Bio

 Hello! My name is Heather and helping others has always been a passion of mine.

When I accept 1-on-1 chats, I mainly accept loneliness & anxiety chats as those two topics I have much life experience in. 

Unfortunately, mental health care is expensive and I understand the struggle. Even though I volunteer and can't provide any advice or solutions, I want members to feel at ease knowing they have someone who cares and will listen and not have to stress about paying a professional. 


 I do not accept sexual health or inappropriate chats.  

I do accept casual chats 


Availability

1 on 1 chat: occasionally accept chats as I work 5/6 days a week.

...See more It's about that time of the week to get to know our awesome PAT Team Who could it be? Interviewee: @BlissfulBue Interviewer: @Heathermarie95 🌟 HeatherM: What is your self-care routine? BlissfulBue: Well, before getting down to my day to day business, I have a morning routine, which is dedicated solely to me, I do some meditation or priming (check out Tony Robbins)🧘, read/listen to a self-development book📚, do a little work on my personal projects. In the evening, I also have a routine, exercise (sometimes involves dancing!), yoga 🕺, face routine(masks, scrubs, etc), journal 📖, meditate. Every day, I make sure I have time to do something fun, like some DIY arts and crafts, or simply watcing a tv show 🙂 🌟 HeatherM: What is one quote you live by? BlissfulBue: Depending on the season in my life, I have different quotes. Right now it’s  ✨Desire outwins nature✨ ….. This is very powerful for me, as it basically reminds me that ANYTING is possible, as long as I want it badly enough and work towards it, it’ll work out 👍. 🌟 HeatherM: Why did you decide to join 7Cups as a listener? BlissfulBue: Well, I was looking for online volunteer opportunities and thanks to ChatGPT, it suggested this platform 💃. I was also happy to see that there were trainings available which would help me help people more. Also it was perfect because I’m a quiet person, so best believe, I do more listening than talking, so yeah 😀 🌟 HeatherM: Have you recommended 7 Cups to anyone in your life and what happened? BlissfulBue: I have! I’ve recommended it to a number of people actually. I got one to join as a listener, but she kept getting ghosted, and she eventually gave up 🙊. The others, well let’s just say they are still on the journey to joining our beautiful community 😀 🌟 HeatherM: What is one piece of advice you have for a new listener? BlissfulBue: You’ve got this! And considering that you’re here, it means you are very capable! 💯 And if you’re finding it hard to listen, navigate the platform or anything else, the Quality Listening Program is a great start! ✨ This interview is part of the Living with Leaders interview series.

