But what if giving flowers became something we did intentionally, consistently, and with purpose?

Roomies, today’s conversation is rooted in legacy, intention, and community.

Meet Lamier Lee, founder of the Buy Her Flowers Pop-Up, an intentional experience happening on May 16 in Atlanta for the first time, bringing people together and celebrating women in meaningful ways. Originally from Jersey and recently relocating to Atlanta, Lamier is turning a simple gesture into a full experience, where guests receive flowers from local florists, explore sponsored brand activations, enjoy refreshments, shop emerging brands, and take part in something that feels both peaceful and purposeful.

So grab your coffee, cocktail, or whatever you're sipping, and let’s talk about what’s trending on social and what it really means to give people their flowers.

With an uncertain economy, the longest government shutdown in U.S. history barely behind us, and layoffs happening left and right, it’s completely understandable to feel overwhelmed by all the noise—both in the world and maybe even in our own homes.

But even in the midst of all that, women are finding ways to quiet the chaos. To romanticize the colder months. To spend intentional time with themselves. To reignite their creativity. And to still step out and enjoy life in ways that feel good.

So to our fellas and ladies tuning in, if this season feels heavy, but you’re still searching for those moments of joy it can bring, we’re really glad to have you in the room.

Featuring special guest Gené Hunter. Atlanta-based creative and entrepreneur who’s redefining what it means to live fully and creatively in every season. She is the founder of Gené Creative Co., a creative strategy brand helping build standout brands and women-led businesses — and Meet Me Here, a growing community that brings people together through fun, low-to-no-cost activities that spark connection and joy.

For the rest of Q4, gone are the days of glamorizing burnout or constantly being outside — the girls are cozying up, building businesses from their laptops, stacking soft money, and prioritizing discipline over distractions.

But here’s the tea: locking in isn’t easy. It’s lonely, sometimes, it can be demanding, and it requires saying “no” way more than “yes.” 

So… what does it really look like to be in your lock-in season? How do you know when it’s time to tune the world out and bet on your grind? And can you lock in without losing yourself? Is this “great lock-in” just for show?

To join in on this discussion, we have Amari Green, co-host of the Standing on Business podcast, where they are nurturing careers one conversation at a time. Every episode, they keep us in check and make sure we stop playing with our purpose.
