A life lived with intention is one of alignment, authenticity, and purpose.
Hi! I’m Cherika, and I’m so glad you’re here.
A year ago, I never thought this could be where I am now: free, peaceful, and fulfilled, with less noise and more intention.
For most of my life, I felt stuck in the grind by chasing achievements, validation, and worth. At first, I didn’t mind it. I thought climbing the ladder was the answer to a successful life. But deep down, I knew there had to be more.
I had so much creativity, passion, and dreams of making a difference, but I was too scared to believe I could create something for myself or that I was even worthy of it.
In 2023, everything began to shift. An unexpected move and the juggle of remote work and caregiving forced me to question everything. Then in 2024, I sought clarity through holistic coaching, sparking a year of deep self-discovery and transformation.
In slowing down and sitting with myself, I uncovered my values, learned to embrace who I was at my core, and began to trust myself and the process. It was a complete 360 of who I once was. I felt free, invincible, and finally arrived at a place where I could be unapologetically myself.
From that place of freedom and peace, I found the clarity to live intentionally by being rooted in simplicity, authenticity, and alignment.
And through this journey, I found my purpose: to live intentionally and to help others do the same, from within to the spaces around them. This is my bare life, and I am so excited to share this journey with you.
Thank you for being here.
