✨ FEEL GOOD FRIDAY: Choosing joy, together! ✨

Our latest Women United Courageous Conversation brought women together for an evening of connection, reflection, and JOY!

Led by Coach Leah Owens, Founder of The Essence Collective, we explored what it means to choose joy intentionally and how the way we live each day becomes part of the legacy we leave behind.

Leah challenged us to think about what it would look like if women intentionally lived out their legacy, allowing our values to show up in how we live, love, lead, and advocate for change. She also encouraged women to reframe the narrative for the next generation, so our daughters don’t grow up believing they have to work themselves to exhaustion to be successful.

And, of course, we made room for a little joy along the way! 💕 Attendees created their own Joy Jars filled with reminders of four kinds of joy: moments, wins, people, and activities that bring them happiness & joy. 🫙✨

Our biggest takeaway? Joy doesn’t have to be something we wait for. We can notice it, make space for it, and choose it on purpose.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for such a feel-good evening!

🌀 September is National Preparedness Month!

Here on the Emerald Coast, being prepared means being hurricane ready. While we can’t control the weather, we CAN take steps now to make sure our families, homes, and neighbors are ready when a storm threatens.

Before the next storm, take a few minutes to:

✅ Make a plan. Know where you’ll go, how you’ll communicate, and what your family, pets, or loved ones may need.
🎒 Build or refresh your disaster kit. Florida recommends having at least 7 days of food, water, medications, and other essential supplies.
🌀 Know your evacuation zone and where you’ll go if an evacuation is ordered.
📲 Sign up for local emergency alerts and follow Okaloosa County and Walton County Emergency Management for trusted updates.
💙 Know where to turn for help. Dial 211 to connect with local community resources and services before, during, and after a disaster.

Helpful resources:
👉 Okaloosa County Emergency Management: myokaloosa.com/emergency-management
👉 Florida Disaster Preparedness: floridadisaster.org/planprepare
👉 Okaloosa County Alerts: alertokaloosa.com
👉 Walton County Emergency Management: co.walton.fl.us/1063/Emergency-Management
👉 National Hurricane Center: nhc.noaa.gov

A little preparation today can make a BIG difference when a storm is on the way. Okaloosa and Walton counties, let’s get hurricane ready! 💪💙