...See more New Year New Interview! Interviewee: @BunnyLovesyou Interviewer: @heathermarie95 🌸 HeatherM: What is your self-care routine? Bunnylovesyou: My self-care routine is a tad abnormal I’d say. I used to enjoy going on a run, but because of medical reasons, I’m unable to do so for the time being. Right now, my self-care routine consists of alot of hair-care. I’m borderline obsessed with my hair. Whether that means washing and styling, just brushing it, or sometimes I get a little manic and boom we have a hair cut. I also love to lay in bed or in the sun, and read. Reading has always been my safe space and it helps charge my mental and physical battery. Recently, instead of reading, I’ve been watching the 2009 drama Glee. I could fill countless pages about the books I’ve read, or just about Glee but honestly, self-care doesn’t need to be typical. It doesn’t need to be a hot shower and a face mask. It can be whatever is best for YOU. If playing basketball makes you feel better, do it. If laying in bed watching soapy dramas about kids or reading terrifying horror novels make you feel better, do it.  🌸 HeatherM: What is one quote you live by? Bunnylovesyou: This one is actually quite funny. I have an entire wall of quotes in my room. I have atleast 40 quotes and I have about 30-40 still to add. A lot of them describe my journey as a human being, but only a few are ones I live by, if that makes any sense. Some are there to remind me of times, or just certain moments, although these few sum up my entire life. ‘You can’t take my past, you can’t take my history. Nothing you can take from me was ever worth keeping’ - The Ballad Of Songbirds and Snakes, Susanne Collins. When ever I get real sad or upset (I know I’m a listener but I do feel bad feelings xD) I look at this quote and remind myself, what was stolen? I didn’t want it anyway. The other one would have to be ‘I’m not telling you it’s going to be easy, I’m telling you it’s going to be worth it.’ - Rick Riordan, it comes from a Percy Jackson novel, although I am unsure which one. This one speaks for itself. The question was one quote and here I am rambling about 2 quotes, oops. 🌸 HeatherM: What is your favorite role that you hold on 7Cups? Bunnylovesyou: This one was very hard, seeing as I have a lot of roles, but then I realized, it’s simple. I might love modding, or being a Smile Spreader or taking Peer Support chats, but what role made all that possible. My favorite role is being a Listener. It might not count as a role, but I didn’t join 7cups as a Listener, and I have taken alot of training for it. For me, hosting chats or having fun in rooms, posting peer appreciation forms and getting to see people’s smile, or helping a listener after a hard chat, will never be as rewarding as when a member tells me that I gave them hope. They don’t know me, we’ve never talked before, and yet I was able to help them see some joy in their life. THAT is the most rewarding thing about being on 7cups, about being a listener. They don’t see me as the broken person I often feel like, but instead I am able to do for them what people didn’t do for me. It is the most rewarding thing I have ever done, and I dont ever plan on stopping.  🌸 HeatherM: Why did you decide to join 7Cups as a listener? Bunnylovesyou: I joined 7cups in June 2022, on the member side, since I was 14. I ended up having a life-changing chat with a listener, and all she did was listen to me. When I turned 15, I decided I wanted to do that. I wanted to give back as much as possible to 7cups, because 7cups gave me my life back. It was not an easy road, and it still isn’t but I am not alone. And the fact that I, just this simple person who has absolutely no clue what is going on in life, can help people so simply, is amazing. I created my Listener account on March 21, 2023. I turned 15 on March 20, 2023, and the only reason it took an entire day was because I had an issue with the social media request. I became a mod as soon as possible and I am just trying to do as much as humanly possible to do better for the world. I have to give back some how. 🌸 HeatherM: What is one piece of advice you have for a new listener? Bunnylovesyou: Simple : Don’t over-think it. Whatever you are doing, it is perfect and just enough. As long as you are following the guidelines, don’t worry. Members know we are people, it’s okay to make a spelling mistake, it’s okay to not take 72 chats right away. And you are allowed to not help everyone. I can’t say the amount of times I’ve seen new listeners upset that they had to refer a member or the member didn’t feel helped. I was one of them too. But it’s okay. You aren’t perfect, there are people that you aren’t able to help. It doesn’t mean you are a failure. It means you are human.  This interview is part of the Living with Leaders interview series.

...See more New Year New Interview! Who could it be? Interviewee: @EmpathysGarden Interviewer: @heathermarie95 🎉 HeatherM: What is your self-care routine? EmpathysGarden: My self care routine starts as soon as I wake up. I do my best to not hop on my phone and start checking emails and to-do lists first thing in the morning. I dedicate at least the first 15 minutes to just breathing, being aware of my breath, and honing in on my spatial awareness. Meditation and Systematic Muscle Relaxation are my favorite ways to practice remaining in the present. Through the day I keep a journal tracking my behaviors and even jot down limiting or negative thoughts to reframe. Lastly, I always write 3-5 things I’m grateful for an accomplished by the end of the day.  🎉 HeatherM: Why did you decide to join 7Cups as a listener? EmpathysGarden: Honestly, it was a sort of spur of the moment decision. I had heard about 7 cups and their mission before, but I had never dreamed of becoming a listener. 7 month into the year, deeper into my own personal healing journey, I decided that helping others was something that not only aligned with my values but made me feel better about my day. One thing led to another, and I fell in love with the community and all of the wonderful people within it. It’s honestly one of the most empowering and uplifting spaces I’ve ever had the honor of being apart of.  🎉 HeatherM: What is one quote you live by? EmpathysGarden: As a book worm, this is a tortuous question for me. There are so many quotes that I feel have really impacted me and influenced me at different times in my life. If I had to choose one quote that has really stuck with me and helped me through the years, it would be: “For me, becoming isn’t about arriving somewhere or achieving a certain aim. I see it instead as forward motion, a means of evolving, a way to reach continuously toward a better self. The journey doesn’t end.” —Michelle Obama For me and my perfectionist tendencies, this quote helps me remind myself to embrace the process of becoming instead of obsessing over a specific task or goal.  🎉 HeatherM: What is your favorite role that you hold on 7Cups? Why? EmpathysGarden: I really enjoy being a forum supporter, but my favorite role that I hold on 7 cups is a Peer Appreciation team member. The positivity and uplifting energy that exists among the team members, appreciators, and appreciated individuals is so heart warming. Being able to enjoy a corner of positivity during an otherwise busy and stressful day is so relaxing. Creating graphics is also an amazing artistic outlet that anyone can learn easy peasy with Canva.  🎉 HeatherM: If you could be any animal what would it be and why? EmpathysGarden:  Hehe <3 this is such a fun question! I think I’m torn between being a meerkat or a Fennec fox. They’re so cute! Also meerkat families like to stick together and prioritize teaching and nurturing their children. This interview is part of the Living with Leaders interview series.

