Rooted in resilience. Welcoming wonder.
Our story
I’m Symone, a veteran, entrepreneur, wellness creator and woman who has learned how to keep creating beauty while rebuilding through some incredibly difficult chapters. I’ve poured years into helping others reconnect with joy, wellness and themselves. Right now, I’m beginning again in ways I never expected, learning that sometimes strength isn’t pushing through. Sometimes it’s allowing yourself to be held.
What the weekend would mean to us
This would be so much more than a beautiful weekend away. It would be a chance to exhale. I’ve spent so much of my life being resourceful, creating, rebuilding and finding ways forward. Lately, life has asked a lot of me, and I’ve realized how rare it is that I allow myself to simply receive. Milk & Honey Ranch has been somewhere I’ve genuinely wanted to experience, which makes this feel especially meaningful. A weekend surrounded by nature, beauty and stillness would give me space to come back to myself before stepping into my next chapter. The financial gift would create breathing room during a season of major transition, while also allowing me to pour some of that support back into the wellness work I’ve built to serve others. There’s something beautiful about receiving something life changing and allowing a piece of it to ripple outward. Together, the experience and the gift would represent rest for where I’ve been, support for where I am, possibility for where I’m going, and what I can continue giving!
