🌻🍉🌞🎇 Academy Awards July 2026 🌻🍉🌞🎇

A Month Growth, Gratitude, Warmth, Community and Celebrating 7 Cups’ 13th Birthday

July arrives with bright days, warm energy, and that gentle reminder that growth doesn’t pause just because the world slows down for summer. In the Academy, this month feels like a blend of reflection and momentum — a time when trainees keep showing up with dedication, mentors continue guiding with patience, interns bring fresh curiosity, and leaders hold the space with clarity and care.

Growth isn’t always loud — sometimes it’s the quiet consistency, the gentle reminders, the willingness to try again, or the simple act of being there when someone needs clarity or reassurance. And that matters deeply.

🎉🎂💙 July arrives with sunshine, steady growth, and something extra special this year — 7 Cups celebrates its 13th birthday. For thirteen years, this community has been a home for healing, learning, support, kindness, and connection.  Thirteen years of people showing up for one another in ways that truly matter. The Academy carries that legacy forward and reflects that same spirit every day through trainees, mentors, interns, and leaders who bring patience, encouragement, and heart to their roles. July here at 7 Cups is our chance to celebrate and honor the people who helped others feel grounded, supported, and confident during their journey and those who made a difference. 🎉🎂💙  

I hope July brings you confidence in your abilities, warmth in your connections, and the courage to keep moving forward at your own pace. I’m grateful for the teamwork, compassion, and dedication that continue to shape this community.

And with that, I’m thrilled to announce this month’s nominations.
