I have learned the art of truth-telling vs. self-betrayal. I have learned that glazing over my heartaches or hardships with easy answers so that the people around me wouldn’t be uncomfortable…is no longer a healthy coping skill. I’m learning to live with the mystery of life. I’m learning that “hard, scary, and painful” are not life sentences. I’m learning to breathe through the regrets, sorrow, and heaviness, and call back my power and peace even while in my storms of “why now?!!!…when will it stop?…make it stop Jesus!…help me Lord…how long must I wait?…the pain is unbearable…I can’t breathe.”
Admitting that life is hard or that you don’t have it all together yet… doesn’t make you a failure. It doesn’t mean you are negative. It doesn’t mean you are defeated. It doesn’t mean you don’t believe in God. Admitting where you are emotionally, financially, spiritually, and mentally, in your habits, lifestyle, career, or relationships…makes you courageous. Yes, it is a vulnerable place, but a place of freedom, discovery, recovery, and exhaling.
One of my greatest joys, my "leader love language", and my purpose is to create a safe place and events for women. My approach and intention is wholistic wellness for women (spiritual, emotional, mental, physical, cultural, relationships, and finances). I love offering my keynote messages and my "womb rooms" of hope, faith, guidance, and support for women to recover, discover, and give birth to their voice, confidence, worthiness, faith, joy, connections, gifts, and purpose.
