Last weekend, I traveled to Atlanta for Black Writers Weekend, where I had the opportunity to speak on a panel. And honestly, it was such a great experience. But getting there was a whole story in itself.

I was prepared.

The travel portion of this trip had a few unexpected challenges. I almost missed my flight by one minute because I entered the wrong parking garage. Then, once I arrived in Atlanta, I encountered another unexpected issue at my hotel that completely threw me off. It was literally, one thing after another and it started to make me doubt if I should have even come.

After I checked in, I sat in that hotel room for the rest of the evening. I ordered some food, took a shower, got in bed, and watched Grey’s Anatomy. I had absolutely no desire to get dressed and go to any of the Black Writers Weekend activities.

I was DONE.

I thought I had planned everything out. My Type A personality usually has a plan for the plan, so when unexpected things happen, it can be a real test. Not just of your ability to adapt, but of your belief in yourself and your trust in God.

Looking back, I knew I probably just needed to take a breath, calm down, and get back in alignment with the mission. But in the moment, I needed a day. I had been genuinely excited about this trip and had envisioned everything going smoothly.

When it didn’t, the unexpected resistance started to overshadow the excitement I had for the opportunity and for a moment, it discouraged me.

But after sitting with it for a while, I realized what was really happening. Instead of being excited about the pursuit and grateful for the opportunity to do something I had prayed for, the unexpected resistance was making me question whether I should pursue it at all.

It was actually an opportunity to practice what I’ve been asking God to develop in me.

Discernment. Resilience. Problem-solving. Trust.

As entrepreneurs and creatives, we’re constantly solving problems. We’re constantly navigating uncertainty. We’re constantly making decisions without having every variable figured out. That’s tiring but, it’s also purposeful. And I believe God gave us the capacity to do that for a reason. Sometimes He makes a way by changing the circumstances. And sometimes He makes a way by giving you the wisdom to navigate the circumstances you’re already in. That distinction has been important for me. Because faith isn’t always about waiting for everything to become easy. Sometimes faith looks like taking the next step even when things aren’t going according to plan.

I could have allowed the unexpected challenges of the trip to define the entire experience. Instead, I decided to keep moving. And I’m so glad I did. Because once I got past that initial frustration, I was able to fully experience why I was there.

The next day, I got up, got dressed, spent some time with God and I was on my way.

I met so many incredible people. I met film writers, authors, actors and actresses, as well as multifaceted creatives and entrepreneurs like myself. I had meaningful conversations. I got to pour into people from the stage. I created a bunch of content. And I got to show up as something I’ve been praying about for years:

Becoming a Public Speaker.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you may remember a video I posted on YouTube of myself speaking for the first time at a leadership retreat. That was in 2024. I had been journaling and praying for opportunities to travel, speak, create, and use my experiences to pour into other people. Now, I’m looking at my life and realizing that what was once a prayer has become part of my reality. I’ve now had multiple opportunities to speak and I’ve traveled for opportunities I once hoped for.

Now, I can officially put “Speaker” in my bio lol. That’s a full-circle moment. So yes, I’m incredibly grateful that I was chosen to speak at Black Writers Weekend. But I’m even more grateful for what the experience reminded me about pursuit.

Sometimes the resistance isn’t a reason to stop. Sometimes it’s part of the preparation.

There will be unexpected obstacles when you’re building something. There will be moments when things don’t go according to plan. There will be times when you question whether you should keep going. But every challenge gives you an opportunity to become more equipped for the level you’re pursuing. You don’t become battle-tested by avoiding resistance. You become battle-tested by learning how to navigate it.

And perhaps that’s one of the greatest parts of pursuing purpose:

You don’t just get the opportunity.

You become the person capable of carrying it.

That’s what this weekend meant to me. It wasn’t just about getting on a stage in Atlanta. It was about recognizing that I’m becoming the woman I prayed to become years ago. And that is something worth celebrating.

I ultimately had an AMAZING time in Atlanta. I visited a place called Hungry AF 😂 and had the best chicken and shrimp pasta I’ve probably ever eaten. I experienced a Waymo for the first time. And I got to experience the beginning of a new era of myself.

I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity, the people I met, the conversations we had, and the chance to continue sharing what I’ve learned with other creatives. Black Writers Weekend was unforgettable.

And I’m grateful I said yes.

For the past few weeks, I've had one phrase on repeat in my mind:

It's time to build.

Not dream. Not plan. Not journal another idea. Build.

Something has shifted in this season of my business, and it's difficult to explain unless you've experienced it yourself. It's as if the ideas I've carried for years are finally finding solid ground. What once felt distant is becoming tangible.

Conversations are turning into opportunities. Meetings are turning into partnerships. Vision is becoming reality. One of the clearest examples happened recently. For a while, I had been thinking about how to better serve the entrepreneurs and creatives who attend my networking events. I knew they needed more than just a place to connect. They needed access to financial education, business resources, and relationships that could help them grow.

In my mind, I pictured partnering with a bank that believed in investing in entrepreneurs. It was just a vision. A week later, I was sitting across the table from the Director of the B1 Bank Foundation here in Baton Rouge. As we talked, something incredible happened. He said, "I've been trying to connect with creatives and entrepreneurs so this may be God putting this together." I smiled because I had been trying to connect with someone exactly like him. People of faith who have the same passion and conviction as me to serve others.

Neither of us created the need during that meeting. The need had already been growing on both sides. We simply showed up at the right table. That's when I realized something.

Vision attracts provision, but execution creates the opportunity for it to arrive.

If I had waited until everything was perfect before hosting my networking events, that meeting may never have happened. If I had convinced myself that the events were "too small" to matter, there wouldn't have been a growing community for B1 Bank Foundation to invest in. If I had stayed in planning mode, there would have been nothing to partner with. Momentum didn't begin with the partnership. It began the moment I decided to execute.

Looking back, it's almost surreal.

The idea for these networking events came to me in 2023, right before I accepted a position as a Project Coordinator. At the time, I had no idea what they would become. I just knew I couldn't shake the vision. Three years later, I'm not only hosting the events, I now have partners helping expand the impact beyond what I could have accomplished alone. That's the beauty of building. One event leads to another. One introduction leads to a meeting. One meeting becomes a partnership. One partnership creates new opportunities for an entire community. It's like watching dominoes fall, but only because someone had the courage to push the first one.

I've also learned another lesson that's changing how I think about entrepreneurship.

Big visions require big partnerships.

For a long time, I believed I had to carry everything myself. Fund every idea. Wear every hat. Solve every problem. But the bigger the vision became, the more obvious it was that I wasn't designed to build it alone. Partnerships have allowed me to do more while spending less. Instead of trying to finance every initiative myself, I've found organizations that already believe in entrepreneurship, community development, financial readiness, and creative growth.

When our missions align, resources multiply. The vision gets bigger. The impact grows. Everyone wins. I believe that's true for many of us. Sometimes we think we're waiting on resources, when in reality we're being invited to build something worth partnering with. People don't partner with potential. They partner with movement. They partner with momentum. They partner with someone who has already started building.

Maybe you've been carrying a vision for months. Maybe it's been years. A business. A nonprofit. A book. A ministry. A community initiative. A creative project. Whatever it is, perhaps this is your building season too. Not because everything is figured out. Not because you suddenly have all the money. But because you're finally willing to take the next step. I've come to believe that stewardship isn't just protecting the vision God gives you. It's building it. One decision. One conversation. One partnership. One act of obedience at a time.

If you're in a season where you're trying to move from vision to execution, I'd love to help. I've begun working with purpose-driven entrepreneurs who are ready to build the business, brand, or initiative they've been carrying in their hearts. Together, we'll clarify your vision, create a strategic roadmap, identify partnership opportunities, and develop an actionable plan so you can move forward with confidence.

If that sounds like the season you're in, I'd love to connect.

More than 40 creatives walked through the doors. Artists. Entrepreneurs. Photographers. Videographers. Event curators. Business owners. People who simply wanted to be in a room with others building something meaningful.

But if I’m honest, that’s not the story I want to share with you.

The story is what almost kept me from enjoying it.

Lately, anxiety has been showing up in ways I’m not used to. It’s been so persistent that I’ve noticed it changing parts of my personality. I’ve never been the quiet one in the room. I’ve never been afraid to introduce myself, speak up, or take the lead. Yet this season of entrepreneurship has required more faith than any season I’ve ever experienced.

From the outside, it probably doesn’t look that way.

People see that I bought a plane ticket and flew to Indianapolis to present at EmployIndy’s Career Coaching Summit. They see that I’ve successfully hosted networking events. They see the content, the photos, and the momentum.

What they don’t see are the questions that show up before every opportunity.

What if no one comes? What if it’s boring? What if I don’t do a good job hosting? Should I have hired a DJ? Did I plan enough?

Those thoughts can become loud enough to make you question everything God has already called you to do.

This event felt different from the very beginning.

I designed a flyer that immediately started getting shared. Mind you, I just got back on Instagram after years of a hiatus. Then something beautiful happened. People I’d met through previous networking events began sharing it with their own communities. That inspired me to create personalized promotional graphics featuring local creatives who planned to attend. They proudly shared those too, and registration notifications started to climb.

Twenty. Thirty. Forty. Fifty. Eventually, more than 60 people had signed up.

