hey y'all!** we're back with the evolved the unfolding, a monthly newsletter curated from the heart for you. here I'll share reflections for you and I, events and gatherings, and beautiful things I have witnessed. thank you for being here and unfolding with me. ✨

view past newsletters here.

the challenge with change is waking up every day, being presented with each moment, and not knowing if it's going to be the same or drastically different from the last. some moments i find myself deeply lonely and other moments i'm at ease in the sun's silent love. it calls us to both surrender and to act intentionally. change is one of the only things that we can anticipate will be constant in our lives. 

so how do we live within each moment, being present to all of the ands that exist, and still be whole? still become the fulfilled, wholehearted people we want to be?

every time i come back to this question, whether i am asking myself or asking others, one answer always shows up: 

which can sound so counter to the culture of "you gotta learn how to be by yourself"... but again it's the ands of this life. i don't know if this is fully the answer to my questions, but i'm willing to see what's hidden in the ands and within those relationships. 

in the gatherings below, you can too.

what ands am i wrestling with in this moment?

what do i find in my current relationships? how can they assist my living/ thriving?

what am i missing? what do i have available that i am not seeing?

events i'm working on for you to grow, cultivate, and discover within likehearted folx.

- classtrouble.club created this free zine: collective care and autonomy 101. grab it, work through it, and discover! #careformeandyou

- processing the cycle of liberation really has me thinking about how we move through these frameworks, finding liberation in, through, and outside of them as they assist us in #collectiveliberation.

No matter what you are facing and how you are feeling, I know one thing is true:

You are worthy of a full, well and whole life.

Even if the world tells you otherwise, they don't know the truth of your inherent worthiness. Sending you all love, compassion, and wholeness.

You ready to live a life based on what you deeply desire?

Let's shift into that together through my private one-on-one coaching.

**curious as to why I may have omitted capitalization? - lucille clifton inspired me.

"Standard English… is the language of conquest and domination; in the United States, it is the mask which hides the loss of so many tongues, all those sounds of diverse, native communities we will never hear...we create the ruptured, broken, unruly speech of the vernacular... There, in that location, we make English do what we want it to do. We take the oppressor’s language and turn it against itself. We make our words a counter-hegemonic speech, liberating ourselves in language.” - bell hooks taught me. & more here.
