Do you ever replay the past in your mind, wishing you could've done something differently?
For a long time, I carried the weight of ""what ifs."" What if I had done things differently? What if I hadn't failed? I wanted to make the past different...rewrite my mistakes, fix what fell apart, hold together what was meant to end.
But healing started when I learned to own my story...ALL OF IT...without shame.
The moment I stopped trying to edit my past and started owning my truth, I got free.
When you release what was, you make room for who you're becoming.
Remember your story doesn't disqualify you, it develops you!
What part of your story or your journey are you ready to stop running from?
If you're ready to release what's been holding you back, say it with me: I own my story unapologetically. Then comment below ""I CHOOSE ME"" for the link to our free guide 7 Steps to Choosing Me Unapologetically to start on your journey.

Be honest...what's the first thing you say to yourself when you make a mistake? Does it sound like love...or criticism?
What you say to yourself every day becomes you reality. For years, I didn't even notice how harsh my inner voice was...having thoughts like, ""You're not doing enough,"" ""You're failing,"" ""You should've known better.""
But the truth is: the words you speak to yourself are shaping the life you live.
When I started replacing my self-criticism with compassion, saying things like:
“I am worthy.”
“I am evolving.”
“I choose me.”
EVERYTHING SHIFTED.
Those words became my medicine. Our self talk isn't background noise. It's our belief system speaking.
✨ Speak to yourself like someone you love because you are.
✨ Try this today: catch one negative thought and rewrite it into an affirmations that honors your growth.
What’s one affirmation you NEED to start saying to yourself daily? Share it with me and Let’s start speaking life over ourselves together.

She had never been to a wellness retreat before, but when a friend told her about the I Choose Me Unapologetically Retreat, she decided to see what it was all about.
Phyllis came with a full plate:
👉🏾family responsibilities

👉🏾home projects
and left with one key takeaway: Choose yourself unapologetically.
Everything else can wait. Your peace, joy, and restoration cannot. If you're ready to CHOOSE YOU first join us at our next reterat in Bali March 2026

Your phone can wait. Your peace can't.
Too many of us wake up and immediately give away our energy before we even get out of bed :
👉🏾scrolling social media
👉🏾checking notifications
👉🏾replying to messages
👉🏾checking in on everyone else’s needs before our own.
You deserve a morning that nourishes you first.
Own your morning by creating routines that reclaim your mind before the world takes it like take a few deep breathes, drink a cup of tea in silence, start a fratitude journal.
This is how you start choosing you...in the small, sacred spaces before the noise.
Try this: tomorrow morning, before you reach for your phone, reach for your peace.
Comment “I CHOOSE ME” if you’re ready to create a morning ritual that grounds you in gratitude.

Sis, your nervous system deserves peace. 🌿
We live in a world that glorifies the hustle, the grind, the next thing. But what about this moment...the one you’re breathing through right now?
Mindfulness isn’t just meditation or yoga...it’s the radical act of being here. Not replaying yesterday. Not rushing to fix tomorrow. Just allowing yourself to inhale, exhale, and exist without performing.
This week inside our EMPOWER Framework, we’re focusing on M for Mindfulness because peace starts with presence.
✨ A gentle reminder: You don’t have to earn your rest.
✨ You don’t have to prove your worth.
✨ You just have to be.
Take a deep breath, release your shoulders, and whisper to yourself, “I am safe to slow down.”

What happens when the strong one finally chooses herself?💛
Dr. Lynetta spent years taking care of everyone else... stepping into the role of family matriarch after losing her grandmother, carrying the pressures of work in a heavy political climate, and pushing through burnout. She had never even planned a vacation just for herself.
At the I Choose Me Unapologetically Retreat, she finally had space to breathe, stretch, rest, and discover joy again. From grounding practices to massages, even painting and coloring she remembered what it feels like to pour back into herself.
This is what choosing YOU looks like. Ready to experience it for yourself? 💛 Join us in Bali! Comment ""I CHOOSE ME"" for the link to sign up.

