I’m Irene Lovett, a woman who survived, healed, and turned her scars into seeds.

Growing Strength was born from the pieces of me I had to put back together. After surviving abuse, heartbreak, grief, and the kind of trauma that shakes your soul, I realized I wasn’t the only one looking for a soft place to land.
A space that didn’t just hand you a hotline and say, “good luck.”
I needed tools. I needed language. I needed comfort.
So, I created it.

I'm not a therapist. I'm not a life coach.
I'm a Black woman who knows what it’s like to cry quietly in the bathroom, journal through the pain, drink tea to calm the chaos, and still show up the next day trying to heal and hold it all together.
I’ve been her. I still am her sometimes.

Growing Strength is my love letter to every woman who’s still figuring it out.
Every survivor learning to trust herself again.
Every soul who’s tired of being strong but still refuses to give up.

This is a space for us, the overcomers, the heart-healers, the truth-tellers, and the quiet warriors.

Welcome to Growing Strength.
Awareness. Support. Healing.