That number surprised me because it forced me to acknowledge something I’d never truly experienced before.

I finally have supporters.

For so long, building a business felt lonely. Every idea, every event, every vision felt like I was carrying it by myself. Now I’m watching people believe in the mission enough to tell other people about it. That’s different. It made me realize that this season isn’t about me becoming more visible.

It’s about the assignment becoming more visible.

The morning of the event, I woke up unusually early. Instead of working, tweaking details, or rehearsing what I wanted to say, I felt an overwhelming need to sit in silence.

I prayed. I listened. I waited.

When I arrived at the venue, something shifted.

Peace.

Almost immediately, I ran into an old acquaintance who also curates events. We spent time talking about Baton Rouge, the local entertainment scene, and the incredible opportunity that exists within our city’s growing creator economy.

Then people started arriving.

Without any prompting, they made their way to the bar, introduced themselves to strangers, exchanged social media accounts, and started genuine conversations.

I barely had to orchestrate anything. It simply happened. That’s when I knew this wasn’t something I was forcing.

God had already gone before me. My first two networking events were hosted inside a local shoe store. They were intimate, intentional, and exactly what they needed to be.

This time, however, I felt led to choose a larger venue. It already had music, food, and it had a full bar. Most importantly, it had room for conversations to naturally happen.

Unlike my previous events, where I personally covered expenses out of pocket, this venue allowed me to simply focus on serving the community instead of stressing over every dollar. That freedom mattered more than I realized. As more people continued walking through the doors, every fear I had carried that morning became quieter. The anxiety that had convinced me something would go wrong was exposed for what it really was.

A distraction.

How many opportunities have we almost missed because we believed our fear more than God’s promise? Last night reminded me that anxiety often speaks the loudest right before breakthrough.

It tells us we’re unprepared. It tells us we’re alone. It tells us we’ve forgotten something. It tells us we’re going to fail. Meanwhile, God has already been preparing people, opening doors, and aligning circumstances long before we ever arrive.

The event itself was incredible, but what stayed with me afterward were the conversations. People thanked me for creating a space where they could finally meet other creatives. They continuously walked up to me, sparking conversations about collaborations and what’s next!

They exchanged numbers. New relationships began. Content creators found photographers. Artists met entrepreneurs. Ideas became introductions.

And suddenly I realized...

This is bigger than a networking event.

This is infrastructure for Baton Rouge’s creator economy. Seeing the content captured throughout the evening, reading heartfelt messages afterward, and hearing people’s testimonies reignited something inside of me. Just days ago, I felt discouraged enough to wonder if I should keep going. Last night reminded me why I started.

This event welcomed more than 40+ attendees, roughly double the turnout of my previous gatherings. While I’m grateful for the numbers, what matters even more is what they represent.

Growth doesn’t happen in isolation. Vision requires people. Success requires community. And purpose multiplies when other people decide they believe in it too.

I’m learning that entrepreneurship isn’t simply about building a business. It’s about building the capacity to carry what God is entrusting you with. Sometimes that means creating systems. Sometimes it means asking for help. Sometimes it means sitting quietly before an event because your spirit needs to remember what your mind has forgotten. God has never asked me to carry the outcome. He’s only asked me to remain faithful to the assignment. Last night was a reminder that when He opens a door, anxiety doesn’t get the final word.

Faith does.

I did an interview with someone God connected me to through one of my “assignment events”. Check it out HERE!

I’ve been in this weird place with my faith lately.

I’ve been striving to be productive in my business. Every day, I’m doing something. I’m submitting grants. Sending proposals. Applying for contract opportunities. Updating documents. Looking for the next opportunity.

And none of those things are bad. In fact, they’re necessary. But I realized something recently...

The things I’ve been doing are the things that don’t require much faith.

Submitting a proposal is easy. Once I hit “submit,” it’s out of my hands. Same thing with grants. I do my part and wait for someone else’s decision. But the things God has specifically been showing me to do? Those are the things I’ve been procrastinating.

Hosting more networking events. Hosting paid workshops. Creating consistent content to build my brand. Showing up online. Putting myself out there more.

Every time I think about doing those things, I feel anxiety.

Not because I don’t know how.

I’ve hosted events before.

I’ve taught workshops before.

I know how to create content.

So why am I avoiding them?

The answer wasn’t what I expected.

It’s because those things require faith.

Real faith.

Buy me a matcha!

The kind of faith where you’re exposed. The kind where you have to put your name on something and hope people show up. The kind where you announce a workshop before anyone has registered. The kind where you consistently post content before you have the audience you want.

I realized I haven’t been avoiding work.

I’ve been avoiding vulnerability.

After walking through what felt like a losing season, I don’t think I’ve fully recovered from the disappointment. Disappointment has a way of making you play it safe. You don’t stop working. You just start choosing work that feels emotionally safer. Work where rejection doesn’t feel so personal. Work where your confidence isn’t on the line. Work where if nothing happens, you can simply move on to the next application.

But obedience doesn’t usually work like that.

God keeps bringing me back to the things that make me uncomfortable.

Not because they’re impossible. Because they require me to trust Him. Then I noticed this wasn’t just showing up in my business.

It followed me to the gym.

Lately I’ve been saying I want to sculpt my back. I’ve saved a hundred inspo pictures and exercises to help me achieve this goal and yet I keep settling for the treadmill.

There’s nothing wrong with cardio. But cardio isn’t what produces the result I desire.

It’s just easier. It requires less discomfort. Less effort. Less risk of feeling weak.

And I had to ask myself...

How many areas of my life have I started settling for “easy” because “hard” reminds me that I could be disappointed again? That’s what fear does. It doesn’t always stop you from moving. Sometimes it just redirects your energy toward things that feel safer.

You stay busy. You stay productive. But you quietly avoid the very thing God told you to do. And I think that’s where I’ve been. I’ve mistaken productivity for obedience.

I’ve been asking God to bless my business while avoiding the assignments that require the greatest amount of faith. Not because I don’t believe He can do it, but because I’m scared of what it’ll feel like if it doesn’t happen the way I imagined.

Upon realizing all of this, I can honestly say I feel my faith coming back.

At the end of the day, I know I’m called to this. That has never changed. What changed was my confidence after experiencing disappointment.

Last night I attended an event filled with powerful Black women. We shared stories, laughed together, cried together, and encouraged one another. At one point, I opened up about losing my apartment and my car while following what I believed God was calling me to do. I even shared how that season caused me to lose faith not necessarily in God, but in what I thought following Him was supposed to look like.

I expected obedience to produce immediate fruit. Instead, it produced loss before it produced growth.

But listening to those women share their own stories reminded me that perseverance isn’t something you read about. It’s something you live through. Every woman in that room had a story. Every woman had experienced setbacks. Yet every single one of them was still showing up.

Something shifted in me.

Instead of drowning in my fears, I decided to get back up. And honestly...I’ve been doing just that.

I’m hosting my next networking event on July 9th in Baton Rouge. If you’re a creative, entrepreneur, or someone looking to connect with other ambitious people in the city, I’d love to see you there. RSVP Here!

The more I think about it, the more I realize my desire to see creatives and entrepreneurs thrive in Baton Rouge isn’t just a business idea. I really believe there’s an assignment attached to it.

Funny how fear had me isolating myself when the very thing I needed was community.

My faith is coming back.

I believe the disappointment wasn’t meant to destroy me. It was meant to teach me resilience. It was meant to show me that receiving an assignment from God doesn’t exempt you from the work. If anything, it requires even more of it.

I spent so much time trying to run from the assignment because I wanted to avoid the disappointment that came with it. Now I’m realizing the disappointment was part of the assignment too.

Eventually, someone will buy the offer. More people will show up to the events. The workshops will fill. The opportunities will come. And one day my career will look a lot like the vision God placed in my heart years ago.

Not because it happened overnight, but because I kept showing up after every reason to quit.

Maybe this was part of His plan after all.

Maybe He wasn’t just building the business.

Maybe He was building the woman who would be trusted to carry it.

But maybe that’s what faith has always been. Not waiting until you’re confident. Not waiting until the anxiety goes away. Not waiting until the outcome feels guaranteed. Maybe faith is doing the thing anyway. Maybe the assignments I’ve been avoiding are actually the ones God wants to use the most.

Maybe the events, the workshops, and the content aren’t just business strategies.

Maybe they’re invitations to trust Him again.

And maybe this season isn’t about building my business.

Maybe it’s about rebuilding my faith.

Lately, the phrase “above average” has been sitting heavily on me. Not from a place of ego or superiority, but from a place of conviction. I keep looking around at the world, especially within entrepreneurship and creative spaces, and noticing how much sameness exists. Everyone is building the same businesses, using the same strategies, reposting the same ideas, following the same trends, and packaging themselves in nearly identical ways. It feels like people are no longer creating from vision but from imitation. Somewhere along the way, many lost the courage to think differently.

What troubles me most is how normalized average has become.

People are taught to follow systems so rigidly that they no longer know how to hear God creatively. We have become so dependent on formulas that innovation feels risky instead of necessary. Yet I believe this is the exact season where God is calling many of His people to move beyond average thinking. Not average faith, average resilience, average discipline, or average execution, but something higher. Something more intentional. Something set apart.

