Welcome to the HELPP Network's Substack!
I'm so glad you're here. If you're ready to transform your life's raw ingredients into a potent concoction of well-being and impact, then you're in the right place.
The Recipe for a Dynamically Flourishing Life Starts Here
For some of us, it starts with throwing one thing into the bowl at a time.
For others (like myself), it starts with throwing a bunch of things into the bowl at one time, failing, revising my approach, and trying again until I figure it out.
However we start, we start with a recipe that is so unique to us, but without the 10-page litany of the accolades of every single ancestor that contributed to this particular variation of the recipe.
And now, it’s just about how we choose to grind, crush, cut, or blend the ingredients. How we choose to mix and layer the ingredients. What things we choose to do to - highlight some, hide some, or coordinate a symphony of flavors so unique that it attracts. The end result is your unique recipe for continuous peaceful adaptation through all the inequity and imperfection life may have to offer.
1. Why this, why now
For years, my path has been what I have come to know as a continuous process of Homeostatically Peaceful Adaptation, Character-Building, and Catalyzing Experiences. This core triad isn't just a philosophy I talk about; it's a lived experience. As many of you know, I've navigated my own struggles, from the traumatic events that marked my transition into high school through being a single parent at one point to raising a family of six. I’ve navigated supporting myself, renting rooms from friends, and navigating public assistance to meet essential survival needs. These personal experiences, alongside my professional work with a wide range of populations and my long-standing background in health and wellness, continuously solidify a profound conviction: true leadership and impact begin with self-mastery.
I've come to understand that the "brokenness" we see in the world often stems from this distorted perception in self-interest driven by domination and power plays: whatever the cost acquire more, create surplus for oneself and who that oneself deems worthy without regard to sustainability for the world at large. My mission with The HELPP Network is to show how genuine equity emerges when societal strengths are strategically mobilized to support vulnerabilities. We are all part of this "Net of Humanity". It is the dynamic balance between the strength of each individual within the collective that helps keep the net of humanity strong and adaptable, reinforcing the collective by maintaining our optimal function and giving back to the world with the best of ourselves, regardless of whether an individual has been born with extreme physical potential, mental potential, emotional potential, relational potential, or otherwise.
So, why now? Because the time for a new, evidence-based paradigm is urgent (as is evident by the growing number of those of us who are moving and acting to be that change). The contemporary global landscape is characterized by deeply intertwined and escalating crises, including widespread homelessness, persistent social inequality, and accelerating environmental degradation. Traditional, siloed approaches often fall short in addressing the complex, synergistic nature of these challenges, but there is hope in the many initiatives, organizations, and individuals doing their part to create true connection and correction.
I'm launching The HELPP Network's Molcajete Space as the initial ground where we can start to actualize our parts in this mission, together. It’s my commitment to embodying this ethos, refining it through shared experience, and inviting you to do the same. This Substack Space is my central hub for sharing the philosophy of the HELPP Network and Dynamic Flourishing, providing accessible insights, fostering a general community, and acting as a gateway to deeper engagement.
2. What kind of community am I looking to build here?
This isn't just a newsletter; it's an invitation to join a community of vibrant, supportive, and engaged individuals interested in holistic well-being, personal growht, and the foundational principles of the Dynamic Flourishing Hierarchy.
I envision a community of proactive agents of positive, sustainable change. We're a group dedicated to Dynamic Flourishing, embracing imperfection and dynamic adaptation as our superpowers. This is a space for honest reflection, mutual support, and shared growth. We will challenge limiting beliefs, define our core values, and ultimately, find our unique path to contribution.
