Our Values
WELLNESS: We serve others best when we operate out of total wellness and care for ourselves first.
CONNECTION: Community and shared experiences remind us that we are better together and never alone.
STEWARDSHIP: We honor our stories and share them to inspire and assist others on their journey. We own what is ours to give - responsibly.
AUTHENTICITY: We dig deep to reconnect with ourselves, accept our humanity, and share it in safe spaces.
TRUTH: We value doing our personal work and that of the world in truth and integrity. We understand that true healing can take place when the truth is told out-loud and in love.
Meet Our Founder
Soliél (so-lay) Lindsey, is no stranger to life's ebbs and flows. She has learned to take adversity and use it to propel her to grow and lift others along the way. She started her healing and wellness journeys as a young adult after experiencing complex traumas, homelessness, The School To Prison Pipeline, poor mental health bouts, and more.
As a teenager, Soliél found a love for modeling and came into the world of fashion. It was her first sense of what community is. Modeling started as a hobby but became a way of expression and this changed the trajectory of her life. Fusing her passion for mental health advocacy and experience with fashion, Sol Rise Essentials® was born.
Soliél is now a thriving Mother, Confidence Coach, Speaker, and business owner who is intentional about her life's "purpose work". She is also a fraternal twin who loves to learn about Psychology and have soul-fulling conversations. In her spare time, you can catch her listening to a podcast, reading, running, relaxing in her hammock or snuggling with her son (when he lets her these days).
Sol Rise Essentials® allows Soliél to live out her life's purpose; helping others actualize their personal power to reach their full potential. It also helps her to usher people into having real, candid conversations even if they are tough. Her mental health podcast, Sol Seat Conversations, allows thrivers from around the world to share their resilience and mental wellness stories to encourage humans as they grow.
Soliél also now encourages many via public speaking. She even got the opportunity to speak at the very same high school she was arrested at at 17 years old (where she entered the School To Prison Pipeline). Talk about full circle and shining in her purpose (fun fact: her name is a French word for "Sun")! Join her and The SolTribe Family as we shine a light on mental wellness. Let's transform our "innerselves" and in turn transform the world (and look good while doing it!). Thank you for for joining our movement!
