp-id=comp-meahmddn

It takes time to undo learning and to create new understanding. So let us know if any of this resonates. You can watch all the videos in this series here.

Personal relationships, a reliable group, personal wellness, a sense of purpose, and the ability to keep things in perspective are key protective factors that ensure a person can practice resilience.

Do you have these factors? Do you need help resourcing them? Can you resource them for someone else? The next time you think about resilience, try to look behind the word to ask if these factors exist for the person or group you expect to demonstrate 'resilience.'

If you or your team are pondering ways to resource resilience, talk to us.

Today’s flex:💪🏿

✅ Get on the bus
✅ Complete the wellbeing self-assessment
✅ Take 3 minutes to reflect on my self assessment results
✅ Listen to a guided meditation recording
✅ Calmly watch people get on and off the bus
✅ Feel gratitude
✅ Feel self-compassion
✅ Get off the bus
✅ Go to work

Queen energy all the way! Why? Today is a good day to do a well-being self assessment! It’s one of the check-in features we offer in our Mindfulness Practice Toolkit.

Along with recorded guided meditation practices, relevant and resourceful journaling and reflection prompts, the Mindfulness Practice Toolkit includes periodic self-assessments to help you gauge where you are and how you are progressing in your own mental health and well-being.

Why do we do this? Because it’s important to take a minute to honestly answer ‘How are you feeling today?’ It’s also important to see how today compares to how you were feeling two weeks ago or a month ago. Without that information, you cannot change your mental wellness or well-being outcomes. That’s why we advocate for a learning, practice, assessment, and reflection cycle.

If you’re looking for simple, practical and effective tools to grow and maintain your personal wellness and well-being - without the fluff - check out the Reyou Community. Link in bio.

Along with recorded guided meditation practices, relevant and resourceful journaling and reflection prompts, the Mindfulness Practice Toolkit includes periodic self-assessments to help you gauge where you are and how you are progressing in your own mental health and well-being.

What’s most useful about the toolkit is that you get to reflect on the outcome of your self-assessment. We offer reflection prompts to help you decide how you will move forward, take stock of what’s changing or if it’s time to enlist clinical help.

Resilience is not just about thriving despite challenges. It also involves the process and ingredients that enable adaptation. If you do not have the key ingredients, how can you adapt, let alone thrive?

If resilience feels like a heavy word for you, or you bristle when someone says “be more resilient.” This video is for you and that person.

People who demonstrate resilience tend to display several common characteristics. They have at least one empathic person in their life who understands them and accepts them as they are. They belong to a community that validates their identities and shares their values. They have healthy and effective coping strategies that they can use when they feel challenged or overwhelmed by change (or life). They retain an optimistic outlook, despite their challenges, and they believe in something bigger than themselves - whether that is spiritual, religious, scientific, or mystical.

In this second video in our video series about Reclaiming Resilience, Dr. Patlee Creary explains that questioning and understanding these factors can help us recognize the complexity of the resources and skills involved in “thriving” in the face of challenges or difficulties.

It’s the end of August! The leaves are yellowing. The sunlight has shifted. That means it’s time to end .

How was your ? Here are the top 5 things that I will miss as we officially wrap up our mindful summer outdoor activities.

1. Eating cherry tomatoes straight from the plant in my garden - hardly any tomatoes made it into the house😋
2. Driving more than 30 km in the school zones - time to switch up my route once again 🚙
3. Taking for a walk outside - I know you’ll miss that too buddy❤️
4. Drinks and eats on the patio - any patio 🍻
5. Coffee meditations on my front porch - yes, that’s a thing I invented and it is sweeeeeeet ☕️

What will you miss about our summer? Add yours in the comments.