Sis… when you choose you, everything changes.
Your mental health. Your relationships. Your career. Your joy.
We were raised to believe choosing ourselves was selfish but the truth is, it’s the most powerful thing we’ll ever do.
This is your permission to stop shrinking. Stop proving. Stop waiting.
It’s time to become the woman you were always meant to be.

"Listen, I’m not supposed to be here. The statistics said I wouldn’t make it.
I grew up in East Oakland during the crack epidemic. My father was a pimp. My mother was trafficked. Trauma was all around me.
Watching all of that, I decided early: that will not be my life. So I pushed throughdegrees, career, doing everything “right.” But behind it all, I was running from the pain I carried.
What I’ve learned is this: achievement alone doesn’t heal. Choosing yourself, unapologetically, does. That’s the work I do now.
Sis, you don’t have to just survive through overachieving. 🌹 Join me at the ICMU Retreat and learn what real healing and freedom feels like. Comment “I CHOOSE ME” to sign up."

The first step in our EMPOWER Framework is Educate. 📝
Because before we can heal, rest, and rebuild we have to unlearn the lies we’ve been fed about our worth and our wellness.
At the I Choose Me Unapologetically Retreat, Renee walks women through this exact framework to reconnect with their joy, peace, and humanity.

Colette came into this retreat exhausted mentally, phsyically, emotionally, and spiritually. As an entrepreneur, a mother raising a teenager and a woman who wears so many hats, she was carrying so much.
What shifted everything for her? Sitting in circles, hearing other Black women share their truths, and realizing she isn't alone. Feeling real joy from listening and engaging with the other women present at the retreat.
That’s what the I Choose Me Unapologetically retreat gives: space to breath, reset, disconnect, rest, laugh, cry, heal, and to remember yourself beyond all of the roles and titles society has placed on us.
Sis if you’ve been pouring into everyone else this retreat is for YOU!

Exhausted to Empowered-90 Days to to Increase Your Confidence, Double Your Productivity and Skyrocket Your Energy.
I am a Success Mindset Coach, Licensed Therapist, and Program Manager. Wife to my Homie, Lover, Friend; mom to my mini-me, college bound 17-year old, and 5-year old Irish Terrier, Ginger.
I'm a straight shooter coach, mentor, and therapist that KNOW-You can have it ALL, yes it ALL. (even if you didn't think it’s possible). You can have a successful, fulfilling career AND personal life. Guess how I know? Not only have I done it, but that is exactly what I help my clients get.
I work with successful-on-paper, high achieving professional women who feel drained and stuck in a life that is not fulfilling and exciting. The problem is they are being pulled in 50 million different directions, they know there is more to life but they're not sure where to start and the steps to get them there.
I help them LEVEL UP, overcome their ‘inner critic’ that causes the overwhelm and the doubt, ignite their Courage and Confidence and gain clarity of their WHY so that they create their ideal sense of success, balance, fulfillment, love, abundance, and fun.
I’m from Oakland, CA, had a rough childhood, significant challenges as an adult and on this journey I’ve transformed my trauma. I have an edge, I have to...so you can get the results you want. Iron sharpens iron. My clients tell me that I’m especially good at:
✅Uncovering subconscious beliefs, patterns, problems and solutions
✅Making the complicated and complex easy to get
✅Cutting through the BS, background noise and the excuses that keep you stuck
That is my PASSION, this is my PURPOSE...... helping you find yours..It’s what I do, it’s my Superpower. I help my clients break the shackles and get in action, not just any action...MASSIVE ACTION. Their Mindset Makeover creates unlimited possibilities and empowers them to take control and manifest the life they want.
After working with me my clients have:
Clarity of purpose, rejuvenated well-being, reignited love, regained confidence in themselves and control over their lives.
Have questions or interested in how we can work together to create your life by design, and not by default, book a free breakthrough session. We can discuss what's holding you back from getting the results you want.
