July 23-25, 2021 | Nashville, TN
You’ve been piecing together self-care strategies to try and manage the guilt, loneliness, and resentment you feel because of the state of your relationship with her, but something’s missing.
No matter how much journaling you do, how many therapy sessions you attend, or how often you meditate, you know deep down inside you don’t have the skills, strategies, or support to free yourself from the pain her abuse and neglect has caused you...and what might happen if you don’t break free is scary as hell to think about.
You need a safe space to engage in raw, vulnerable self-discovery, be equipped with the practical tools to rescue your authentic self from beneath all the shit you’ve been through, and start the process of transforming into the woman you wish your mom was.
You need the Release.
I’m Dylesia...
Licensed Therapist, Trauma Coach, & Mother-Daughter Trauma Survivor
By now, you’ve probably binged watched all my Instagram videos and know my story like the back of your hand. But just in case…
I grew up in the projects and was raised by a single mother who started mothering at 13 when she was abandoned by her mom, forced to drop out of middle school, and left to raise six of her siblings.
By the time I - her eldest - came around, she was sick of parenting. A shitload of unprocessed complex traumas (including a disastrous relationship with her mom) manifested as addictions to pale lagers, caffeine, tobacco, and hating me.
My childhood was confusing to say the least. I was verbally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically abused for...existing.
She made almost everything I did seem like it was the worst thing in the world and almost everything I said seem like it was a lie. As a result, I entered adulthood questioning my sanity, my character, and my salvation, and the brokenness of low self-worth led me to friendships and relationships that perpetuated my feelings of guilt, hopelessness, and fear.
And what made things worse was that everybody I opened up to about the challenges I was facing within our relationship (including therapists) said things like “But that's your mom,” convincing me to try harder at loving her which only caused me to become even more broken.
That longing I once felt to be seen, heard, and understood is exactly why I’ve spent almost a decade using my clinical expertise and personal background to create platforms for Black women to live in their authentic truth, break generational curses, and experience real transformation. And it's the passion behind my life-changing healing event, The Release.

the Release is for you if...
You’re a pro at playing small, dimming your light, and putting everyone besides yourself first because your mom conditioned you to believe you weren’t good enough to be the center of anyone’s world.
You struggle to ask others for help and can’t wrap your mind around the idea of God being a provider because you’ve always had to fend for yourself since your mom only looked out for you when it benefitted her.
You love from a distance because years of psychological abuse and emotional neglect from your mom have conditioned you to believe that you’re incapable of being understood and that there’s something wrong with you that makes people reject you.
Your mom’s verbal abuse shattered your confidence, so you’ve delayed your personal and professional goals for years due to questioning your deservingness and lacking trust in your decision-making skills.
Your mom seemed to find joy in physically abusing you and between the flashbacks and triggers, you find it painful to love your body or let anyone else.
You’re scared, lost, and have nowhere to turn because every person you’ve confided in has told you “you only get one mom.”
