From my heart to yours.💚

LOCAL VOICES, WHERE ARE YOU? 🎤💚

I'm curious about who's creating right here in our community.

Poets. Storytellers. Spoken-word artists. Acoustic musicians. Singers. And those wonderfully hard-to-categorize folks who simply have something worth sharing.

The Green Coterie is building Voices from the Living Room — intimate evenings where local voices can share their work in a comfortable space, followed by a little conversation and connection.

So this isn't exactly an audition or a formal casting call. I'm simply looking to discover who's out there.

If this sounds like you — or immediately made you think of someone — send me a DM. Tell me a little about what you do and, if you have one, send a link where I can see or hear your work.

Let's see who's out there. 💚

🌴 Thinking about Barbados? Come chat with me. ☕💚

I've gotten questions about our 2027 Barbados Women's Retreat—what's included, what the experience will be like, accommodations, payment plans, travel, and all the little things you naturally want to know before saying, “Yep, I'm going!” 😊

So I'm hosting a FREE virtual Barbados Tea & Travel Chat.

📅 Saturday, September 12
⏰ 10:00 AM
💻 Live on Zoom
☕ Bring your tea. Bring your coffee. Bring your questions.

I'll walk you through the retreat, share more about what we're creating, and answer whatever questions you have.

And listen—registering for the chat doesn't commit you to Barbados. This is simply an opportunity to learn more, ask your questions, and see whether this experience feels like something you'd like to be part of.

The retreat itself is intentionally small—just 8 women—so if Barbados has been whispering your name, come talk to me. 🌴

The Tea & Travel Chat is free, but registration is required to receive the Zoom link.

See you over tea. 💚

Curious about joining us in Barbados? Join us for a virtual Tea and Travel chat where we'll walk through our 2027 retreat.

We get so caught up with these social media folks... quick to type "relationship goals!!"

Mannnnn... Fck them "goals"!!!

Go your own path.

Take the information. Listen to the advice. Learn from other people's experiences. But then come back to yourself.

Stop trying to make your relationship look like somebody else's relationship. Stop adopting goals because somebody convinced you they're the goals you're supposed to have. Stop measuring your progress against somebody else's edited life. And trust me, it's definitely heavily edited.

Create your own goals. Decide what success looks like for you. Build relationships that work for the people actually in them. Change your mind when you need to. Take the long way if it's your way.

Be influenced if something resonates. Just don't be scripted.

Because at some point, you've got to turn the phone off and actually live the life you're posting about.

Did you know that organic black strap molasses is so freaking mineral dense that it carries 20% of all the daily minerals that you need in 1 tbsp? Iron, magnesium, copper, zinc, etc??

I put a little in my coffee to cancel out the taste.

What have you experienced that you stopped talking about because you couldn't explain it?

That's Unhidden.

Allow me to brag for a minute. 😊

Researchers at UCSF are exploring the idea that deep rest may be supported by more than simply sitting still and meditating. They’re looking at things like movement, music, art, nature, prayer, sensory surroundings, personal choice, social identity, and belonging—and how those things may help create the conditions for people to feel safe enough to truly rest.

And I’m sitting here thinking…well, look at The Green Coterie. 😂

I don’t have the degrees or research experience of the scientists studying this. I didn’t have their terminology, data, or fancy equipment when I created this space. What I had was lived experience, intuition, and an understanding of what it feels like when a space does—or does not—allow you to soften.

So I created a place with different ways to rest. Sound. Movement. Creativity. Conversation. Quiet. Play. Warmth. Choice. Sensory comfort. And, just as importantly, a place where people—especially Black and Brown people—could feel seen, considered, and like they belong.

Now research is coming along suggesting that this kind of environment may actually make sense.

It didn’t take a science degree for me to imagine The Green Coterie. It took paying attention to what people need, trusting what I knew through experience, and following the intuition that told me rest was never going to be one-size-fits-all.

Apparently, I’ve been out here creating an ecosystem for rest while science was still gathering the vocabulary. 😂💚

Tomorrow, I’m taking a little piece of The Green Coterie out into the community. 💚

I’ll be at the Health & Wellness Expo, and if you’ve ever wondered, “Okay… but what exactly happens at The Green Coterie?” — come see me.

I’m bringing a tiny taste of the Coterie experience with me. A little sound. A little connection. A little play. And maybe a moment to exhale in the middle of your day.

Come experience a bit of it for yourself. 😊

If you’re coming to the Expo tomorrow, stop by and say hello. I’d love to see some familiar faces — and meet some new ones. Remember to register! *see attached flyer

A Space. An Experience. A Community.

Okay… I may have been underselling Barbados a little. 😊🌴

This is the pool at our private retreat home.

Yep. This one.

Tucked into the lush hills of Barbados, surrounded by tropical greenery, with just 8 women joining us for a few days of rest, connection, laughter, good food and room to simply be.

April 9–13, 2027.

I just thought you should see where we're going. 💚

What parts of ourselves have we learned to question, suppress, or keep hidden because they didn't fit what we were taught to believe?

Unhidden: The Gifts We Don't Talk About is an open, grounded conversation about intuition, spiritual sensitivity, inner knowing, and the gifts we may carry but rarely feel safe discussing.

This isn't about assigning labels or convincing anyone what to believe. It's a space for curiosity, reflection, shared stories, and honest conversation.

Saturday, August 29 | 2–4 PM
The Green Coterie | Waldorf

Come curious. You don't have to come certain.

🎟️ Registration link below:

A safe conversation about questioning beliefs, trusting our inner knowing, and embracing the parts of ourselves we’ve been taught to hide.
