LUXE REINVENTION™ FOUNDER & CREATOR OF SOFT RHYTHM
Hey Girlfriend, I´m Jennifer
I help high-achieving Black women in midlife create their next chapter of work and life from a softer, body-led rhythm instead of burnout, pressure, or performance.
Soft Rhythm grew out of my own search for a gentler pace. I had built the career, held everything together, and stayed strong for everyone else. Somewhere along the way, I lost the part of me that felt honest and free.
I began asking new questions. What do I feel. What do I need. What supports me today. That is where Soft Rhythm started for me. It helped me slow down, listen to my body, and move in ways that felt true.
Now I share this practice with women who are ready for a new way forward. Women who want clarity without pressure and creativity without burnout. Women who want to build meaningful lives and work in a slower, softer, more grounded way.
Everything I offer is rooted in this approach. A simple path back to yourself, one quiet rhythm at a time.
Today I support high-achieving Black women in midlife who are building creative, lifestyle-first businesses after corporate and want a gentler way to work, create, and guide their next season.
How I Arrived at Soft Rhythm
For years, I lived in performance mode. Doing. Proving. Holding everything together. On the outside, I looked steady and strong.
Inside, I was tired and losing the part of me that felt alive.
My body was speaking long before I learned to listen. The exhaustion. The pressure. The quiet knowing that something needed to shift.
I wanted a gentler way to work and create. I wanted a pace that felt honest. I wanted myself back.
Soft Rhythm grew from that moment. A simple decision to stop pushing past myself and start honoring what I needed. Slower mornings. Softer goals. More truth. More room to breathe.
Here, I share what helps me return to center. Small practices.
Quiet insights. A softer way to move through life and work.
If any of this helps you feel more like yourself, I’m glad you’re here.
The Moment Everything Shifted
It all happened during a year that asked more of me than any year before it.
Big transitions.
Big endings.
Big awakenings.
There were girls’ trips where I laughed in a way I had not in years. A soulful work trip to Chicago that reminded me of parts of myself I had forgotten. A quiet Christmas at the lake that finally let my body breathe again.
And underneath it all, the unraveling of a marriage, a layoff I did not expect, and the weight of holding my kids through it. My mind kept pushing. My body was the first to whisper enough.
I could not think my way into a new season. I had to slow down long enough to feel myself again.
So I began taking small pauses. Tiny moments of listening, resting, softening. Not a reinvention plan. A returning.
Those moments became the beginning of Soft Rhythm. A body-led way of living, creating, and leading that keeps guiding me forward. Now it is the practice I share with women who have carried whole worlds too.
Soft Rhythm started with tiny moments
A pause in the morning. A breath before the next task. A small walk after work. A question I hadn’t asked myself in years. “What do I need right now?“
Those tiny moments brought me back to myself. They softened my pace. They helped me release the pressure I had been carrying for decades.
And that softness grew into a practice. A rhythm. A way of working and living. That practice is now Soft Rhythm.
Why I do this work
Because too many of us have lived lives performing strength. Handling everything. Carrying everybody. Working twice as hard for half the peace.
Midlife invites something different.
A return to truth.
A slower pace.
A wiser rhythm.
I guide women through that shift because I know how freeing it feels to choose a softer way.
What I Believe
These aren’t slogans. They are lived wisdom. They are the heartbeat of Luxe Reinvention™: a quieter chapter, a truer season,
a return to the woman you’ve always been.
Your body tells the truth
Softness is strength
Women deserve ease
Clarity comes when we slow down
We do not need to start over
Your next season can feel peaceful and powerful
A Few of My Soft Rhythm Anchors
These simple practices keep me grounded in my grown-woman season.
Stillness
Moments where I let everything fall quiet so I can meet myself again. A slow breath. A room of my own. A pause that reminds me who I am.
Movement
Gentle walks. Stretching. Breathing. Anything that helps my body release what my mind holds.
Soft Living
Small rituals that make life feel spacious. Morning light. A warm cup. An unhurried evening.