I recently had a conversation with a friend about her real estate journey. She expressed frustration because although she has been selling homes, she still has not been able to secure a place of her own. As she talked, I realized how deeply that struggle resonated with me because I know what it feels like to work tirelessly while still feeling like breakthrough is moving slower than expected. More importantly, I realized how many people are currently living in that same tension. There are countless gifted, intelligent, hardworking people who are showing up consistently and still finding themselves in seasons where things feel unusually difficult.

Entrepreneurs are struggling to maintain momentum.

Many people cannot find jobs despite applying repeatedly. Clients are not flowing the way they once did. Even people with talent and experience are encountering resistance in ways they never expected. It can feel discouraging when you know you are capable yet life still demands more endurance from you. However, I do not believe this is a season where God is telling people to give up. I believe this is a season where He is developing grit.

There is a kind of resilience that only pressure can produce. Comfort cannot teach endurance. Easy seasons cannot develop strategy, innovation, or spiritual maturity in the same way difficult seasons can. What I am beginning to understand is that many people are being stretched beyond average because average will not sustain what God is preparing them to carry.

Average people stop when things stop working. Above average people adapt.

They become creative when resources are limited. They network when applications go unanswered. They build relationships instead of waiting endlessly for opportunities to appear. They create solutions instead of complaining about broken systems. When one route becomes blocked, they ask God for wisdom to build another path entirely.

This season requires a different level of thinking. It requires people who are willing to move beyond conventional approaches and challenge the limitations around them. If everyone is competing in overcrowded spaces, perhaps God is calling you to create something no one else has considered yet. If traditional doors continue to close, perhaps your assignment is not simply to enter systems but to build new ones.

I also believe this season is exposing where people place their investments. Many are willing to spend money on temporary happiness while refusing to invest in the very things that could transform their lives long term. People will spend on distractions, comfort, appearances, and escape, yet hesitate when it comes to investing in their health, discipline, systems, healing, education, or growth. The reality is that sustainable transformation often requires sacrifice before it produces visible reward.

That is why resilience matters so much right now.

The people who survive and thrive in this season will not necessarily be the most talented people. They will be the people willing to remain consistent under pressure. The people willing to think differently. The people willing to stay disciplined while results appear delayed. The people willing to keep building while others are quitting.

I truly believe Heaven is honoring builders in this hour.

Not people with perfect circumstances, unlimited finances, or easy lives, but people with endurance. People who continue showing up despite uncertainty. People who continue creating despite rejection. People who refuse to let difficulty convince them to shrink back into mediocrity.

Perhaps that is the real invitation of this season.

Not to pray for easier conditions, but to become stronger, wiser, more disciplined, and more innovative. To become the kind of people who do not fold when systems fail us. To become people who know how to pivot, create, endure, and build regardless of opposition.

Maybe God is allowing pressure because pressure reveals who is willing to remain average and who is willing to become something greater.

Above average is not about status.

It is about mindset. It is about resilience. It is about refusing to conform to limitations when God is calling you to create beyond them.

And I believe the people willing to embrace that mindset will become the difference in this generation.

There’s a huge opportunity sitting in front of me next week.

A potential pilot program.
A room I prayed to be in.
A chance to pitch something bigger than myself.

And if I’m honest? I’m nervous.

Not because I don’t believe I’m capable.
Not because I don’t believe I’m qualified.
But because every time you put yourself out there in business, you risk rejection.

You risk hearing no.
You risk being misunderstood.
You risk launching something you deeply believe in…and watching people scroll past it like it never existed.

That kind of vulnerability creates anxiety.

And entrepreneurs don’t talk about that enough.

People love talking about scaling, strategy, visibility, branding, and revenue goals. But very few people talk about the internal battle that happens right before you send the proposal, launch the offer, raise the price, or walk into the room.

The thoughts start showing up quietly:

“What if nobody buys?”
“What if this doesn’t work anymore?”
“What if people don’t see the value?”
“What if I fail publicly?”
“What if I’m not as good as I thought I was?”

Sometimes anxiety in business isn’t even connected to the present moment. It’s connected to old disappointments.

The launch that flopped. The post nobody engaged with. The offer that used to sell out but suddenly stopped converting. The client who ghosted you. The opportunity you thought was guaranteed.

Past failures have a way of trying to narrate your future if you let them.

And comparison makes it worse.

You look online and everybody appears confident, booked out, profitable, and certain. Meanwhile, you’re overanalyzing your pricing, questioning your expertise, and wondering if you’re making the wrong move entirely.

But lately, I’ve been realizing something:

Anxiety is not always a signal to stop.
Sometimes it’s a signal to pay attention.

Pay attention to the thoughts coming to the forefront.
Pay attention to the lies trying to attach themselves to your identity.
Pay attention to the fear underneath the hesitation.

Because anxiety has a way of exposing what we truly believe.

Do you believe your worth is attached to the outcome?
Do you believe rejection means you’re inadequate?
Do you believe one unsuccessful launch means you’re incapable?
Do you believe visibility automatically makes you vulnerable to failure?

Do you believe you’re not worthy of clients just because you’re new to the industry and are first starting out?

For me, entrepreneurship has been one of the greatest personal development journeys of my life because business will force you to confront yourself.

Your fears.
Your insecurities.
Your need for validation.
Your perfectionism.
Your fear of being seen.

And yet, despite all of that, you still have to move.

Not recklessly.
Not ignorantly.
But courageously.

Because courage is not the absence of anxiety.
It’s the decision to continue forward while feeling it.

So as I prepare for this pitch next week, I’m reminding myself of something important:

Nervousness does not mean I’m unqualified.
Fear does not mean I should shrink.
And uncertainty does not mean I’m incapable.

It simply means I care.

And maybe you need that reminder too.

The anxiety you feel around selling yourself, launching your offer, or stepping into larger rooms does not automatically mean you’re on the wrong path.

It may simply mean you’re growing into a version of yourself that your mind has not fully caught up with yet.

So don’t let fear make your decisions for you.
Interrogate the thoughts.
Challenge the lies.
Separate wisdom from insecurity.

Then move anyway.

Much of what the Bible teaches us about order, stewardship, structure, and wisdom mirrors the very principles required to build sustainable businesses. The older I get, the more I realize that God never intended vision to exist without structure. Everything He created operates through intentional systems. Creation itself was established in order. The earth has rhythms. Seasons have cycles. The body has functions. Even heaven operates with hierarchy, assignment, and administration. Nothing God builds is random, chaotic, or unsupported.

And yet somehow, many Christian entrepreneurs separate spirituality from strategy as if business systems are disconnected from biblical principles. I honestly cannot believe more believers do not recognize this. Scripture repeatedly teaches us the importance of preparation, stewardship, wisdom, multiplication, and structure, but many entrepreneurs continue building businesses with no operational foundation underneath them. They pray for increase while neglecting the systems required to sustain what they are asking God to send.

This is why overspiritualization can become dangerous for Christian entrepreneurs and business owners. Many people focus so heavily on receiving the vision spiritually that they neglect the practical responsibility of building the structure required to support it. We pray for revelation, clarity, and purpose — which absolutely matter — but sometimes we stop there, expecting God to only communicate through inspiration while overlooking the practical wisdom, strategy, systems, and stewardship needed to bring the vision into reality.

But God is not only spiritual in how He leads us. He is intentional, strategic, and practical. Throughout scripture, He consistently gave people detailed instructions, processes, measurements, assignments, and structure alongside the vision itself. The vision was never meant to exist apart from execution. Faith was never meant to replace responsibility. And I think that’s why this story matters so much to me, because it reminded me that building something sustainably often requires more than passion and inspiration — it requires infrastructure.

I recently signed a new client! 🎉

Before signing her service agreement, she asked me a question that caught me off guard for a moment. After explaining to her why the back-end system of her pretty landing page was important, she asked, “Can I just use a Google Form?” She asked casually, almost as if she was hoping the solution could stay simple and inexpensive. And honestly, it was a valid question. From her perspective, she only needed a way to capture leads and make it easier for potential clients to book. To most people, that sounds like a form problem. Add a link, collect the information, respond when someone reaches out, and move on.

Simple.

But as she continued talking through her frustrations, I realized the issue had very little to do with forms at all. The deeper issue was infrastructure. What she needed wasn’t another disconnected tool. She needed a system.

As she explained what she wanted her business to do, the gaps became more obvious.

There was no streamlined lead capture process. No automation. No backend workflow. No integrated booking experience. No payment integration. No intentional customer journey. Everything depended on manual effort. She would meet potential clients at events, hand out business cards, then spend time calling people, gathering details manually, sending pricing through text or email, waiting for responses, and eventually requesting payments through Cash App — a process that lacked structure, professionalism, and efficiency. What should have been a seamless client experience had become a cycle of unnecessary chaos, time loss, and operational friction that a proper system could have solved.

I think about how many entrepreneurs are operating this way without realizing it.

Schedule a Business Systems Audit

They are building businesses based on visibility without understanding the operational structure required to support that visibility. Modern entrepreneurship has taught people how to attract attention before teaching them how to sustain growth. People know how to create logos, build aesthetically pleasing brands, post content, and market themselves online, but very few understand backend systems, workflows, automation, customer journeys, or operational strategy. So when growth begins, the business starts straining under the weight of its own success because nothing beneath it was designed to support expansion.

