Featured Leader: soulsings

Our next December Leader is… *drumroll*... @soulsings!
Soul has been a part of the 7 Cups family since 2015 and has contributed to the building and development of several projects over the years. Soul’s patience and compassionate nature embody what it means to be a mentor. Here’s what our nominee said + some shoutouts!
Why are you nominating this person?
- For their constant efforts to grow and support the site and also growing the 7cups online therapy.
- They helped me to move forward by supporting me, and being available to chat with me.
In 3 words, Soul is
- Compassionate, well organized, knowledgeable
- Faithful, available, caring
“Soul has been an exemplary leader and ambassador. Over the years, they have helped the community by bringing awareness and support for the 50+ community. They also host very enlightening mindfulness discussions aimed to help find unity and support as a group. Soul also has been a great advocate for the Therapy domain at 7 Cups. Overall, Soul is a caring, supportive leader who invites different ideas and finds strengths in every team player as well as community users. We feel very proud to feature them!”
“Soul has been such a positive, inspiring and thoughtful therapy ambassador for many years now. He is always pleasant, kind, helpful and attentive. He has successfully run many therapist-led events to give back to the community. He truly cares and it shows. I have loved working with him and learning from him. Each time we interact, it’s something I enjoy and he is such a positive and calming influence in the community. I’m so privileged to know you, Soul. Keep working your magic.” (Lisa)
We asked Soul a few questions!
One fun fact about you:
Half of the members that review me refer to me with the pronoun she and half with he. So I may be the first hermaphroditic Listener at 7cups! Empathy and compassion are not gender based. Anyone can express those qualities. Anyone can be a good listener with practice. To me gender is not important but being a compassionate, kind person is the foundation of being happy and making others happy too.
Favorite quote or song -
My favorite song is very difficult because it depends on what mood I am in. When I am in the party mood I like Celebrate

When I am feeling like the world is against me I love The Impossible Dream

When I am alone and introspective and feeling a little perplexed "It's Not Easy Being Green" is comforting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlyUPxp4R2Q
What is your proudest 7 Cups achievement?
The thing at 7cups that gives me the biggest thrill is when a member comes with a need to be heard and we chat and they tell me "I feel better after talking with you!" That is something I will remember for my entire life.
