Ground in to Grow

The world has become so loud with the noise of chaos, change, and upheaval, that for many of us it has become harder than ever to hear ourselves.

Our real selves. Our soul selves.

Instead, many of us are inundated with an overwhelming voice that’s says, “I am not good enough” or “I’m not worthy of love” and find ourselves feeling helpless to help the world.

With so much individual and collective grief that has gone unrecognized for generations, and remains unrecognized today, it’s like unresolved loss becomes a heavy malaise over our hearts and clouds our minds. This fog hangs heavy in us and leaves us feeling disconnected from ourselves and others.

But here’s the thing: there is medicine in this wound. The answer is right before us.

When we open up our hearts to feel what’s been hiding underneath the fog of grief, and we do it with supportive community, something magical happens…

Grief gives way to the gifts of gratitude and joy.

Where there was isolation and loss, there becomes connection and love. Where there was heaviness, there becomes the lightness of joy. Where there was fog, there becomes the clarity of a sunny day.

If you’ve been feeling the heaviness of unrecognized grief and loss (of all kinds) and you’re ready to heal in a supportive community of sisterhood and rise into your next radiant version please join us for…

With Lexlee Overton — Lexlee Overton | Trial Lawyer, Author, Coach | Founder of Mind Over Law

I truly believe that we are each here for a purpose that is rooted in service to self and others.

I call this the “medicine” that you bring into the world.

And my work helps others to know why they are here – and to be better at whatever that calling is.

Running a successful business is just as much about personal growth as it is about the ins and outs of running your firm.

I have developed a system that creates awareness and empowerment for individuals and for teams.

My practices are based in ancient methods and in current neuroscience for creating change, and I use these methods to help my clients tap into a deeper inner wisdom: Even when the world around us is in chaos, the key to peace comes from within.

🏝️ Time to rest and integrate with the Aina (land) and Kai (ocean).