I believe this is one of the hidden reasons so many entrepreneurs burn out even when their business appears successful from the outside.

What struck me most about that conversation was realizing how many entrepreneurs simply do not know what they do not know. Not because they lack intelligence or creativity, but because nobody taught them how businesses actually function beneath the surface. Nobody explained that ideas require operational architecture. Nobody taught them that every serious vision eventually demands systems capable of supporting it. Instead, many entrepreneurs are left trying to scale businesses built on improvisation. They continue investing in more marketing, more content, and more visibility while the backend of the business quietly leaks opportunities every single day.

Social media rewards appearance, branding, and perception, but businesses are sustained by systems. A polished brand may attract attention, but attention alone cannot create sustainability. If your business cannot effectively capture leads, guide customer experiences, automate communication, process payments, and create operational consistency, then growth eventually turns into pressure instead of progress.

Once we mapped everything out, the solution became much bigger than a form.

We built a landing page with intentional messaging, integrated backend workflows, automated responses, lead capture systems, booking functionality, and a smoother client experience from beginning to end. Suddenly, her business was no longer dependent on her manually controlling every interaction. The business itself became capable of supporting the client journey more efficiently. The difference was immediate. What once felt scattered began to feel structured. What once created friction began creating flow.

That experience reminded me that systems are not just technical tools.

They are strategic infrastructure. They create capacity. They reduce unnecessary labor. They protect the visionary from becoming trapped inside constant operational maintenance. Most entrepreneurs think scaling is about reaching more people, but scaling is really about increasing operational capacity. Because eventually every growing business reaches the same crossroads: either the systems evolve, or the founder becomes overwhelmed trying to personally carry the weight of the growth alone.

The truth is that many entrepreneurs do not actually need more motivation. They need operational clarity. They need someone to help translate the vision in their head into systems that can support sustainability, growth, and expansion. There is a major difference between having an idea and building an ecosystem around that idea. One creates excitement. The other creates longevity.

Picture - (I scheduled a meeting with someone I had never met before while on a business trip in Indianapolis. The conversation was productive and strategically aligned. What God has called me to requires consistent bold execution and unwavering faith. This level of obedience demands discipline, courage, and intentional movement every step of the way.)

There’s a level of unlearning that doesn’t feel gentle. It feels disruptive. It feels confronting. And if I’m being honest, it can even make you a little frustrated when you realize how much you were taught without the full picture.

Lately, I’ve been wrestling with the idea of faith—not because I don’t believe in it, but because I’ve had to redefine what it actually looks like in practice. For a long time, I was taught, directly and indirectly, that faith meant waiting. That if I prayed enough, believed enough, and hoped long enough, God would move on my behalf. That somehow, my responsibility ended at belief.

But that version of faith left me stagnant.

Because hoping alone will get you nowhere.

At some point, I had to come face-to-face with the truth that the Bible never supported passive faith. It never endorsed the idea that you could sit still, avoid responsibility, and expect outcomes to materialize just because you believed they would. The reality is much more sobering and much more empowering.

Faith without works is dead.

Not inactive. Not delayed. Dead.

And yet, so many of us were never taught how to translate that into real life. We were taught how to pray, but not how to plan. We were taught how to believe, but not how to build. We were taught how to wait on God, but not how to move when He already gave us instructions.

So we end up in cycles—praying for opportunities we’re not prepared for, asking God for provision without positioning ourselves to steward it, and waiting for doors to open that require us to first turn the handle.

That’s not faith. That’s avoidance disguised as spirituality.

And I say that with accountability, because I’ve lived it.

There were seasons where I was “waiting on God,” but if I’m honest, God was waiting on me to act on what He already showed me. Waiting on me to make a decision. Waiting on me to step out, even if I didn’t have every detail mapped out.

What I’m learning now is that faith is not just belief—it’s movement. It’s strategy. It’s execution.

And here’s where the unlearning comes in: not every season requires the same type of faith.

Some seasons require what we’ve been taught to call blind faith—the kind where you move without seeing the full picture, trusting God step by step. But other seasons require something different. They require strategic faith.

Strategic faith is when God has already given you clarity, and now He’s expecting you to apply wisdom, make decisions, and execute. It’s when prayer is no longer the only step—it’s the foundation, but action is the assignment.

And this is the part that isn’t talked about enough.

Because it’s easier to tell people to “just have faith” than it is to teach them how to partner with God through discipline, strategy, and responsibility. It’s easier to preach hope than it is to teach execution. But when we only teach one side, we leave people spiritually inspired but practically stuck.

And that gap is costly.

It keeps people waiting in seasons where they should be building. It keeps people second-guessing themselves when they should be making informed decisions. It keeps people in cycles of delay, not because God isn’t moving, but because they haven’t moved.

Even unwise decisions will teach you something. They will refine your discernment. They will strengthen your ability to hear God more clearly. They will develop your capacity to navigate what you once prayed for. But you don’t learn any of that by standing still.

You learn it by moving.

That’s what faith actually looks like in motion. Not perfection, but participation. Not having every answer, but being willing to take responsibility for your next step.

Subscribe now

And if I can be honest, I’ve had to sit with some frustration around this. Not at God, but at the gaps in what we’ve been taught. Because there are still messages being preached that suggest hoping and praying alone guarantees results, without emphasizing the role of action, discipline, and stewardship.

And that’s incomplete.

God is not a substitute for responsibility. He is a partner in it.

So yes, pray. Yes, believe. Yes, trust God fully. But also build. Also plan. Also execute. Also, develop the discipline to follow through on what you’ve been given.

Because faith is not proven in what you say you believe.

It’s revealed in how you move.

And maybe this season of your life isn’t about waiting for God to do something new. Maybe it’s about responding to what He’s already said. Maybe it’s about shifting from passive faith to active faith. From hopeful thinking to strategic execution.

Because the truth is, God will meet you in your movement, but He will not replace it.

And once you unlearn that waiting is the highest form of faith, you’ll finally understand what it means to walk in it.

If you’re an entrepreneur who feels stuck between vision and execution, this is built for you.

My Strategic Planning Call (2 hours) is designed to bring clarity, structure, and direction to what you’re building.

This past week, I had the opportunity to attend EmployIndy’s Career Coaching and Advisory Summit, where I led a session titled Reframing the Modern Journey: Coaching the Multifaceted Professional. Even now, it’s hard to fully articulate what that experience meant to me. Not just because I stood in a room and shared my knowledge, but because of what it represented. This wasn’t a paid engagement. It was a strategic decision—two, actually. I made the intentional choice to accept unpaid speaking opportunities as a way to establish credibility and expand my footprint in an industry I’m still breaking into. But let’s be clear: strategy may have positioned me, but favor opened the door.

As someone who has never formally operated in this space, being selected to lead sessions and pour into others at that level was confirmation that this calling is bigger than my résumé. It reminded me that when God places something inside of you, He doesn’t wait for the world to validate it before creating opportunities for it to be expressed. That realization alone shifted something in me.

But what surprised me most about this trip had nothing to do with the stage. It had everything to do with who I saw myself becoming off of it. I stayed in a beautiful hotel, the kind of space that forces you to sit with yourself a little longer. I took myself out on a solo date to eat at Yard House, and somewhere between ordering my meal and sitting there alone, I realized that God wasn’t just providing opportunities—He was restoring something in me. Confidence. Trust. Security in who I am when no one else is around to affirm it.

I’ve always approached my entrepreneurial journey like a checklist—tasks to complete, goals to hit, outcomes to produce. Rarely have I allowed myself to see those moments as milestones or, more importantly, identity markers. I knew I was gifted. I knew I was capable. But knowing and acknowledging are two very different things. I never gave myself permission to truly sit with my accomplishments. I convinced myself that doing so would somehow make me prideful, that humility required me to downplay my excellence.

But that belief was incomplete.

As I’ve been reading Start With Yourself by Emma Grede, something has been unfolding in my perspective. There is a boldness she carries—one that makes space for women, especially Black women, to own their ambition without apology. To speak their worth. To fully embody the identity of a high-achieving woman. And as I’ve sat with that, I’ve had to confront a truth within myself: I have been obedient, yes. I have given God the glory, absolutely. But I have not given myself credit for the courage it takes to say yes to Him.

And that matters.

Because the journey of pursuit is not just a reflection of obedience—it is a reflection of character. It is evidence of a woman who is willing to move, to stretch, to show up, even when it’s uncomfortable, even when it’s uncertain. That’s not something to dismiss. That’s something to honor.

For so long, I believed that in order to remain humble, I had to make myself smaller. That acknowledging my own excellence would somehow dishonor God. But what I’m learning now is that confidence and humility are not in competition. True confidence is rooted in the understanding that everything I have comes from Him, but it also requires me to steward it well, to walk in it boldly, and to recognize it when I see it in myself.

What’s even more interesting is that confidence was always there. I just never called it that. I moved through life being obedient, taking steps, showing up—but I never paused to say, “You’re doing this. You’re becoming her.” It took this trip—getting on planes again, stepping into new rooms, delivering that session with clarity and authority—for me to finally look at myself and say, “Good job. You did that.”

And saying that out loud felt unfamiliar, but necessary.

