Grow Your Mind, Create Change, Share Our Journey
We celebrate the beauty and the diversity of life. Empowering individuals and communities with knowledge, resources, and a supportive network to cultivate natural health, conscious living, and a more compassionate and sustainable world. We believe in the power of ancient wisdom, modern science, and personal experience to guide individuals toward wholeness and ignite collective transformation. Our three pillars of transformation represent this philosophy: Grow, Create, Share.
Embrace the Journey, Cultivate Inner Wisdom
To Grow is to embark on a lifelong journey of self-discovery, cultivating a deep understanding of who we are—our needs, our desires, and our unique natures. This inner knowing allows us to better understand and honor the needs of ourselves and others, fostering deeper connections and a more compassionate world. As we explore ancient wisdom, herbal practices, and modern science, we gain a richer understanding of our bodies, our environment, the interconnectedness of all things, and what it truly means to be human. Knowledge is power.
Spark the Transformation, Within & Without
At Grow-Create-Share, we believe that true transformation begins within and ripples outward. Once we know who we are, it’s time to Create. To breathe life into our visions, both personally and collectively. Develop self-care rituals that nourish our minds, bodies, and spirits. Find creative expression through art or explore practices that honor our authentic selves. Making conscious choices, embracing mindful actions, and aligning with our values, our inherent nature, and individualized needs, to create nourishing foods and herbs to support our body.
Connect, Collaborate, Uplift, & Heal
To Share is to recognize we are all one—to embrace the interconnectedness. By celebrating the strength and beauty found in the community. It’s about using what we have learned and created to embrace authenticity, offer support, and uplift one another on the journey of life. When we share our stories, knowledge, and creations, we inspire courage, ignite possibility, and co-create a world where every human life is celebrated and protected. At Grow-Create-Share, we believe that together, we will rise— stronger, brighter, more connected, and free.
In a world facing unprecedented challenges—environmental degradation, health crises, and social disconnection—Grow-Create-Share serves as a beacon of hope and a call to action. We are dedicated to exploring the interconnectedness of all aspects of life and providing the tools needed for personal and collective transformation.

A Little About me
Hi, I’m Cheyenne, the heart and soul behind Grow-Create-Share.
My journey toward this work has been anything but linear. It’s been a wild journey- from having grown up around healthcare and nursing, to experiencing a significant amount of trauma, including the loss of my firstborn child at 17, sexual assault, homelessness, joining the military and losing my second son in the process. Plus chronic health issues like ADHD, anxiety, depression, autoimmune dysfunction, connective tissue disorder-EDS, digestive disorders-IBS, GERD, anorexia, bulimia, hormonal imbalances due to PCOS, and the lifelong effects of chronic stress response leading to cPTSD resulting in overtaxation of my nervous system. I spent a significant portion of my life running from my darkness, unable to breathe if I let myself feel it. Just going through the motions feeling lost and broken, shoving it all down and away.
Yet, from a young age, I have always felt a calling to help others, a desire to ease suffering and empower those in need. To save the unsaveable. Probably because I know what it feels like to be so lonely and independent while hurting. I initially envisioned a career as a trauma nurse, but life had other plans. My path led me through unexpected twists and turns—medical field burnout, military service, physical and emotional challenges, grief and loss, growth, herbalism, and ultimately the birth of my last child, my daughter.
It was through my own struggles with chronic illness, postpartum depression, a lifetime of trauma, and a profound awakening during ketamine therapy that I truly began to understand the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. Ancient wisdom traditions, herbal medicine, and modern science converged, illuminating a path toward holistic well-being.
Driven by a deep desire to share this knowledge and empower other women who have lost their way, I created Grow-Create-Share This platform is a culmination of experiences, research, and an unwavering belief in the human capacity for healing and transformation. It is my honor and privilege to empower women, particularly mothers, to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery, and holistic wellness.
Grow Create Share is meant to serve as a guide on that journey, offering all the wisdom, insights, community support, knowledge and resources, I have. Free of charge, experience and wisdom are to be shared.
Welcome to the community. Let’s grow, create, and share together.
A Holistic Approach to Wellness
We believe that true well-being encompasses the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of our being. Our approach integrates Ayurveda, TCM, modern scientific insights, and the understanding that we are all energetic beings, interconnected through the fundamental force of electromagnetic energy. This interconnectedness highlights the importance of understanding our individual needs, as our choices and actions impact not only our own health but also the well-being of our communities and the planet.
By integrating modern science, ancient wisdom, and personalized practices, we provide knowledge in individualized nutrition, handcrafted herbal remedies, and various other educational resources that nurture the mind, body, and spirit. In our commitment to holistic wellness, we recognize the profound impact of chronic health conditions on women’s lives. Our research and understanding of various Western health conditions, blended with traditional wisdom inform our approach and allow us to provide a comprehensive understanding that addresses many aspects of these challenges. Thereby empowering others to reclaim their health and enhance their quality of life.
Understanding Chronic Inflammation: A Journey Back to Balance
Inflammation is the body’s natural defense mechanism, a vital response to injury or infection. However, when inflammation persists, it can become a silent disruptor, leading to a cascade of negative effects on our health and well-being. Chronic inflammation can damage cell structures, impair communication between cells, and disrupt essential cellular processes. Our unique genetic makeup plays a crucial role in how our bodies manage inflammation, influencing our ability to produce antioxidant enzymes and regulate detoxification pathways that eliminate toxins.
When cellular processes are disrupted, a domino effect occurs. Malfunctioning cells struggle to perform their vital roles, impacting surrounding tissues and organs, and leading to widespread imbalances. This shift from a state of harmony (homeostasis) to one of ongoing adaptation (allostasis) and if not balanced in a timely manner can increase the allostatic load and pave the way for chronic disease. By understanding the intricate interplay of inflammation, genetics, and cellular function, we can empower ourselves to make informed choices that support our bodies’ natural healing abilities.
Over the years, we have conducted extensive independent research in addition to what we have learned through formal education. As we continue our journey towards wellness, we have discovered that many diseases and disorders may share a similar root cause—a cascade effect resulting from cellular dysfunction. This dysfunction is often driven by cellular inflammation and improper function, which can lead to structural and functional changes in the body. While the specific causes of inflammation or physiological dysfunction can vary—such as trauma, accumulated toxins, lifestyle factors, inherited traits, and epigenetics—understanding how your body functions and recognizing its needs for optimal health is essential.
At Grow-Create-Share, we guide you to explore these connections, providing tools and resources to reduce inflammation, restore balance, and cultivate lasting well-being.
