This upcoming Tuesday we will meet and discuss relationships. And not just romantic ones. We’ll discuss those, toxic ones, friendship break ups too. That last one might need its own category. But check the homework to complete over the next few days.

Let's Talk Tuesday is our time to get together and share. Each week I will bring you a theme that we will discuss and it's your chance to share, ask questions and talk through it if you choose. That's an option for you. Or you might decide you just want to come and get nuggets to parse through later on your own. This week's theme is values and relationships. Whatever the case, you really need to be a part of the discussion. The information is in the calendar.

Peace. I’m so glad you’re here. If you found your way to this space, I’m guessing you’re tired. Not just “I need a nap” tired — but soul-tired. The kind of tired that comes from holding everything together, being strong for everyone else, and losing yourself somewhere along the way. Maybe you don’t even know who you are anymore outside of what you do for other people. Maybe you have good friends, but there are things you can’t say out loud not to them, not to anyone really. Maybe you’re carrying trauma, burnout, or the weight of being overlooked again while everyone pretends not to notice. You’re not imagining it. And you’re not alone. The Joy Collective is a space for Black women who are done performing, done shrinking, and ready to come home to themselves.This isn’t about adding more to your plate. It’s not about being more productive or figuring out how to do it all better. This is about rest. Healing. Liberation. And reclaiming a life that actually feels like yours. Inside this community, you’ll find: ✨ Resources to help you release the “strong Black woman” script, understand your nervous system, and unlearn people-pleasing✨ Reflection tools to reconnect with who you are beneath all the roles you play✨ A sisterhood of women who get it — because they’re living it too✨ Permission to rest, to feel, to want something different, and to build it You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to show up. Start here: 1. Head to The Homecoming Circle and introduce yourself — we want to know you 2. Explore the modules in the Classroom and take what you need 3. Show up in the community threads when you’re ready — your voice matters here This space is yours. You belong here. And I’m honored to walk this path with you. Welcome home. — Lisa
