Flourish from Within, LLC is my coaching practice. Through this work, I aim to assist Black women in the sacred work of nourishing the spirit and cultivating a rich, fecund inner life. The spirit is the seat of all wellness, inspiration, connection and love. When the spirit is depleted, it restricts one’s ability to flourish in life, love, vocation, service, and activism. Conversely, when the spirit is well, grounded, and full, we create an inner environment that is ripe for flourishing, fulfillment and satisfaction.

I’m deeply curious about the conditions that make our flourishing possible. My heart and spirit are grieved over the death-dealing realities that seek to destroy Black women, on every level and in every sense. I view my coaching practice as a laboratory to discover what flourishing means to Black women, and to collaborate with my clients to cultivate flourishing in their lives.

My Coaching Practice

My Coaching Philosophy

I believe that each of us are in possession of an intuitive knowledge of our ourselves, our circumstances, and how to navigate them. Unfortunately, our shared and personal traumas and disappointments have caused us to become disconnected from what we know. We become distrusting of our intuition, and we lose sight of our bodies as a primary site of discernment. As a coach, my work is to guide my clients back to their intuitive wisdom, knowledge and understanding, provide tools to uproot any distrust, and to hold space for cultivating the courage to move freely in accordance to, in the words of Howard Thurman, the sound of our own genuine.

Then, and only then, can flourishing take place.

My Coaching framework

Born out of my own experiences of recovering from divorce, vocational trauma, and a slew of interpersonal losses, my framework is built on the premise that flourishing is a choice and a practice. I have discovered that agency is a life-saving and life-giving tool that many Black women must work to reclaim. We may pray for healing, movement, and actualization, but our prayers must be matched by our work. We do the lifesaving work of showing up for ourselves, by tapping into our agency.

Theories and ideas are powerful for shifting and broadening the mind, but it is the practice that yields transformation. Moreover, it’s the daily practice, and the regular reflection on those practices, that renders a changed life over time. Therefore, my framework is a combination of theories, ideas, and practices that span six essential life arenas: spiritual wellness, mental wellness, physical wellness, creative wellness, vocational wellness, and communal wellness. My clients will be challenged to reflect on their inherited values, beliefs and habits in these areas, and critically reflect on the stories they’ve told themselves about these areas. By the end of our coaching journey, my clients will have a customized Flourishing Plan to assist them in their ongoing work.
