2 Locations To Feel Better

By Susan Wilson

Corsicana has been blessed with two entrepreneurs offering unique places to enjoy, connect, learn heathy habits, and give back.

Last weekend, the Inner Circle, the retail location for a new no-cost recovery aftercare program for women, enjoyed a Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting and a steady flow of interested Mimosa sippers and shoppers on Beaton Street. The community-based program offers the next step in abuse recovery with a dedicated team and specific therapy and workshops.
The space offers donated items for sale, consignment booth space free of charge and with a lucrative commission offering, and 100% of all sales support housing, feeding, and educational job training for women and families here and surrounding counties. The workshop space is a place to learn a skil or teach a class, and a most unique window-flanked foyer, named The Lunch Break Lounge is designed to meet friends, take a break, or enjoy your lunch, with the Inner Circle providing cold beverages for the taking.
Founder and Executive Director Victoria Shepherd-Burnett remembers working jobs with a lunch break, but no place to eat her home-packed lunch, saying “I couldn’t afford to buy my lunch and there were few places people could sit for a bit and feel comfortable.” Posted on the wall is the message “Do you work in the area, bring your lunch to work and want a hassle-free place to enjoy your meal? Work from home and need a break? Girl, what are you waiting for?”
Victoria’s husband, Co-Founder and Director Brian Burnett is a seventh-generation Navarro County Texan, with backgrounds in sports, training and teaching, renovation, remodeling and woodworking. (Examples of his work are for sale at the retail store.) He is instrumental in managing the orgnization’s multiple low cost sober living homes in North Texas.
The Inner Circle Consignment Boutique and Workshop is at 310 North Beaton Street, open Wednesday-Saturday, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Website: theinn.info; IG: @theinnrecoverycommunity; FB: Facebook.com/shepherdinn

Main St. Nutrition is now open, with an official opening party planned for August. Owner Olivia Southard transformed Cana Nutrition on Main Street in the King Plaza into an upscale, serene tea and shake bar, with booster options such as extra protein, collagen, and fat reducers. Teas with enticing names such as Texas Sunrise, Boss Babe and Pink Dragon and shakes are  Dreamsicicle, Birthday Cake, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Oreo and more. Based on Herbalife products, Olivia is a nutrition coach offering personalized plans to achieve individual goals including app-connections and meal plans for clients, along with the popular “Transformational Challenge”. Her successful Blooming Grove location, The Grove Nutrition, spurred her to open a second location and she is looking forward to meeting people and sharing in her customer’s heathy achievements. Watch for the grand opening announcement and special events like Shake Parties.
Main St. Nutrition is open Monday – Friday from 7 a.m. – 4 p.m. (perfect for after-morning workout or a shake on the way to work) and Saturdays, 8 a.m. – 2 p.m.
