One of the biggest reminders from this experience is how much impact one person can have simply by choosing to support, advocate for, or believe in someone else.
We want to sincerely thank Craig Timothy for taking the time to nominate Becky Gardiner for the 2026 Woman Entrepreneur of the Year Award through .
Because one person chose to advocate for the work being done at Soulful Strides, more awareness is now being brought to individuals and families struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, hopelessness, and addiction within our communities.
Sometimes we underestimate the power of sharing someone’s work, making an introduction, nominating someone, or helping bring visibility to a mission trying to make a difference. But those small actions create ripple effects that truly matter.
We are deeply grateful for people who use their influence and voice to help lift and support others.
