On Saturday, September 23, 2023 I attended the 2nd Annual Inflamed Sisters Thriving (IST) Summit hosted by Catina Morrison, Chronic Illness Coach, business consultant and founder of Nurse Love Essentials.
I met Catina on in Instagram, while searching for support groups that cater to autoimmune warriors. I had already written my vision for my own company, RAw Joy and was just looking for direction and inspiration. She was immediately responsive to my questions and after a brief consultation I walked away with a new sense of purpose and being referred to other amazing coaches, business owners, advocates who have become a community. In January, I was invited to attended an event in Virginia, in fellowship with this community of women. The theme of that event was “Move In Joy” which confirmed my vision and the name of my company. I left so inspired that I was determined not to miss the IST summit this year.
The IST Summit was held in the historic Junior League Building in Lakeland, Florida. The 1-day event included empowering speakers, presentations, vendors and a formal 💜💃🏾Purple Gala in the evening . Attending the event was another great opportunity for me to network , make connections and meet other autoimmune warriors.
Inflamed Sisters Thriving’s mission is to support women living with autoimmune diseases so they can stop hiding and start thriving in every aspect of life, in spite of their illnesses. It’s a safe space for warriors to access information, resources and education through this and other affiliated organizations. You can find out more about this organization at