...See more It's about that time of the week to get to know our awesome leaders! Who could it be? Interviewee: @Sadcat13 Interviewer: @Heathermarie95 ⛄ HeatherM: What is your self-care routine? Sadcat13: i don´t have one. My mental health struggles make it extremely hard for me to make a consistent effort towards a routine, so i´m more focused on meeting the basic needs i have at the moment. I ask myself what do i need right now, may it be mentally or physically. And then see what can I do about it. It is the smaller and more basic things to me that make the difference. It can be as little as sitting a few minutes in silence, taking a shower or doing a gentle stretch to bigger things like going to the gym or taking a nap. I found that this moment to moment self care works the best for me, without having to stick to a routine. ⛄ HeatherM: What is one quote you live by? Sadcat13: “Give it to God and go to sleep” It was a real game changer for me. Since I first came across this quote on one of those pinterest scrolling evenings, it saved me so many times. I´m a very anxious person, and sometimes, my anxieties regarding undone tasks or important things the next day are keeping me awake. When it happens, I remind myself of this quote, put everything down and go to bed. One time, i was worried over a work i had to do for next days class and weren´t ready with. I was barely awake, trying to finish it, with no end in sight. Then i remembered the quote and went to bed, trusting God will handle it. The next day, my lesson got canceled. I had similar outcomes happen to me multiple times. Whenever I felt powerless, hopeless and went to sleep with this quote on mind, things always worked out for me somehow. ⛄ HeatherM: What is your favorite type of weather and why? Sadcat: I used to enjoy rain when i was younger, and I still like to listen to it, but as I got older, I discovered the beauty of sunshine. I absolutely love it now. Especially the late afternoon sun when it is not hot anymore, just pleasantly warm and baths everything in beautiful light that is very pleasant to look at. ⛄ HeatherM: What is your favorite TV show? Sadcat: I am not a series fan, but recently, I am having a Spongebob Squarepants marathon. I recently thought about the show thanks to a meme I saw, and it made me think how it is such an iconic series and I haven´t seen more than a few parts here and there. So i decided to check it out, and I like it so far. Especially having fun recognising the moments that are famous meme templates. ⛄ Heather M: What topic for support is most important to you, and why? SadCat: I feel like i have a very versatile palette of support topics, that rotate according to what is presently happening in my life. Sometimes, i´m seeking support in terms of hard decisions, like the when i wanted to drop out of uni. I also seek support when i need to organize my thoughts a little, because i feel like my mind is a mess when facing a specific challenge, like searching for a job. Asking other´s experiences with adhd, ocd, EDs and their specific struggles on the forum helps me a lot too. However currently, I have the biggest need of keeping the positivity in my life going, maintaining hope and focus on the things that are going well and truly matter, so focusing on more positivity focused support, encouragement and sharing my joy with others.
