Founder & CEO: Mom, medicine woman, writer.

Hi, I’m Tyler. Welcome to my online community. I’m very honored to be sharing this space with you.

Quite a few things fill me up with meaning and passion. I spend a lot of time thinking about the variables shaping urban living, sustainability, and conscious life of impact. I’m a huge advocate for holistic health, self-care, and sovereignty.

Intense, passionate, and imaginative in the ways that I express myself; I love to indulge.

Writing came into my life by way of therapy, self-reflection, hedonism, and creative self-expression. What started as a safe space to vent, muse, evolve, and dream has turned into something much bigger than me. A responsibility. A purpose.

The nature of plant-medicine found her way to me by means of very intimate measures (to say the least). My relationship with herbalism is much more than its powerful gift to cure ailments. It’s a matter of calling on ancient wisdom, doing my due diligence, and connecting to a heart and mind space that has been terrorized and programmed for too long. — Healing the collective and re-creating the world my son has come to bring balance to. The nature of all of my work intertwines with this.

My mission is to curate spaces to help people find the freedom to show up for their life’s mission, whichever ways their creative energy sees fit. To help them remember and surrender to the purpose(s) they came earth-side with before the trauma of birth and conditioning made them forget.

My brand is dedicated to inspiring you to live well. Whatever that means to you.

See you on the other side.

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME FOR THE INSPIRED READER:

The Conscious Diet

Summer of 2013, I made the personal decision to eliminate meat from my diet. It wasn’t trendy at the time, and I didn’t feel like I had much of a community, but it gave me something to take pride in. Something to feel good about. Unbeknownst to me, that was the beginning of my spiritual journey. Now, several years later, preferring to refrain from labels, I consider myself subscribing to a conscious and intuitive diet, where I listen to the needs of my body.

Diet is not only what you eat, but also what you watch, read, wear, listen to, and associate with. We have a responsibility to be conscious of what we digest and project onto the world — in that, I am very intentional about my mental, spiritual, emotional, and virtual diet.

I believe that the inability to expand and alter your mindset is a form of stagnancy. I’m at a point in my spiritual journey where I have released any attachments to labels, diets, groups, and practices. I have reached the point where I submit to my constant evolution and no longer need any of those to define me. As long as I am living as my authentic self and consciously listening to the needs of my body and the (other) worldly connections around me, I am whole, healthy, flourishing, and leading a virtuous path.

The Shy Exhibitionist

I’m a lot shyer than people realize. I’ve also always wanted to be an actress or a professional dancer (sounds contradictory, right?). It’s not.

Not everyone knows this about me. In fact, hardly anyone knows this. Say, maybe, three or four people? Including my mom.

I have always felt that I carried the souls of many others inside of me. That I gazed at the world through thousands of eyes, felt it through many hearts, and carried stories and dreams, emotions and traumas, joys and songs, and signs and symbols of the women here before and after me. I’ve always had parts of me that remained dormant until I would reluctantly give it permission to awaken — through dance, acting, or writing.

Theater manifested itself early in childhood. I curated talent shows and mini skits for friends and family, I took lead in school plays, and on my own time, you couldn’t tell me I wasn’t in a dance video or dramatic movie scene with the soundtrack to match. I could make myself cry at the drop of a hat. I’m very good at illusions and I love visual storytelling. Communicating is my forte. I have no limits.

Being a writer, I connect emotionally. And having the natural ability to act and perform, I connect visually and aesthetically. Performing was always an inspiration for me to challenge myself to exercise my ambivert ways.

“It’s never too late”, they say.

The Archer

My Sun is in Sagittarius and according to the time my mom says I was born, my Moon, Pisces. I have it on my to-do list to request a new birth certificate with my birth time but (1) I am the biggest procrastinator ever and (2) it actually feels quite accurate. I have big dreams and a creative vision with passion and fire to make things happen. In turn, I have learned to allow my dreams to show up in ways that aren’t exactly how I pictured them. It’s about the feeling, not the outward appearance.

Being the Archer, my purpose on earth is to project my mind outward. I am always on a vision quest. Seeking new ideas and philosophies. For me, it’s all about finding the meaning of life, and my Saturn in Aquarius is probably the reason for my eccentricity in doing so.

I am extremely self-reflective; always looking for an opportunity to adventure and know myself better so that I can become more aware of my patterns, intentions, and motivations. I’m always looking for ways to reprogram my conscious mind. I love to travel, new experiences, and I can be quite complicated.

The Millennial

Like the majority of my generation, I was indoctrinated to believe that college was a necessity to succeed. With a deeply rooted passion for both science and veterinary medicine, I attended the first HBCU and obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Biology with a concentration in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Halfway through college, I started to feel incomplete and deprived of creative freedom. I had the urge to change the course of direction but didn’t trust the source and wasn’t confident in my ability to carry out the lifestyle the divine was showing me. So, I allowed apprehension to be the catalyst for finishing what I had already started, completely ignoring my intuition. Being the perfectionist that I am, I suffered in silence but academically, I excelled.

In hindsight, I made a bad economic decision, ignored my intuition, and gave in to false pride by convincing myself that dropping out of college would define who I was and taint my ‘image’. Knowing what I do now, I would have honored my truth, never went to college, studied abroad, and lived off of cash. All on my own terms.