I’m proud of myself. Even writing that feels like breaking a rule I didn’t realize I had been living by. But that’s the truth. I’m proud—not just of what I accomplished, but of who I’m becoming in the process. Seeing women like Emma Grede has helped me understand that owning your power does not mean removing God from the equation. It means trusting that the same God who gave you the vision also expects you to walk in it with confidence.

So this is an invitation, especially to women who have been taught to shrink in order to stay “humble.” Start looking at your life differently. Your accomplishments are not accidents. Your discipline is not random. Your willingness to pursue what’s in your heart is not something to overlook. Stop being afraid to give yourself credit. Stop being afraid to admit that you are proud of who you’re becoming.

God knows your heart. He sees your humility. And maybe, just maybe, this next level isn’t about doing more—it’s about embracing a version of yourself you’ve been too afraid to fully acknowledge.

For many of us, especially as Black women, we’ve inherited a quiet narrative that says loving yourself out loud is dangerous. That confidence will be misinterpreted. That owning your greatness will invite backlash. But that is a pattern that deserves to be broken.

There is nothing wrong with recognizing that you are her.

Not in arrogance. Not in pride. But in alignment.

And if this season has taught me anything, it’s that becoming who God called you to be will require you to not only trust Him—but to finally see yourself the way He always has.

If this resonated with you, it may be time to move beyond reflection and into strategic execution.

I’m currently offering a 2-Hour Strategic Planning Intensive designed for entrepreneurs who are ready to gain clarity, refine their direction, and build a focused path forward. This is not a surface-level conversation. We're having a working session to align your vision with a real strategy.

During our time together, we will co-create a customized 90-day plan tailored to your goals, priorities, and current season. You’ll walk away with clearly defined next steps, aligned revenue strategies, and a structured roadmap that removes guesswork and positions you to move with confidence and intention.

If you’re ready to stop overthinking and start executing with clarity, this is your next step.

Secure your session and let’s build what’s next—strategically.

Your multifaceted nature is not random. It’s a reflection of God’s promises unfolding in your life, particularly in the area of wealth, stewardship, and legacy. For years, many of us have embraced the identity of being the generational curse breaker, the chosen one, the one set apart, the one called to bring our families into the knowledge of God’s love and His Kingdom. That identity is real, and it is necessary. But there is another dimension to your calling that often goes unaddressed, sometimes even avoided.

The call to generational wealth.

Scripture makes it clear in Deuteronomy 28 that obedience positions you differently. You are called to be the lender and not the borrower, the head and not the tail. This is not just spiritual symbolism. It is economic positioning. It is God establishing you as a distributor, a builder, and a carrier of resources that extend beyond your personal life and into your family, your community, and His Kingdom.

Many have accepted the call to break cycles, but fewer have accepted the responsibility to build what comes after the cycle is broken. The spiritual cycles were broken. You’ve gone through the season of pruning soul wounds like lust, perversion, pride, and more. That part of the process has ended.

Yes, you may still struggle with some things, but the curse no longer has you bound. Why? Because that hard season of pruning, warring in the spirit, fasting for your bloodline, and breaking the strongholds Satan had over you has passed. That kind of breaking was only the beginning. Now it’s time for a new curse to be broken, and that’s poverty and financial lack.

Building requires vision, discipline, stewardship, and a willingness to carry weight that previous generations may have never encountered. God is not just raising you up to escape lack. He is raising you up to establish order, create opportunity, and expand impact.

If you have spent most of your life experiencing lack, yet continuously receive visions of wealth, leadership, and influence, you are not imagining things. You are being introduced to your future. The tension you feel between your current reality and what God shows you is not confusion. It’s confirmation.

Consider Joseph, who endured years of slavery and imprisonment before being elevated to oversee the economic structure of a nation. Or David, who spent years tending sheep before stepping into the palace, first as a musician and eventually as a king. Their beginnings did not resemble their endings, but their process prepared them for their assignments.

The deficit you experienced was not a sign that God was withholding from you. It was evidence that He was developing you. There are things that can only be learned in seasons where your needs are met, but your wants are not. In those seasons, God teaches contentment, humility, discipline, and dependence. He teaches you how to manage a little so you will not mismanage much.

Because wealth, without the proper character to sustain it, becomes destructive. But wealth anchored in obedience and stewardship becomes generational.

This is why your journey has required you to “figure it out” in ways that may have felt uncomfortable or even unfair. You learned how to stretch resources, how to survive uncertainty, and how to remain faithful without visible results. You learned how to keep going when there was no guarantee of stability. These were not random hardships. They were strategic developments. God was forming your capacity to carry what you once prayed for.

It is important to understand that this call is not about accumulating wealth for personal indulgence.

It is about freedom, the freedom to build without limitation, to fund what God has placed in your hands, and to support the assignments of others. You are being positioned not only to finance your own vision but to become a resource for the visions around you. This is why God has drawn your attention to principles of stewardship, giving, inheritance, and financial wisdom over time. He has been preparing you to manage what is coming.

There comes a point where your relationship with money must shift.

It can no longer be rooted in survival, fear, or scarcity. It must be rooted in stewardship. The question is no longer, “How do I get more?” but “Lord, what do You want me to do with what You’ve given me?” Every dollar becomes a responsibility. Every opportunity becomes a decision point. Every increase becomes a test of alignment. This level of maturity is not developed quickly. It is cultivated over time, through both lack and provision.

Now, as you begin to recognize the expansion of your gifts, the diversification of your skills, and the increase in ideas and opportunities, you may notice a shift.

God is not just showing you what you can do. He is showing you what you will steward. The multifaceted nature you once questioned is now revealing itself as capacity. Multiple streams of thought, creativity, and strategy are indicators of multiple streams of impact and provision.

For some, this will manifest through land, properties, or business ownership. For others, it will emerge through innovation, partnerships, or large-scale initiatives that extend beyond what you can currently comprehend. But the common thread is this. God has been highlighting it for a reason. He does not reveal without intention, and He does not promise without preparation.

The wilderness seasons taught you how to depend on Him when you had nothing. The seasons of stability taught you how to depend on Him when you had something. Now, you are entering a phase where He is looking for those who can depend on Him with much. This is where many struggle, not because they lack desire, but because they lack the internal alignment to carry what they have been shown.

But if you have allowed God to refine your heart, if you have embraced the lessons of stewardship, if you have remained faithful in the unseen seasons, then what is ahead of you is not something to fear. It is something you have been prepared for.

When God first exposed me to the industry of project management, I immediately thought about my multifaceted nature. I’ve always been someone with a range of interests, ideas, and creative directions. But in that moment, I realized something deeper:

None of it was random.

God knew I would be drawn to many things and that every single one of those things would be connected to my purpose and assignment. He also knew I needed the skills that come with project management and that I needed a season of training and development as well. Each season produced a level of learning and development for the overall vision He had given me as an Entrepreneur. Most of those seasons included a job.

One day, I was watching something on TV and felt inspired to create a similar project. Immediately, my creativity came alive. Ideas started flowing, and I began thinking through the logistics:

• What would it take to bring this to life?

• What resources would I need?

• How would I structure and execute it?

And then it hit me:

“I’m prepared for this.”

That moment shifted everything. The knowledge I gained through project management…The experience I had from my own personal projects…The way I naturally thought through systems, execution, and outcomes…

None of it was accidental. It was preparation. God had already equipped me with what I needed to build what He placed in my heart. That tells me something. When opportunities come, I’ll be prepared to execute because He already prepared me for it. When the help comes, I’ll be prepared for it. When the resources come, I’ll be prepared for it. Everything that WILL come, preparation will be present.

Your Job Is Not a Distraction—It’s a Tool

Not only did God lead me into project management, but He also allowed me to build a career from it that created stability and opportunity. And that’s when I understood that God will use your job as a stepping stone for your business and your assignment. There have been seasons where I had a great job and pursued entrepreneurship part-time. And there have been seasons where I didn’t. Both were necessary.

We hear a lot of testimonies about people quitting their jobs after hearing from God and everything working out perfectly. But that’s not everyone’s story. It wasn’t mine.

There was a time when I believed I heard God tell me to leave my job and pursue entrepreneurship full-time. And it didn’t go as planned. I lost everything and had to start over with a new strategy, a new mindset, a new heart posture, and a deeper understanding of what God was actually calling me to build.

That experience taught me something critical:

Every season requires discernment.

Subscribe now

Not Every Season Requires You to Quit

Some seasons will require:

• A 9 to 5

• Entrepreneurship part-time

• Both

• Or a full leap into business

Whatever it is, Entrepreneurship must be pursued regardless of your current situation. (If you’re called to it) The mistake many of us make is wanting to walk in faith without embracing wisdom.

We want to quit our jobs for the wrong reasons:

• Frustration

• Impatience

• Comparison

• Misinterpreting pressure as a signal to move

Instead of asking:
What is my assignment in this season, and what does it require from me?

If you are called to entrepreneurship, you should be building. Not forcing. Not striving. Not ignoring seasons of rest but building, planning, and executing what God allows you to do in your current moment.

Whether you have a 9 to 5, in a slow season, not making money yet, still figuring out your offers, you are still responsible for showing up. The anointing still flows, and the vision still stands. Maybe you’re trying to figure out whether you should stay at your job and build part-time, or should you leave and go all in? Maybe you’re thinking you should finally start what you’ve been sitting on?

