Personal Growth Through Reflection

by Lesley D. Nurse

About Refresh Your Bio

Refresh Your Bio is a personal development blog by author Lesley D. Nurse — for people navigating change in real, everyday ways.

Maybe you’re rethinking your style, preparing for a job interview, learning how to move on from a breakup with your dignity intact, or figuring out what still feels like you as life evolves. Some days it’s about confidence, aging with grace, or showing up differently. Other days it’s about loss, clarity, resilience, or simply getting through a moment with more ease.

Here, you’ll find thoughtful reflections, practical insights, and lived experiences — from the light to the layered — offered without pressure or perfection. This isn’t about reinventing yourself overnight. It’s about small shifts that help you feel more grounded, more aware, and more at home in who you’re becoming.

Take what resonates. Leave what doesn’t. Stay as long as you like.

Finding Strength When Every Door Feels Closed

Life doesn’t always pause to give us a break. Sometimes the storms come one after another until you’re convinced you can’t take one more thing. In this reflection, I share what I learned when running wasn’t an option, and the only choice left was to stop fighting God — and how that decision changed everything.

Answering the Call: An Unexpected Encounter That Inspired Me to Hire Myself

After finishing a long night of work, where I had hustled to make delicious drinks and earned tips matching my effort, I decided to take an Uber home. My car was in the shop, and I wanted to avoid public transportation. I asked my driver, Abbas, to stay on the phone until I found his car at the corner. We hit it off right away, and I was impressed by his kindness when he offered me a bottle of water.
