I am taking the liberty to cancelling tonight's Patio Chat - a dear friend of our is fighting for his life and my husband and I want to go sit with them tonight. Pray for his heart to start working and for the Drs to understand what is causing the problem. Pray for his wife and kids. Thank you for understanding!

What emotion(s) are you trying to avoid? This month we are going to start tending to ourselves and those emotions we find hard to sit with, process, and feel. So many women spend a vast majority of time taking care of everyone else, keeping all the balls in the air, and afraid of being a disappointment or not enough. You are the woman whose heart needs tended to so you can be the best mom, wife, daughter, employee, employer, caretaker, etc you can be. No one else will make time for you if you don't... Grab a journal and start paying attention - Notice the irritations - the things you avoid - the undercover resentment - the thoughts that trigger your insecurities... Get curious about them, not in a way that produces shame, but with compassion and curiosity.. Share 👇 What emotion do you find hardest to sit with?

🦋Curiosity softens resistance.. 🦋Curiosity creates space.. 🦋Curiosity helps us understand ourselves rather than fighting against ourselves.. When difficult emotions show up most of us try to push them away or circle around them.. What if, when those emotions surface you ask, "What is this feeling trying to tell me?" Today's Reflection: If your anxiety, fear, anger, or frustration had words, what would it be saying?

Every woman carries stories... 🦋 Stories about who she should be 🦋Stories about what make her valuable 🦋Stories about what she's allowed to do or want Some of these stories were handed to her before she had a voice or a choice to discern who she really is. The question today is: Which stories serve you and which stories are keeping you stuck? ✨Today's Reflection and Journal Prompt: "What belief about myself am I ready to question"? If you're feeling brave, share it 👇

Welcome to Wings & Blooms 🦋🌻 I’m so glad you’re here. If you’ve found your way into this space, chances are you are an oldest daughter who spent years: 🫣Quieting your voice to keep the peace 🫣Ignoring your desires to meet everyone else’s needs 🫣Hiding your true self so you're not too much 🫣Feeling the nudge that there has to be more—but not knowing how to access it This community exists for that woman. Wings & Blooms is about learning to LEAD yourself from within—with intention, awareness, and courage—so you can grow wings and bloom into a life that feels free, aligned, and meaningful. What This Space Is ✨ A safe place to listen to your inner voice ✨ A growth-centered community rooted in honesty and compassion ✨ A space to identify beliefs that no longer serve you ✨ A place to practice leading yourself before leading others What This Space Is Not 🚫 Hustle culture 🚫 Perfection or performance 🚫 Pressure to be “fixed” You are not broken. You are becoming. Our Shared Intention We believe that when a woman learns to: Lead herself with awareness Honor her desires Speak her truth Respond instead of react She doesn’t just change her life—she creates impact in every space she touches. How to Get Started 🌿 Introduce yourself in the comments or the Introductions space 🌿 Share one thing you’re hoping to reclaim in this season (voice, peace, clarity, confidence, freedom, etc.) 🌿 Show up imperfectly—presence matters more than polish You don’t need to earn your place here. You don’t need to be ready. You just need to be willing. Welcome to Wings & Blooms. Let’s lead from within, grow wings, and bloom free—together 🦋🌻 — Verna 💛
