CONVERSATIONS
In a world that idolizes celebrities, gurus, athletes, fashion, the latest trends, technology, media and more, it is our goal to highlight human beings who are sharing their unique, incredible, soul's purpose and service in the world.
While they may not have the biggest following, these courageous beings are making an incredible impact in the world. Creating energetic ripples that will collectively serve to move mountains and reshape the future of humanity on this planet.
We hope to encourage and inspire more people to reconnect with their unique gifts; step into their True Soul's Calling; take actions to serve humanity; and be a way-shower at this pivotal time in history and herstory.

After leaving an 18 year career in public media she founded EBB 'n Flow Lifestyle | Leadership Coaching & Consulting where she, as the EBB 'n Flow Coach, focuses on professional and executive women leaders, particularly Black women and women of color, who have been silenced and sidelined. A natural born leader herself, and influencer she often challenged the status quo and found herself unsupported, pigeon-holed and marginalized as a leader. Her potential was stifled by those who had the authority and influence to mentor and sponsor her. It took her nearly 3 years before she gained clarity and understanding from the harm and trauma she experienced during her 18 year career. Empowered with a new vision, greater sense of purpose, more knowledge and wisdom Esther is bringing this work to the forefront. She's focusing on the untold stories of women leaders who have silently suffered the trauma of being sidelined and to help them creatively express their stories, (RE)align with their values, heal their voices, determine their purpose and define their mission. Esther is a self-proclaimed champion for the underdog, overlooked and underserved natural born leaders, women of color, who are leaders by title but silenced and sidelined within their organizations.

ABOUT
Lyn Norris Hayes |
Lyn Norris Hayes’ professional career spanned thirty years with South Central Bell as a communications specialist. After retiring in 1996, Lyn built two arts organizations in the Nashville area focusing on visual and performing art; the Nashville African American Artists Association, known as N4Art, and Creative Artists of Tennessee (CATs).
These organizations centered around awarding a national grant from BlackSide Corporation, makers of the award-winning documentary Eyes on the Prize. This grant generated a year-long project entitled I’ll Make Me A World, culminating in multimedia production at the famed Ryman Auditorium, Nashville, TN.
I’ll Make Me A World is a one hundred year retrospect of African American Art and its influence on American history and culture. Hayes was the first African American to lease the Ryman facility and was presented a commemorative coin in recognition of her efforts.
In 2004 Hayes turned her attention to spiritual matters, answering the call the preach, becoming an Ordained Elder in the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church. Hayes completed a Master of Divinity with High Honors in 2013 at Memphis Theological Seminary. Hayes completed a Doctor of Ministry emphasis preaching in May of 2020 from the same institution.
Hayes pastored a congregation in Paris, Tennessee, from 2011 through 2014. In 2016, Hayes served as associate pastor and Interim pastor at the Church of the Living God until December 2020.
Hayes is a community activist and art activist and has served with the African American Cultural Alliance through the African Street Festival, events centered around the Battle of Nashville and Kwanzaa Activities. Featured in the Kwanzaa Nashville 2020 film, I Am My Ancestor, Hayes is elevated to the honorific role of Queen Mother and speaks on the importance of faith in the African American community.
Hayes loves the spoken word through preaching, poetry, and the sharing of tales and stories. Her current focus is working toward the liberation of women in spiritual activities specifically centered around the right for women to deliver the word of God. Hayes no longer identifies with any particular faith system and is actively seeking ways to express her love of God and the universal creation.
Lyn is married to Ronald “Doc” Hayes and is the mother of five children. Being a mother is her greatest achievement and is known affectionately to many as “Mama Lyn.”

I am super thrilled that my Mom, Phyllis Robb was the December ReSounding Wholeness Conversations Guest.
It meant so much to me for us to be able to BE in this experience together.
I know that there aren’t a lot of people out there that can share in this type of dialogue or even have their mothers still here to have a conversation like this. I feel very fortunate and grateful!
We have been meeting daily (virtually) for the last few months for the Sunrise Sound Circle. There has been so many beautiful "ah ha" moments between us that I thought it would be amazing to bring our dialogue to another level.
The paintings below are original watercolors Phyllis Robb painted in recent years. She reengaged with this aspect of her creative artistry later in life. I am so grateful she has!

Sonia Fernandez Le Blanc |
I’m a Storyteller. A Writer. Self Directed Learning Advocate. A Community Builder. A Systems Disruptor/Re-Creator with a penchant for the mystical. I’m on a journey of radical self awareness and I just launched my business, Revolutions: All Definitions Apply, where I serve as guide for those who feel called to journey with me.
Revolutions consists of courses, one-on-one connections, and a podcast focused on our revolutionary journeys in radical self and soul awareness so that we can better know, live, tell, and honor our own stories. These stories are curative elixirs that can offer us personal and ancestral healing within.
When we truly know ourselves and our stories, we begin to transform into the matriarchal elders that our vastly changing society needs and deserves. We are the bridge generations who will hold space for and support our living and future descendants at the end of an era we neither ushered forth nor will be able to rectify.
In this space, I serve as a guide offering stories, insights, practices, and conversations on balancing body, mind, and soul, which in turn roots us to the earth while raising us into the divine. We hold both in equilibrium. That is the revolution.
Root down. Rise up. To the Revolutions: All Definitions Apply.
