Ladies Chat & Chew

03/30/2026

Can we be honest for a minute?

You’ve been holding it together. At work. At home. At church. For everybody but yourself.

And two hours at Chat & Chew helps. It really does. We’ve seen it! Women walk in exhausted and walk out lighter. But you know what two hours CAN’T do? It can’t undo years of putting yourself last.

You asked….WE ANSWERED…..THE RETREAT IS HERE.

Our monthly Chat & Chew opens the door. The retreat walks you all the way through it.

In April, come sit with us. Eat. Talk. Breathe. Remember what it feels like to be seen.

In July, come away with us. Three days at Eaglewood Resort & Spa. Three 90-minute workshops. A keynote. A facilitator panel. A commitment circle. And 49 other women who are done performing and ready to heal.

👉 Retreat Registration (Early Bird $200): https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/ladies-chat-and-chew-retreat

Start with a meal. End with transformation.

Ladies, let me ask you something—and I'm asking myself too:

Are you healing or are you just managing?
Are you processing your pain or performing it?
Are you advocating for others or avenging your own unresolved hurt?

These are the questions we're sitting with at the next Ladies Chat & Chew: "Unhealed: What Happens When We Don't Do the Work."

Because here's the truth: hurt people hurt people. And wounded women—can wound entire communities without even realizing it.

Let's break the cycle. Together.

✨ R.O.S.E.S. Ministry & Ladies Chat & Chew Present ✨

FEBRUARY 2026 FAST: "Love by Design"

Sisters, we're calling you to join us for a month-long spiritual fast this February!

WHY DO WE FAST?

As Black women of faith, fasting is more than personal discipline—it's spiritual EMPOWERMENT, communal HEALING, and holy RESISTANCE. Our foremothers knew that fasting was a way of "making a way out of no way." We continue in that sacred tradition.

🖤 We fast for LIBERATION — resisting systems that have oppressed our bodies and spirits

🖤 We fast for COMMUNITY — interceding for our families, church, and neighbors

🖤 We fast for CULTURAL RECLAMATION — connecting with ancestral wisdom

🖤 We fast for EMPOWERMENT — sharpening our spiritual senses to hear God clearly

🖤 We fast for HEALTH — caring for bodies too often neglected or devalued

🖤 We fast for TRANSFORMATION — breaking destructive habits and making room for the new

Through fasting, we OWN our bodies. We choose what enters. We choose what we release. This is not restriction—this is FREEDOM.

📅 THE FEBRUARY FAST:
• Meatless Monday — Honor the temple
• Text-Free Tuesday — Reconnect with God
• Water Only Wednesday — Purification (6 AM–6 PM)
• Take Time Thursday — Pray every 5 hours
• Forgiveness Friday — Release and let go
• Salad Only Saturday — Nourish the body
• Sabbath Sunday — Worship and rest

Join us as we love BY DESIGN.

Boundaries
What you will and will not allow. They protect your peace and define how others can treat you.

Standards
The level you hold yourself and others to. Standards reflect your values and self-respect.

Expectations
What you reasonably anticipate based on communication, behavior, and consistency.

Intent
The purpose behind your actions—why you’re engaging, dating, or building with someone.

Put together:
Boundaries protect your standards, standards shape expectations, expectations reveal intent.

Think your property taxes are too high? You're not alone—and the deadline to appeal is this week.

The Chicago Reporter put together a step-by-step guide to filing an appeal with the Cook County Board of Review. Whether you've never done this before or just want to double-check your process, this will walk you through it.

With one day remaining for Cook County residents to file a property tax appeal, we’ve created a guide to appeal for those who haven’t submitted their appeal yet – and for those who want to check it twice. This year, property taxes spiked across Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, hitting home...

I’m thankful for the miracle that is YOU!

Be gracious with yourself today.

When you take a moment to rest, whose voice comes to mind? 🤔

Is it the nagging whisper of your own thoughts, or is it that louder voice from a world that demands your constant hustle without ever offering a break in return?

In a society that often equates busy-ness with worth, it's vital to challenge that narrative. Rest isn't selfish; it's necessary for our well-being and productivity. 💪✨

Join the conversation! What does rest mean to you? Do you find it hard to take a break, or have you mastered the art of slowing down? Share your thoughts and let's support each other in redefining our relationship with rest!

Take a breath, and remember: your worth is not measured by your output. You deserve this moment.
