The Regulated Entrepreneur: Building Your Business Without Burning Yourself Out.

The growth in the Hampton community has been tremendous.

They took such great care of our Founder as a visiting scholar.

What does your crash out look like? And how can we regulate it?

Dysregulated vs Regulated.

Minimizing stress while affirming ourselves 💙⚓️

At Ivy, there’s room for your questions, your joy, your weariness, your laughter, your worship, and your _______.

No pretending. No perfect people. Just a community of believers seeking God together.

If you’ve been needing a place to breathe, pray, worship, heal, or reconnect with God and community…maybe this is your sign to come visit us this Sunday. ❤️

Well…a time was had over the weekend. But it’s not that a chapter has closed, but many new chapters are being written. I’m sooo blessed to have witnessed my daughter become a @_hamptonu Alum. From a child, she chased her dream, and now it’s reality. The only thing that amasses how proud I am is the amount of humility I have for being a part of this journey. My precious Snickers, you’ve proven yourself, forget what anyone else says or thinks — as your biggest critic, YOU’VE done it!! So just KNOW there’s NOTHING in this world you cannot accomplish. Love ya baby girl @youknownay_ #HamptonUniversity #graduate
