Sometimes grief makes us feel like our feelings are fickle. Some days you’re feeling okay, and other days you’re not. And even years later, you may still have moments that feel as hard as some of the acute days of the initial loss. La Quanna Cooper’s reflection to honor where you are at and to meet your grief slowly is such a good reminder that grief doesn't have an end date, but it does evolve and can transform over time. 🎧 Don’t miss this episode and tune in on all platforms. by @poisedwellnessretreats

I so appreciate La Quanna Cooper's honesty in this episode, where she reminds us through her story that she tried to outrun the grief feelings she had until she couldn't and realized she had to honor them instead. She shares that avoiding her feelings through a regimented and full schedule could not distract or make her avoid all the griefy feelings she held, and instead she had to acknowledge grief in order to not just hold the weight of everything she was feeling and experiencing without some relief of releasing it too.🎧 So many gems are dropped in this episode, you don't want to miss it!

La Quanna Cooper in our most recent podcast episode said something that stayed with me about grief and boundaries: “I’m only pouring out, darling, of what’s extra out of my cup…If I’m just at the brim, baby, I don’t got much to give. But if there’s a plethora coming out of it, I’m gonna share that with you.” This is an important reminder to listen to the balance of our energy input and output we have for ourselves and others. Grief sometimes forces us to have to listen to our own boundaries and expectations, and it’s honest moments like this in this episode that connect back into what La Quanna speaks to of how she leads without losing herself.🎧 Don’t miss this episode and catch it on all platforms. by @poisedwellnessretreats

In this episode, Dana Daugherty invites her guest La Quanna Cooper @lifebyq to talk about how rest, ambition, and grief can coexist, and what it looks like to choose address your grief instead of not tending to it. After losing her mother several years ago, La Quanna found that travel, something deeply tied to her bond with her mom, became something that pushed her to trust herself and shed old ways of being that no longer served her. She learned to listen to her body, reset her boundaries, and commit to showing up differently so she was intentional about not leading with her wounds, but with her healing. Now, La Quanna channels her experience into wellness retreats designed to give others a safe place to land, process their emotions, and reconnect with themselves and community. In this episode we talk about grief, growth, and the courage it takes to re-root yourself.We also dedicate this episode in honor of La Quanna’s brother La Trez James Adrian Mitchell Cooper and hold La Quanna’s family in our thoughts and prayers this week 🤍🤍🤍You can find her on Instagram @lifebyq @poisedwellnessretreats and @fortheculturecoalition You can also check out her retreats online at www.posedwellnessretreats.com, or email her at poisedwellness@gmail.comTune in wherever you get your podcasts or tap our link in bio to listen.🎧 by @poisedwellnessretreats

@poisedwellnessretreats and I wanted to create a retreat that felt like an exhale. We know that we want to create the kind of space where your body finally unclenches, your mind slows down, and you remember what it feels like to be connected with and rooted in yourself again. Five days of ocean air, ritual, and rest in order to take an intentional pause to witness your becoming. 🌊We'd love to have you join us and have limited spots left! Sign up for The Becoming Experience at the link in our bio! by @poisedwellnessretreats

I’ve always known that if I wanted something, I had to go get it.If you know my story, you know my glory.Movement saved me from me. I didn’t find it until adulthood, when I could finally afford access to a gym and wellness spaces. That journey changed my life.Now, after years of leading movement in my community, I’m even more passionate because I know how powerful wellness can be when it reaches the people who need it most.For The Culture is one of my babies. It was created from my desire to build spaces for people I can relate to, identify with, and see myself in.Because the barriers in wellness are not just financial. They are cultural, historical, and systemic.My promise is to keep doing the work to close that gap. To create restorative wellness activations for people who need a soft place to land. A space to feel seen. A space to heal. A space to belong.With 🤎,Q by @poisedwellnessretreats

For a long time, I didn’t have rooms like this.Spaces where I felt seen.Spaces where my voice mattered.Spaces where community looked and felt like me.That experience shaped how I lead today. As a founder for @poisedwellnessretreats. Building an ecosystem for wellness hasn’t been easy but it’s been intentional. My work is rooted in creating spaces where people feel safe, seen, and understood, especially for those who have navigated environments where they didn’t feel reflected or supported.Being part of Built to Thrive hosted by @armoire.go is more than a panel opportunity it’s a reflection of what’s possible when women come together to lead, build, and create impact in wellness.I’m honored to share space with founders who are doing meaningful work and redefining what community, leadership, and wellness can look like.We all have a story behind our “why.”This is mine lived out in real time.If you’re building, searching for community, or stepping into your next level of leadership keep going. Spaces are being created with you in mind.And I remain committed to creating rooms where people don’t just show up but truly belong.#Leadership #WellnessLeadership #CommunityBuilding #WomenInBusiness #InclusiveLeadership by @poisedwellnessretreats
