Welcome to La’Heart Desires

At La’Heart Desires, our mission is to inspire growth, empower change, and educate hearts and minds. We create spaces, tools, and experiences that help individuals find peace, build resilience, and live with purpose. Transforming life’s challenges into stepping stones for a legacy that lasts.

What Is La’Heart Desires?

Grief gave us the blueprint. Legacy gave us the mission.


La’Heart Desires is a healing-led brand built in honor of my late father, Lamont. A movement of reflection, empowerment, and emotional rebirth.


Here, we blend soul, writing, and storytelling to help you transform pain into power and purpose. Whether you’re grieving a loved one or grieving the version of you that couldn’t make it, this is your space to rise!

Soul Notes

Soul Notes is a blog offering a quiet space for reflection, written for those navigating grief, growth, and healing in their own time. These short, heartfelt entries offer peace, presence, and gentle reminders that you’re not alone. Let your heart breathe, feel seen, and find comfort in words meant just for you.


Soul Notes: Weekly heart check-ins for those healing in silence.

The Myth of the Perfect Moment

Why Do You Keep Doing What Doesn’t Serve You?

You Are Stronger Than Your Battles
The battles you’ve faced do not define you. Yes, they’ve left marks. They’ve stretched you, tested you, and at times felt like they would break you. But they are not the sum of who you are. You are not your scars. You are not the moments that tried ...
