True Stride is an empowerment collective dedicated to teaching individuals to know, communicate and nourish their Heart Value, every day. Through the True Stride podcast, Heart Value book, and Value Vault retreat, individuals learn to voice their Heart Value, elevate their joy frequency and feel appreciated in ways that matter.
Most individuals minimize or discount the value they offer and the things that brings them joy. The True Stride movement creates a collaborative conversation that prioritizes a person’s Heart Value–what energetically and emotionally lights them up–above society’s idea of what’s valuable.
True Stride Movement
The True Stride movement creates a common language and a collaborative community of like-minded individuals who support each other’s commitment to living with of passion, purpose and meaningful relationships. When one individual’s joy frequency is raised, that vibration transcends to others and inspires more people to raise their joy frequency too.
The True Stride empowerment collaborative fosters new beliefs, skills and vision to self-direct their lifes aspirations, and motivate others to do the same. The fundamental questions of the True Stride movement are tied to Heart Value (what lights you up) feelings, choices and actions:
- Feel: What energetically and emotionally lights you up? Who are the people in your life that appreciate your Heart Value? What areas of your life align to your True Stride that you would like to experience more?
- Choose: Are you trusting your inner compass and making choices that align with your heart-center or are you making choices to please others? What choices will you make today that support your Heart Value purpose and fulfillment? How are you prioritizing making more Heart Value connections so your life’s work feels more rewarding?
- Act: What one step or action will you take today that aligns with your True Stride? Small steps lead to progress and momentum, and if you change your mind about the path you’re on, you are always free to choose again.
The True Stride team provides insights, exercises, community support and learning opportunities to inspire you to tell your value story and be better seen, understood and treasured.
Join this movement to realize your True Stride and walk purposefully, in all that you do!
