✨Kudos to our founder Lauren Michelle Jackson, LCPC, CDVP () who was featured on a live segment with on where she gave her pov as a licensed therapist and relationship expert to break down the viral “Kiss Cam” moment that had the internet in shambles.

But baybee, we went deeper than just the memes. 👀

We talked about:
💔 Why public humiliation hits different.

🧠 Power dynamics within relationships.

🚩 Dating in the workplace and impacts it has in the company culture.

😔 Grieving the demise of a relationship in both professional and personal settings.

🛑 And what this moment revealed about accountability, communication and control.

A lot was unpacked within a few minutes, but we made it count 🙌🏾.

We are so grateful to bring a mental health lens to moments that spark public debate—and remind folks that how we relate to others often reflects what we’re still healing in ourselves.

✨TOMORROW MORNING!✨

Catch our founder Lauren Michelle Jackson, LCPC, CSCP LIVE on 11 Alive NBC News () at 9:45AM EST with news anchor Chesley McNeil as we unpack the viral Astronomer CEO + HR Director story through a mental health lens. 👀🧠

We’re diving into what happens when boundaries, workplace relationships, and leadership collide—and why your company’s culture cannot afford to ignore it.

📺 Tune in for a real, necessary convo on mental wellness in the workplace, how emotional intelligence impacts team dynamics, and what it really means to cultivate safe spaces—from the boardroom to HR.

Let’s talk about it. Because this isn’t just tea—it’s a teachable moment. ☕️💼

July is Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, and let’s be honest—Black women and women of color don’t just need awareness.

We need real support, culturally competent care, and safe spaces to exhale.

For generations, we’ve been praised for our strength while being denied our softness.

We’ve been taught to endure instead of express.

To hold it down for everyone else—even when we’re breaking inside.

And while the world tells us to “be strong,” we’re saying:

✨You deserve to be well.✨

🧠 Mental health for us looks different.

It’s hidden in the hustle.
It’s buried beneath the caregiving.
It’s camouflaged by achievement.
And too often, it’s left untreated—because we don’t see ourselves in the healing spaces we’re told to trust.

But at Cultivate Your Essence, we’re changing that.

We’re creating sacred, judgment-free space for you to be seen, held, and heard by people who understand the weight you carry.

So if you’ve been:
💡Feeling overwhelmed but brushing it off as “life”
💡Numb to joy but still showing up
💡Running on empty, but can’t seem to slow down
💡Longing for a reset, but don’t know where to start...

✨This is your sign. This is your month. This is your moment.✨

💚We’re accepting new clients for culturally responsive therapy and coaching.

🌿 Our Sacred Return to Self intensives are open for enrollment.

🧘🏾‍♀️ And we’re holding space for you to finally come home to yourself.

📲 Book your consultation today.

Your healing won’t wait—and neither should you.

Some goodbyes hit different…

Not because there’s bad blood, but because there’s so much love.

Watching spread her wings and venture out on her own is one of the most bittersweet moments we’ve had at CYE.

From day one, she brought heart, wisdom, and a spirit of excellence that helped shape this practice into what it is today.

She poured into our team. She guided our clients with grace.

And she always held space for us to rise—individually and collectively.

We’re not just saying goodbye to a colleague… we’re celebrating the launch of a legacy.

Jessica, your impact here is unforgettable. And while we’ll miss your presence, we already know you’re about to do even greater things.

You were never just a therapist—you’re a trailblazer.
We love you. We see you. And we’re cheering you on every step of the way. 💛

🌿✨ Honoring Black Women’s Healing & Power This Women’s History Month! ✨🌿

Black women carry generations of strength, resilience, and wisdom—but we also deserve healing, rest, and intentional love 💛.

This month, we’re speaking life into the women who do the work of breaking cycles, prioritizing their well-being, and reclaiming their joy.

Here’s what we affirm for you:

💡 Your healing is sacred. You are not meant to just survive—you are meant to thrive.

💡 You are worthy of love that pours into you. No more over-functioning in relationships that don’t serve you.

💡 Your voice is powerful. Take up space, assert your needs, and walk boldly in your truth.

💡 Rest is revolutionary. You don’t have to prove your worth through struggle—your peace is non-negotiable.

💡 You are changing generations. Every boundary you set, every moment of self-care, and every step toward healing breaks a cycle and builds a legacy.

🔥 Affirmation: “I am a healer, a leader, and a woman of transformation. My presence shifts narratives, my voice empowers, and my impact is limitless.”
