I know life gets busy—
juggling 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤, 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲, 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬, and 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞’𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬.

And sometimes love doesn’t fall apart…
𝐢𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐭.

You’re doing life together,
but the 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤-𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩
and the deep talks turn into 𝐭𝐨-𝐝𝐨 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬.

𝐖𝐞 𝐈𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠 was originally made for couples as a reminder to 𝐩𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞, 𝐚𝐬𝐤 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, and 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭—before life creates distance.

You don’t lose each other all at once.
You lose each other 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞.

Sometimes you just need a little sip and a reminder of 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞. 😂🍷👑
This crown tumbler hits different — one sip and I’m choosing peace and minding my business like royalty.

Whatever’s in your cup… counts. 😅

I’m doing a series through the end of December focused on the two things that changed my life: my products + my boundaries.

Each week, I’ll share short videos highlighting a product I created and the boundary that inspired it, protected me, or helped me reclaim my peace.

With so much happening in the world, this series is my way of ending the year soft, intentional, and honest—and stepping into 2026 with more clarity, rest, and joy.

If you’ve been wanting to understand the why behind Mind the Crown, this is the time to lean in. ♥️

To be a doula today is to stand in the gap. To protect Black women’s dignity, to affirm our livelihood, and to make sure our birthing journeys are held with the care we deserve.

The Doula Passage Program (DPP) is a 15-week in-person training paired with a full year of mentorship to help you grow your doula practice.

You’ll graduate with culturally competent skills to support pregnant women and families across Nebraska.

Applications close Nov. 28!

𝐓𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬. 👜

A few days ago Gina sent me this photo — her and at an event, both carrying This Bag Carries Boundaries. One in 𝐄𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐝 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧, the other in 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤.

It wasn’t planned or posed… just two women showing up, protecting their peace, and making boundaries look beautiful.

𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧’𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐞. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭. 💚🖤

She looks soft.
Until you realize she carries boundaries.

This isn’t just a bag —
it’s a reminder that self-respect is luxury.

👜 THIS BAG CARRIES BOUNDARIES.
Structured. Debossed. Quietly powerful.

For the woman who loves softly, leads boldly, and no longer performs exhaustion as proof of worth.

$40 off ends tomorrow.
You won’t see this price again.

Not while driving. Not while cleaning. Not in the background.

𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭. 𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝.

I was in the middle of prepping the house for sale and something told me to 𝐬𝐢𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧. Coltrane came on. Then MJ. And I let the music hold me.

That’s 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 energy.
That’s 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 without a checklist.
That’s 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞.