If that’s you, I want to help you navigate that decision with both faith and strategy.

God started showing me yet another business venture the other day, and I want to share the revelation I got from it.

For years, I’ve been here before. God would expose me to a career path, and I’d begin pursuing it, but then after some time, he’ll start showing me something else. This confused me! I thought a career path was supposed to be linear and straightforward, but obviously God has me on a different journey.

I wrestled with the feeling that I was “all over the place” professionally. One day, I’d be creating, the next day leading strategy, then coaching or writing. I questioned if I was missing God’s timing, if I wasn’t focused enough, or if I was somehow failing His plan for my life.

As I laid in my bed the other night, feeling overwhelmed by the many things God revealed to me, it hit me. The question of why lingered deep in my soul. I often would ask: “God, just show me ONE THING I could stick to consistently.” Then God gave me a revelation that put things into perspective. The reason why I’m multifaceted is because HE is multifaceted. We often try to figure out God’s true nature and character but we fail. No God does not change or switch up on us, he’s just beyond our understanding. As human beings, trying to understand His ways and thoughts is outside of our ability. (Isaiah 55:8-9)

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
⁹ “As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.

The purpose of God showing me so many career paths is not to confuse me, but to show me ways to generate wealth as an Entrepreneur. Being multifaceted is a part of my calling and my identity. The more I wrestle with God’s direction, the more I begin to frustrate myself without this knowledge and understanding.

Each skill, each interest, each career exploration is a building block for the greater purpose He has called me to: entrepreneurship and generational impact.

God invites us to explore, to develop our gifts, to gain wisdom, and to prepare ourselves for what He’s building in us and through us. The different career paths, the projects, the experiments, they’re all part of the curriculum. They’re teaching you discipline, strategy, creativity, leadership, and resilience. They are shaping you to operate in your God-given territory of entrepreneurship, and they are all working together.

Entrepreneurship, at its core, is about creating, stewarding, and multiplying resources. And when God shows you multiple avenues, it’s not a sign of confusion, it’s a sign of preparation for generational wealth. Each skill you develop, each opportunity you pursue, equips you to build something lasting, something that can provide for your family, your community, and even generations to come.

So, if you’ve been feeling like you’re “all over the place,” take heart. You’re not behind. You’re not missing God’s plan. You’re learning, positioning, and being prepared. I know that sounds generic, but it’s true. Had I realized this years ago, I wouldn’t have become so frustrated with the pivots. I would have taken each pivot as an opportunity to learn a new skill or develop a new business model for a particular venture. Instead of looking at your multifaceted nature as a stumbling block or an inconvenience, look at it as a wealth-generating strategy God himself uses for your benefit. You’re called and set apart for a reason. And if you’re really called to be an entrepreneur, your path won’t look like anyone else’s anyway.

Your path isn’t random. Your preparation is strategic. And your future is already written in God’s plan through entrepreneurship, impact, and generational wealth.

There was a time when I believed that if something wasn’t working, it simply wasn’t God’s will.

If the numbers were low…
If the response wasn’t immediate…
If the opportunity didn’t open as quickly as I expected…

I took that as a sign to pivot.

Or worse—quit.

So reaching 1,000 subscribers isn’t just a number for me. It’s a milestone that represents something much deeper:

Growth.
Maturity.
And a hard-earned understanding of what it actually means to walk with God in business.

Because if I’m honest, I didn’t always have resilience.

The Misinterpretation That Cost Me Momentum

In my earlier seasons of entrepreneurship, I operated with a very narrow lens. I thought obedience meant ease. I thought alignment meant immediate results. And I thought if something required too much resistance, too much patience, or too much uncertainty, it must not be God.

So whenever something didn’t “work,” I labeled it quickly:

“That’s not for me.”
“God must be closing that door.”

But what I didn’t realize was this:

I wasn’t discerning God’s voice. I was reacting to discomfort.

And that mindset cost me more than I knew at the time.

It cost me consistency. It cost me momentum. And in many ways, it delayed the very things I had been praying for.

Subscribe now

What I Know Now About Resilience

Resilience isn’t just about pushing through for the sake of it.

It’s about understanding the difference between a closed door and a process you’re meant to endure.

Because not everything that feels hard is a “no.”

Sometimes, it’s a “stay.”
Sometimes, it’s a “build.”
Sometimes, it’s a “trust me while I develop you.”

There were seasons where God wasn’t telling me to stop. He was waiting for me to keep going. To refine what I started. To stay committed when the results weren’t visible yet. To build something with Him, not just respond to Him.

That’s where perseverance and faith meet.

The Quiet Work No One Talks About

What 1,000 subscribers represents isn’t just growth on a platform. It represents the quiet decisions no one saw:

Showing up when I didn’t feel like it.
Writing when the response was minimal.
Continuing even when I questioned if it was making an impact.

It represents choosing consistency over constant reinvention. Because truthfully, the temptation to pivot is always there, especially when you’re not seeing immediate results. When I first started my Substack, it felt like I was talking to a brick wall. I started off posting out of desire and a reignited passion to write.

I’ve always been a writer. I started writing when I was a little girl. Writing my thoughts down on paper made my ideas and passions real for a change. It felt tangible and realistic outside of what I’d always hoped for. One day, maybe a few months into my journey, a post went viral and brought in a whole lot of subscribers.

Months later, another post went viral and yielded the same results, but only this time, it reached more than 12,000 people. One post. One idea. One urge to press publish. I wasn’t expecting that to happen, but imagine if I didn’t stick with it. Imagine if I allowed the quietness to turn into disappointment. Those posts would not have reached the people they reached. My voice would have stayed silenced.

No, I don’t have a million paid subscribers, but I believe the ultimate goal was to test my resilience and be obedient regardless of the benefits.

Faith Isn’t Just Starting—It’s Staying

We talk a lot about faith when it comes to beginning something.

Stepping out. Taking the leap. Saying yes to God.

But we don’t talk enough about the faith required to stay.

To stay when it’s quiet. To stay when it’s unclear.
To stay when the growth doesn’t match your expectations.

That’s where I’ve grown the most.

Because now I understand:

Faith isn’t just about obedience in the beginning.

It’s about endurance in the middle.

Somewhere along this journey, my perspective shifted. Instead of asking, “Is this working?” I started asking, “Am I being consistent?” Instead of asking, “Is this God’s will?” I started asking, “Did God tell me to stop?” And if the answer was no… I kept going. That shift alone changed everything. Because clarity often comes after commitment, not before.

If you’ve been reading, supporting, subscribing…..thank you!

You’re not just a number. You’re a part of a journey that has required me to grow in ways I didn’t expect. And if you’re in a season where you’re questioning what you’re building, let me leave you with this:

Not everything that feels difficult is misalignment. Sometimes, it’s development.

Sometimes, God isn’t calling you to pivot. He’s calling you to persevere.

And the version of you that learns how to stay…
will be the version of you that finally sees it through.

Here’s to 1,000.

And more importantly, here’s to becoming the kind of person who doesn’t quit when it gets hard.

After my prayer time this morning, I got a visual I can’t shake.

Imagine you’re a track runner.

And God is your coach.

He’s not behind you, He’s ahead of you. Calling you forward. Encouraging you. Reminding you why you started in the first place.

“Keep going.”
“Don’t stop.”
“Finish the race.”

But somewhere along the run…you get tired.

Your legs start to burn. Your breathing gets heavy. The weight of the journey starts to hit you all at once. And in that moment, the thought creeps in:

Maybe I should just slow down.
Maybe I should stop altogether.

So you ease up.

And the moment you slow down…your opponent starts catching up.

Now here’s the part that shifted everything for me.

That opponent isn’t always someone else.

Sometimes, it’s the old version of you.

The version of you that lived without direction.
The version of you that moved without God.
The version of you that operated in fear, depression, confusion, and cycles you thought you broke.

And in other moments, that opponent is the enemy waiting for an opportunity to pull you back into what God already brought you out of.

Either way, the moment you slow down, something starts gaining on you.

Meanwhile, God is still ahead of you.

Still calling you forward.
Still holding the vision.
Still waiting at the finish line.

That’s what living in pursuit really looks like.

It’s movement.

Constant movement toward what God has for you.

Not perfection. Not speed. But movement.

Because the moment you stop moving forward, you don’t stay still, you become vulnerable.

Vulnerable to old habits.
Vulnerable to old mindsets.
Vulnerable to patterns you thought you outgrew.

And now you’re wondering, “What happened? Why do I feel like I’m going backwards?”

It’s not that you lost everything.

It’s that you stopped trusting the process.

buy me a matcha! 😊

Somewhere along the way, you leaned into your own understanding. You started questioning God’s direction. You got tired of the pace. Tired of the waiting. Tired of the pressure.

And truthfully? The journey can feel heavy.

The waiting adds weight.
Disappointment slows your stride.
Loneliness makes you question if it’s even worth it.
Isolation makes the race feel longer than it actually is.

All of that is real.

But here’s what you have to understand:

Those moments aren’t meant to stop you.
They’re meant to build you.

God uses the very things that try to slow you down to strengthen your endurance, sharpen your character, and deepen your dependence on Him.

But if you allow those moments to make you quit instead of push, that’s when things shift in the wrong direction.

