Hello there, welcome! I am Gillian Larmond, affectionately known as Queen Gee – a woman in her 50s who has lived many lives, reinvented herself more than once, and finally came home to herself.
Where I Have Been
My journey began in radio and media sales, where I spent nearly two decades hosting shows, interviewing guests, closing deals, and learning how to connect, communicate, and build relationships with clarity and confidence. Those years shaped my voice, strengthened my backbone, and taught me the power of genuine conversation and human connection.
But in recent years, life tapped me gently on the shoulder and said, “Slow down. Come home to yourself.” And that was the beginning of my Confident 50+ Journey – a season of healing, rediscovery, and gentle reinvention.
Where I Am Now
Today, my life feels different. Not rushed. Not frantic. Not performative. Just intentional.
My mornings begin with:
- Herbal teas and wellness rituals
- Tending to my container garden – growing herbs, vegetables, and healing plants
- Gentle movement, walking, stretching, and breathing
- Simple living rooted in peace and presence
My wellness journey now lives here, where I share my heart-led movement, Grow Back Jamaica – inspiring Jamaicans to reconnect with growing food, rebuilding confidence, and reclaiming self-sufficiency one plant, one pot, one small space at a time.
My Hands Create What My Heart Needs
Crochet has been my quiet companion for more than 30 years, a thread woven through every season of my life. What began as a hobby has become a grounding practice, a meditation, and now a way I create beauty in my healing space.
I crochet plant hangers and pot holders that hold my container garden together – functional pieces that make growing in small spaces both possible and lovely. I will also share these creations here, because beauty and purpose can live together.
What You Will Find Here
This space is where I share ME. Here, I write about:
- Living intentionally and choosing peace after 50
- My wellness practices, herbal rituals, and container garden journey
- What I’m learning about growing food in buckets, pots, and hanging spaces
- The Grow Back Jamaica mission and the everyday gardeners I meet
- The crochet plant hangers I create for my own small-space garden
- Reflections on confidence, reinvention, and the wisdom that comes with age
- What it means to live honestly, gently, and with purpose
I share my life as it unfolds: what I’m learning, what I’m growing, what works, what doesn’t, and what’s on my mind.
If you have been looking for permission to start small, to grow gently, to heal in your own time – this is it.
Thank you for being here. May walking with me give you the courage to slow down, plant something, and grow with grace in your own journey.
