Flourish | Charlotte
Flourish - to grow; to bloom; to THRIVE.
How do you keep moving forward? How do you flourish?
Authentic Connections
This year’s Flourish 2024 Event was in Queen City, Charlotte, NC and it was nothing short of empowering. The Founder, Tatiana Cole, Income Strategist, Coach and Speaker, traveled from Massachusetts to Charlotte. She made sure Flourish wasn’t just an event for women to come together to listen and watch, no this was activating. Activating your abilities and ambitions to live.
It was a beautiful moment for all present, but it was also a statement. To flourish is to give women permission to see, acknowledge, and decide that they too have all that they need to succeed. The very idea and choice to be bold and brave enough to develop and thrive is their choice to make.
During Flourish 2024, Women shared pieces of their stories. Impactful women such as Chimere Neal and Whitney Dodds discussed mental health and wellness. Shemaine Pickens, PreShus Lee, and Shajarazade Rodriguez discussed present battles and the importance of faith and honoring isolation. What a time to be in a room sharing, connecting, and influencing. Hearing real stories and bonding through strength and determination. Flourishing is knowing you can and will succeed. It’s knowing that you are always evolving and changing and allowing the process to be the process. It's loving the old you, but burying her once her time has ended. Recognize that there's beauty in you and your experiences.
Always Evolving
Start where you are and sustain. See and learn every aspect of you: Mind, body, and life. A breakthrough may be this great happening, but it may very well be a mere shift in action in a different direction. You can go hard for yourself then for those most important. Pour into yourself first. And be open to things happening simultaneously. It's ok to take things as they come and lean into what and who gives you strength. Let things be about your journey and growing as a person--as a Woman. It’s every aspect of you increasing and growing.
You Matter
Know that you are always evolving and changing. It’s a good thing. A really good thing. Who you are and how you show up matter because you matter. Be intentional and take up space. No really, no shrinking allowed. And connect with women near you and be intentional about connections. Connections through seeing another woman, hearing another woman, and being there for another woman. Let connecting be authentic and welcoming. That's how you Flourish. Cultivate conversations and know that there's freedom in flourishing. Success leaves tips. When you hear from women about their journeys, you may not need something now, but another woman’s experience may save and serve you later.
A final tip and word from the Founder herself, Tatiana Cole: “You’re one decision away from your breakthrough.” Remember, C.P.R.: Connection, Permission, and Resuscitation. Connect with self first. Give yourself permission and activate your authority. Resuscitate your life through reviving and doing more of what you love.
Be intentional with your actions. What's happening to you and for you is necessary. Think of your actions and life, and also the experiences of the Women in your tribe and community.
Tatiana is already planning for the next conference where new stories will be shared, more authentic connections and more impact. Until then, be Women of intention.
Flourish.