Because when you stop pursuing what God has for you, something else will start pursuing you.

And it won’t be anything good.

That’s why scripture tells us to flee from sin—to run from it.

Not walk. Not casually avoid it.

Run.

Because standing still in your calling makes you an easy target.

But when you stay in pursuit, when you keep moving, even if it’s slow, you create distance between who you are now and who you used to be.

You think differently.
You move differently.
You respond differently.

You get farther and farther away from that old version of you.

And that’s the goal.

Not just reaching a destination but becoming someone new along the way.

Because if you give up long enough, you won’t just visit those dark places again…

You’ll start to live there.

That’s when despair creeps in.
That’s when you start questioning God.
That’s when the enemy gains influence over your thoughts and emotions.

Not because you’re weak but because you stopped moving.

So here’s the reminder:

Keep going.

Even when you’re tired.
Even when you don’t understand.
Even when the pace feels slower than you expected.

God is still ahead of you.

Still guiding you.
Still calling you forward.
Still committed to seeing you finish what He started in you.

Don’t look back.
Don’t slow down just because it’s hard.
Don’t let what’s behind you catch up to what God is doing in front of you.

If God is your coach, then trust His voice.

And run your race all the way through.

For a long time, I didn’t see myself as a “real” woman.

At least not in the way the world defines it.

I thought becoming a “real woman” meant reaching a certain level of independence. Having your own place. Being settled in your career. Having money in your pocket. Moving through life with a sense that you’ve fully arrived.

That’s the version of womanhood culture constantly presents to us.

And for years, I felt like I was behind.

My twenties felt like a long season of stagnation. I stayed in certain environments longer than I expected. Certain living situations felt like they would never change. And because of the deficits I experienced during that time, I believed those things were preventing me from becoming the strong, independent woman everyone talks about.

I assumed that until my external life looked a certain way, I hadn’t truly become a woman yet.

But something shifted recently.

Ever since I turned 34, something inside of me has been changing in ways I didn’t expect.

I started realizing that the external things people use to measure womanhood—apartments, careers, money, independence can make you appear to have it all together. But those things alone don’t make you a woman.

They just make you look like one.

The real transformation happens internally.

It begins when you stop playing with your own growth.

It begins when you stop negotiating your values just to feel wanted or accepted. When you no longer trade dignity for temporary connection. When you stop running toward unhealthy behaviors every time loneliness shows up at your door.

It begins when you stop allowing people to treat you any kind of way.

That’s when the shift starts happening.

Because womanhood isn’t something you arrive at through possessions or accomplishments. It’s something you grow into through maturity, discipline, and self-respect.

Buy me a matcha!

When those internal changes begin to take root, something interesting happens. The external parts of life start falling into place not because you chased them desperately, but because you became the person capable of stewarding them well.

Growth has a way of revealing itself over time.

Especially after you’ve failed enough times to finally understand the lessons those failures were trying to teach you.

There comes a point where repeating the same cycles becomes exhausting. Where the same mistakes don’t feel comfortable anymore. Where you can no longer pretend you don’t know better.

That’s when the real journey of becoming begins.

Your mindset shifts.
Your sense of self-respect deepens.
Your tolerance for dysfunction gets cut short much quicker than before.

Things that once entertained you no longer hold your attention.

Your standards start forming not just for romantic relationships, but for friendships, environments, and opportunities.

You begin to align with who God actually called you to be.

And once that alignment begins, certain things naturally lose their influence over you.

Certain places no longer feel appealing.
Certain conversations feel draining.
Certain men stop looking impressive once you recognize the difference between attention and intention.

When you’re no longer trying to fill internal voids with external experiences, your perspective changes.

You stop chasing things just because they look good on the surface.

You start asking deeper questions.

Does this align with who I’m becoming?
Does this honor the life God is shaping in me?
Is this building the woman I’m meant to be or distracting me from her?

That kind of awareness changes everything.

Because the truth is, nothing external will ever fill the spaces in your heart that only God was meant to occupy.

Not the car you want.
Not the house you dream about.
Not the number in your bank account.

Those things can enhance your life, but they can’t complete you.

Real fulfillment comes when you release every area of your life to God. Your desires, your relationships, your identity, everything!

That surrender creates a pathway.

A pathway toward the woman you’re meant to become.

And once that process begins, the priorities shift.

The goals are still there. The dreams are still alive. But they no longer come before the work God is doing inside of you.

Because eventually you realize something important:

The car can wait.
The house can wait.
The money can wait.

Becoming the woman God called you to be cannot.

And once you focus on becoming her, everything else will meet you there.

Lately, I’ve found myself growing frustrated with people.

Not the mild kind of irritation that passes in a moment, but the kind that lingers. The kind that makes you feel aggravated deep in your spirit. The kind that makes you question why certain behaviors continue to show up in the people around you.

For a while, I couldn’t figure out where the feeling was coming from.

I’ve spent years in isolation—intentionally. Waiting. Preparing. Learning to hear God more clearly. Learning how to carry the work He’s entrusted to me. I believed that when the time came to step into the assignments and relationships He had prepared, the people connected to that calling would be just as serious about their growth as I was.

But lately, I’ve been confronted with something different.

I’ve found myself saying things internally like:

God, you’ve called me to these people, but they’re not upholding your standards.

God, you’ve placed me in these relationships and friendships, but they aren’t living according to what you’ve shown them.

I see people operating in ignorance of God’s word. I see people choosing the world over wisdom. I see what many would call “carnal Christianity,” where people identify with faith but refuse the discipline that comes with it.

And if I’m honest, it frustrates me.

It frustrates me when I don’t see growth.
It frustrates me when people would rather tune into ignorance than receive a message of hope and faith.
It frustrates me when God places me in positions to love, serve, and walk with people who seem resistant to becoming who He called them to be.

For a moment, I thought my frustration was simply about other people.

But then something deeper surfaced.

What if this frustration isn’t just about them?

What if it’s also a reflection of how God feels toward us?

That thought immediately took my mind to the stories in scripture where Jesus became frustrated with His disciples.

The disciples had a front-row seat to everything.

They walked with Jesus daily.
They heard Him teach.
They saw Him pray.
They watched miracles happen with their own eyes.

Yet even with all of that access, they still struggled to grasp what was happening.

They still doubted.
They still misunderstood.
They still resisted the transformation that their preparation season was meant to produce.

In many ways, they treated their preparation like a casual experience when it was actually training for a global ministry.

And Jesus knew it.

There are moments throughout scripture where His frustration shows. Moments where He asks questions like, “How long must I be with you?” or “Do you still not understand?”

Yet even in His frustration, He didn’t abandon them.

He corrected them.
He taught them again.
He extended grace while still holding firm to the standard.

Like any teacher, He understood that growth takes time even when the student should already know the lesson.

When I thought about it that way, something shifted in me.

As someone who teaches, coaches, and serves people, I can admit that I feel frustrated when others don’t grasp what seems obvious. When they repeat the same patterns. When they delay their own growth.

But then I had to confront another truth.

There are areas in my own life where I’ve done the exact same thing with God.

There have been moments where I didn’t obey quickly.
Moments where I repeated lessons I should have already learned.
Moments where I relied on my own understanding instead of seeking Him first.

And I’ve been walking with God for years.

If I’m honest, there are times where God could justifiably be frustrated with me too.

Buy me a matcha!

When we don’t pray the way we should.
When we move ahead of Him without asking for guidance.
When we give in to our flesh even though we know better.

When we look at it from that perspective, the frustration starts to look different.

It becomes a mirror.

The same frustration we feel toward others is often the same frustration God feels toward us when we resist the work He’s doing in our lives.

But that realization also reveals something important.

God doesn’t stop working with us just because we frustrate Him.

He doesn’t abandon us when we repeat lessons.
He doesn’t withdraw His calling when we’re slow to change.

Instead, He continues the work.

Patiently.
Faithfully.
Consistently.

And if we are called to represent Him in the lives of others, then we must learn to carry that same posture.

Yes, you may feel frustrated.

But the work still has to be done.

Yes, people may move slower than you’d like.

But they are still on the road to becoming.

And just like God extends grace toward us in our process, we must learn to extend grace toward others in theirs.

That doesn’t mean lowering standards.

It means recognizing that transformation rarely happens overnight.

It also means acknowledging that God may be raising the bar for many of us in this season.

What used to be optional is becoming necessary.
What used to be flexible is becoming non-negotiable.

The standards are becoming more and more convicting.

And the more we resist surrendering to them, the more frustration we’ll experience. Both in ourselves and in our relationship with God.

So instead of simply sitting in frustration, there’s a better question we can ask:

Is this an area where God might also be frustrated with me?

Have I created unrealistic expectations for others?
Have I allowed frustration to replace compassion?
Have I stopped loving people well because they haven’t grown as quickly as I hoped?

These are uncomfortable questions, but they’re necessary ones.

Because frustration by itself doesn’t produce growth.

Reflection does.

If you find yourself in a season where people around you seem difficult, slow to change, or resistant to the message you carry, don’t immediately jump to human solutions.

Don’t just distance yourself emotionally.
Don’t harden your heart.
Don’t allow irritation to replace your assignment.

Instead, take the frustration back to God.

Ask Him what He’s trying to show you through it.

