✨ Autonomy vs. togetherness ✨

Even though the peak of the Virgo/pisces eclipse took place mid-March, we're set to be in the karmic lessons and feeling the energy of it for 6 months after! 

So no, it's not irrelevant to listen to episode 23 with our unofficial resident astrologer extraordinaire, @millymichelle 😌

Since I'm a Virgo rising, I think the description of what she read for me (the axis of the self vs. the other) could relate to the collective too! 💫

You tell me, have you been feeling this tension between alone time vs. wanting to be with others?? I'm very curious 🧐 drop your rising sign in the comments!

It was the best of times ✨🥹

Nearly 2 months ago, 5 women came together for the inaugural momentum magic group coaching program!

These amazing ladies showed up!

They shared openly (no small feat)
They took action towards their goals 
They reflected on limiting beliefs and unhelpful patterns
They set boundaries
They hosted an irl event (self-love in bloom 💖)
They crafted a pitch deck for their app
They took strides to improve their sleep
They pivoted
They quit an unaligned job and moved into a whole new field
They prioritized their health 

They got honest with themselves about what's important to them and did it all in community!

It was an honor to lead them week after week. I'll always cherish my cohort 1 bbs 💖

Stay tuned! I just may host another group coaching experience later this year. Dm me if you wanna get in on that action 🫶🏾

Felt ✨lucky✨ to catch the final balance black girl live event which kicked off the rebrand of She's So Lucky 🍀 with an inspiring convo between @lesalfred and @msnewslady

the energy and community in the room was unmatched! Black girl magic everywhere you turn 🥰💕 had an amazing time!

Some learnings:

🧠 sometimes you have to take an unlikely opportunity to preserve your autonomy (and your side biz that you want to one day make your main biz)
🧠 always negotiate and hold firm to your price 👏🏾
🧠 it's okay to start and stay small for a while when growing your online presence (you have more freedom to find your footing that way!)
🧠 advocates and mentors are invaluable along the way, you don't have to go it alone!

As a fan of balance black girl for yearssss, this was so cool to attend 🥰 looking forward to the more and more chances to align with cool creative women of color in dc and beyond💕 @shessoluckypod

[freebie inside] Get ya coaching heeeya!! 🙋🏾‍♀️

If you're looking for someone to help you:
🌸 gain clarity on your goals
🌸 help you find aligned and fulfilling ways to go after them (that won't burn you out)
🌸 help you process through limiting beliefs and release old stories holding you back

 ----- I'm ya girl! 🙏🏾🥰😌💗👏🏾

We had such an amazing time in momentum magic (recap post forthcoming) and it rly got me pumped to go deeeeeep into 1:1 coaching so we have plenty of time to create massive momentum and flow with magic along the way ✨💫

The first 2 people who claim it get a free 1-hr coaching session with me on whatever topic is bothering you the most right now.

Coaching can help you shift your mindset on anything but some things I've helped with before include:

- relationships with parents, children, coworkers, strangers
- putting out a new creative project into the world
- getting a new more aligned job
- feeling more hopeful and optimistic after a setback
- struggling with overwhelm, perfectionism, and overthinking 

What area of life is bugging you the most right now? Shoot me a dm and let's chat! 😘
