Intro

Odiva Vasell: (00:00)
Fempreneurs, get ready to have some fun. Today, we are here with Lesley Nicole of “Just One _ Can.org.” Just One _fill in the blank)__ Can is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing more joy into the world. We have a special guest today, and she has a very special mission. It’s called “Just One _ Can.org,” and I’m gonna let her tell you what that is all about. So, listen carefully because people around the world, kids especially, are going to be able to listen to this and find out that there is someone special who is providing the help that they need. So, welcome, Lesley Nicole.
Lesley Nicole: (00:59)
Thank you, thank you, thank you, lovely Odiva. It is so thrilling to be here with you today. I truly appreciate the opportunity to share about what we’re doing and the mission that we’re on and to bring some more awareness to a really incredible, increasing benefit, and also potential crisis that we have going on. So, at “Just One _ Can,” we help parents and actually any adult who guides children by teaching effective communication and conflict resolution skills. So, that parents and adults who guide them create a safe space so that kids feel that they can come to them with anything that may be going on inside them. And by doing that, we show them how to create a safe space and how to have skill sets and how to use the language and the modeling and the structures so that the kids do feel like they are actually seen, heard, and what they say matters because to me, every person that I meet, that’s just the purpose of my life, is to wake up with a smile and greet everyone I meet with compassion, kindness, thoughtfulness, and caring. Even your smile can make the difference. And I feel that when we engage with people like that, even if they’re total strangers or a kid in the grocery store standing in line with their mom, right? To sit there and connect with them so that they know that they were seen. And if they ask you something, that they were heard. And when you engage them back with a smile and go, “Oh my gosh, yes, look at that little teddy bear,” then they’re all like, “And what I said mattered,” because this adult spoke to me. And when you see that light up on someone, you know, on a child’s face, it’s priceless. It’s absolutely priceless.

Odiva Vasell: (03:07)
I just want to take a breath into that because everyone wants to be seen and heard and know that they matter.
