The Holding Space membership opens tomorrow.

A sacred community for anyone navigating grief, transition, identity shifts, or the quiet moments in between.

Launching on March 8 feels right — International Women’s Day, and the day my daughter would've been turning 30.

Her legacy lives in everything I create.

Founding Member enrollment still available.

Link in bio.

INjoy,

From a NYC blizzard to Kenyan sunshine, from Black History Month performances to a wedding full of joy…

February was a whole journey.
Grateful for every step that brought me into March with a full heart.

22 days until my birthday.

2 days until the membership launch.

Day 1 of my March reflections. On the road from Nanyuki to Nairobi, wrapped in blue, watching the landscape move and feeling the weight and wonder of this month.

March has always been a portal for me.

My birthday is in 27 days.
My daughter would be turning 30.
My book, 101 Ways to Live Life INjoy, turns 4 on March 8th.
My membership launches next week.
And today marks 10 years since my relationship with Kenya began — March 1st, 2016. The day everything shifted.

And now we enter Women’s History Month… a reminder that my story, my survival, my joy, and my becoming are part of that lineage too.

So much life, legacy, grief, joy, and becoming held inside one month… and inside this one bus ride.

March is calling me to pay attention.
To honor what has shaped me.
To celebrate what I’ve created.
To step into what’s next — INjoy.

Actual Sunday footage of me hyped for this week.
I love Mondays!

I know I posted this on a Tuesday Tuesday and my...

Energy is high. Spirit is ready.

Happy Fire Horse Year.
Happy Black History Month.
Happy Tuesday.
Happy life.
Let’s go!

Drop one thing you’re excited about this week.

Joy is a daily practice... not just a Friday mood.

I asked asked a lot of myself in January.

I committed to daily movement, the Miracle Lifesavers practice, rebounding, and even a 7-day juice fast.
I also got sick. Womp womp.

And still… I showed up.

This month reminded me that discipline isn’t about forcing.
It’s about listening.
Adjusting.
Choosing sustainability.

February will look different.
And that’s not failure, that’s wisdom.

If January taught you anything about your body, your energy, or your needs, I’d love to hear it.

I am a winner!
So are you!

Let’s celebrate your wins in the comments!

I’m not judging you.
I just wanted to get your attention 😏

If you’ve ever watched our podcast on YouTube, you already know —
my face tells the whole story.

These are all the faces I make when adults say the most ridiculous, tender, honest, heartbreaking, and sometimes offensive things out loud to us grievers.

Go listen to that one, the 'What do I say?' episode.

Yvette and I truly have a ball—with each other and with our guests.

We laugh, we cry, we listen deeply, and we talk about grief in a way that feels real, human, and necessary.

And while the clips are fun…
the full episodes are where the magic lives.

We’re about 15 episodes in now, and if you haven’t listened all the way through yet...

You already know where the link is. 😉

Listen when you walk. Cook. Drive. Breathe.

Then share it with a friend (or three).
Because these conversations matter.
