📈 MEET CHELSEA REECE 📈
Hi! My name is Chelsey, and I am a financial coach, dog trainer, and most importantly, a mom. At one point, I found myself drowning in debt, struggling to understand where money was going and how I'd make it to the next paycheck. I decided to make a major change for myself and for my family. After studying, trial and error, and enrolling in a financial academy to learn the ins and outs, I made big changes with a lasting impact to escape that cycle. Once we found freedom, I knew I wanted to help others do the same. There is nothing like financial empowerment and feeling in control of your finances. It's not just about money; it's about putting your family in a better position, unlocking new opportunities, and taking away the stress of finances that can have a big impact on your family.
What we’re building together:
💵 Financial empowerment for women at every stage
💵 Learn how to budget, save, and invest with confidence
💵 Practical money skills you can use immediately
💵 A supportive community that meets you where you are
💵 Classes focused on building stability and long-term growth
💟 MEET LORI HALL 💟
Hello, my name is Lori Hall. I have been blessed to be married to an amazing man, Greg Hall, for over 20 years. We continue to grow together in Christ, and I am thankful for the journey God has placed us on.
I have two wonderful, strong children, five grandchildren, and a beautiful great-granddaughter who bring so much joy to my life.
About 30 years ago, I started a business and lifestyle that was built around things that were not honoring to God. I made sin look fun. I may not have personally used the things I sold or lived the lifestyle completely, but my heart was focused on money and success. Even during those years, I felt a calling to serve.
About 10 years ago, Greg and I made the decision to walk away from our old life and follow the path God was calling us toward. Eight years ago, we opened Poppy’s Coffee, Tea & Remedies. Our goal was never just to serve coffee. We wanted it to be a place where we could share the Gospel, be the hands and feet of Jesus, and offer hope to the lost, the addicted, the lonely, and anyone who walked through our doors.
My passion is sharing what God has done in our lives. As God continued to send more volunteers and more people who needed love and support, Court Street Ministries was born over six years ago.
Through the years, we have faced challenges and persecution, but we have continued because we know why God called us. I am thankful to have a spouse who prays with me, talks with me, and reminds me of the love that brought us together.
Greg and I still flirt, laugh, and choose each other. We try to live like newlyweds because we know we are stronger together. We do not complete each other because we are perfect, but because God has joined our lives and continues to work through us.
My story is a reminder that God can redeem anyone, transform any life, and use our past to bring hope to others.

🧘🏼♀️ MEET KAITI SNODGRASS 🧘🏼♀️
Bio Coming Soon!
Ready to feel like yourself again?
🍂 This fall, WELX Community is inviting women to slow down, breathe deep, and reconnect with their strength, mind, and spirit. Our Find Balance & Serenity portion of the women’s retreat is all about giving yourself permission to pause.
☀️ Wake up to a gentle stretch and morning movement, ease into a mid-morning yoga flow, and soak in wellness teaching, all guided by Kaiti Snodgrass. No pressure, no rushing, just space to reset.
You carry a lot. This is your invitation to set some of it down for a little while and come back to yourself.
