    What does it look like to intentionally create space for renewal in a season that calls for clarity, release, and growth?In this episode of LITE It Up, I’m joined by Echo Muhammad, the curator behind EmpowerHer Soul: Renew & Rise Retreat — A Self-Love Sunday Experience, taking place Sunday, March 15th. Echo shares the why behind curating this soul-nourishing, one-day immersive retreat and what moved her to create a space designed to support women in releasing what no longer serves them and stepping fully into the woman they’re becoming.Our conversation explores purpose, self-love, embodiment, rest, and the power of being supported, seen, and held in community. As we transition into spring—a season of renewal and growth—Echo reflects on why slowing down, setting intentions, and reconnecting with mind, body, and soul is not a luxury, but a necessity.If you’re feeling stretched, overwhelmed, or standing at the edge of a new season, this episode offers both reflection and invitation. It’s a reminder that resetting is an act of self-love—and that you don’t have to do it alone.✨ EmpowerHer Soul: Renew & Rise Retreat📅 Sunday, March 15A curated, self-love Sunday experience focused on intention-setting, embodiment, rest, and renewal.✨ Early bird tickets for Renew & Rise (March 15th) ends Feb 15th and are going fast! 🎟 Tickets: https://www.ticketfalcon.com/e/empowerher-soul-presents-renew-rise-retreat-a-self-love-sunday-experience/

  • EP. 178 | 🎙️ Why This Is the Season to Reset—Before the Next Chapter Begins
    Feb 3 2026

    February often arrives quietly, but it carries powerful invitations for reflection, release, and renewal. In this solo episode, I share why this is a season to reset—not because something is wrong, but because something new is emerging.

    This conversation is an invitation to pause, listen, and intentionally prepare for what’s next without carrying the weight of the last chapter. If you’re feeling tired, reflective, or standing at the edge of transition, this episode offers grounding, perspective, and permission to reset with grace.

    📝 Reflection Questions

    You're invited to journal, reflect, or sit with these questions throughout the week:

    1. What am I still holding that no longer belongs in my next chapter?

    2. Where in my life am I rushing instead of allowing myself to reset?

    3. What kind of rest—emotional, mental, or spiritual—do I need most right now?

    4. How can I honor this season without pressure to have everything figured out?

    5. What would it look like to move forward feeling lighter and more aligned?