Because sometimes what feels like irritation is actually an invitation to grow in patience, humility, and grace.

And that kind of work can’t be solved through strategy or human reasoning.

It’s spiritual work.

SHIFT.

The definition of the word shift is this.
To move or cause to move from one place to another.

NEW.

The definition of the word new is not existing before; made, introduced, or discovered recently or now for the first time.

These two words have been lingering in my spirit lately, and I want to share what these words mean to me as an Entrepreneur called by God to operate in the marketplace.

A few weeks ago, I wrote an article called “Why Your Success May Be Offline.” At the time, I was trying to process what felt like a strange season. My online business—something I had relied on for years suddenly stopped performing the way it used to.

Less engagement. Less views. Less income from services.

At first, it felt confusing. I knew God was doing something, but I couldn’t quite see what it was yet.

Now I do.

Everything God has been breathing on in this season has been in person.

A new client I met in person. A networking event I hosted in person.
Conversations and opportunities that only happened because I showed up physically in the room.

Meanwhile, every time I tried to push something online—a workshop, content, or offer, it barely moved.

But something interesting happened recently. A video I posted on my new Instagram page started getting traction… in my city, not across the entire internet. I encouraged a popular entrepreneur here in Baton Rouge for making his vision come to life. What started as a hot meal after the club turned into a chain of restaurants. I recorded myself eating at one of them and decided to post a clip on my page. He shared it on his stories, and that video now has over 2000+ views.

And that’s when it clicked.

God isn’t just building an online brand for me.
He’s building local influence.

Community. Connection. Real-life impact.

For some businesses, the internet is where they will thrive, and that’s amazing. But for me, God is proving something different right now.

In-person community building is at the top of His priority list for my assignment.

The word I’ve been carrying for the entire month of March is NEW. Every month, I write down my goals and project milestones, but I choose one word to convey what I’m sensing or believing for in that month, and this is the word that came to me.

Every circumstance I’ve encountered lately has required me to do something new.

New approaches. New systems. New opportunities that require a new level of skill.

Even the version of me required for this next season is different.

A version that doesn’t take “no” personally. A version that follows up on opportunities without hesitation or allowing pride to get in the way. A version that doesn’t get discouraged when someone doesn’t respond to an inquiry immediately.

My attitude is shifting because the assignment is shifting.

This shift has caused me to ask myself this question:

Why is it so easy to rely on our own understanding when what used to work… doesn’t work anymore?

Why is it so tempting to go back to the familiar when God is clearly asking us to surrender to something new?

We constantly go in circles, wrestling with our ideas over God’s instruction, causing us to go in the opposite direction of his leadership. What is that? Pride? Ignorance, or simple blindness to what God is actually doing. Do we trust in our own plans over His? We must be stopped! If we haven’t noticed by now, God doesn’t reveal ALL of his plans at one time, so it’s best to go off the knowledge and information HE gives us. Not our own in times of confusion and doubt.

We won’t always understand God’s methods. But eventually, we’ll stop trying to figure them all out once we open our eyes to the NEW.

Simply, all I know is this:

There is a shift happening.

Buy me a matcha!

Your business model may have to shift. Your sales strategy may have to shift. Your networking circles may have to shift. God may be giving you an opportunity to pursue what He called you to do—but His way.

There’s a scripture that says:

“There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to destruction.” (Proverbs 14:12)

So the real question becomes:

Which way will you choose in this season?

Your way…
or God’s way?

Because there will be a difference.

When we do things God’s way, the right opportunities show up. The doors open. The provision comes. And sometimes, we realize we didn’t have to work nearly as hard as we thought we did. Or as hard as everyone else does.

Maybe God is even pulling some of you away from social media for a season—not to punish you, but to separate you from the competition.

The shift is here.

The only question left is:

Which direction will you move in when God tells you to move?

This event was originally scheduled for February 1st, but the winter storm forced me to postpone. At first, I saw it as an inconvenience, but in reality, it was alignment. It gave me space to refine the vision and confront something deeper: my perfectionism. It was also God’s way of weeding out the people who didn’t need to be there.

I’m a planner by nature. Certified. Structured. Strategic.
But if I’m not careful, planning can quietly turn into procrastination.

As the new date approached, the questions started rolling in:
Should I run ads?
Send more emails?
Attend more events to promote it?
Add more food? Do more?

And to my surprise, I didn’t have time to do any of it.

That was the signal.

The day before, I took my son to the mall to grab something to wear. It was outside of my budget, and I hesitated. But my 9-year-old looked at me and said, “Trust, Mom. Get it. You’ll be fine.”

That moment stayed with me. It wasn’t just about the shirt. It was a deeper confirmation. That moment reminded me of my current flow state with God. To flow with Him, not asking too many questions. Just going with His flow and being obedient to it. This was a reminder to stop trying to control the outcome.

The moment I did that… everything shifted.

Buy me a matcha!

15+ people showed up.
Many of them, I had never met before. They didn’t come because of a perfectly executed marketing plan. They came because they felt something. I have 38 followers on Instagram….three of them showed up after seeing one of my posts. Some saw my event on Eventbrite, while others came by word of mouth.

They didn’t know me personally. They just had a curiosity and interest. We talked about our journeys of entrepreneurship, creativity, and the real reason many haven’t started showing up online.

The answers were consistent:
Fear.
Doubt.
Procrastination.
Worry about what people think.

This moment confirmed everything I’ve been sensing.

This wasn’t just an event. It was insight, direction, and the start of my new assignment.

I walked away realizing this is bigger than networking. It’s an opportunity to equip and deploy creatives and entrepreneurs into their purpose. God is positioning me to help creatives and entrepreneurs move past fear and step into visibility, structure, and growth. And in this season, perfection is not the requirement. Obedience is.

Overthinking is not required.
Over-preparing is not required.
Control is not required.

Trust is.

God had already gone before me. My role was to show up.

So here’s what I’m carrying into this season:

Fear is the real enemy.

Not lack of resources, strategy, or support. Because God will provide every single thing you think you need. I wrote in a previous post that everything I needed for this event was already available to me. The microphone was provided by my brother, who is a professional DJ and Entrepreneur. The easel was tucked away in my garage, along with the serving utensils, plates, cups, and napkins. All I had to do was set out and do what God placed in my heart. Everything else was provided to me. Even the finances to pay for the food and supplies came through a newly secured client.

God will light the path he’s set before you. All you have to do is trust. Anxiety and fear won’t have a place to dwell when you trust God in the process.

The real testimony is that I refuse to let fear hold me back any longer. This event marked the emergence of a new level of boldness within me—one I can’t ignore and won’t shrink back from.

If you’re building something right now, take this as your confirmation:
You don’t need everything figured out.

You need to move.

Trust God. Show up. And let Him handle the rest.

Two years ago, I made the decision to quit my job and pursue entrepreneurship. Whether it was faith or obedience or a mix of both, that move shook me in ways I didn’t anticipate. I started questioning everything. Not just the path I was on, but myself. I stopped trusting my decisions, my gift, and, at times, even God.

In that same season, though, I evolved. I learned. I experienced things I never imagined, and I gained a new perspective. I grew, I overcame, I persisted. But trust? That was fractured. When it came to major life decisions, I convinced myself I couldn’t discern God properly, so I stopped caring where I ended up.

What’s crazy though is that even when I wasn’t fully tuned in, His hand never stopped guiding me. The choices I made, even the ones I second-guessed, were still aligned with His purposes. The wisdom and experience I gained became my anchor. I started operating strategically, instead of impulsively.

Today, I was about to post on LinkedIn about my business which reflects my thought leadership and authority but I hesitated. I questioned the wording. Did it sound right? Should I ask for validation? I even ran it through ChatGPT. And yet, the hesitation lingered.

It hit me in that moment: the doubt I carry isn’t about the post. It’s a shadow from the decisions I made two years ago that didn’t turn out as planned. Those moments caused me to step back from the prophetic, to “take a break,” to play it safe and I don’t believe that was God’s intention.

Whether the past decisions were right or wrong, I’ve realized in this season that everything works out one way or another. That revelation is carrying me now. It’s allowing me to flow more, to release the need to know everything, to stop squeezing God for constant confirmation. It’s letting me build trust with the new version of myself who is someone wiser, more measured, and more aligned.

I’m learning to take one step at a time. To plan before I leap. To sit with decisions long enough to understand the outcome, instead of reacting impulsively. The blessing isn’t always in the sudden, dramatic “moves.” The blessing is in the process.

Faith and wisdom go hand in hand. I can’t lean on faith alone without giving God space to move or time to guide me. And I can’t rely on impulsive decisions without giving myself the chance to think, process, and align with His timing.

Trust isn’t rebuilt overnight. It’s nurtured. Steadily. Intentionally. In His timing.

So i’m learning to trust that the previous season gave me the wisdom I needed to carry in this one. I’m trusting that what God placed inside of me is still there and I don’t need constant reassuring or validation. I can trust that the previous season made me in to the version of myself I am today and that’s worth exploring…without hesitation or fear.

I’m choosing to trust myself again….whether I can predict the outcome or not. Because ultimately everything is in God’s hands anyway and that’s a fact worth remembering when it comes to future decisions.

Lately, I’ve been realizing that the help I prayed for didn’t look the way I expected.

Months ago, I thought “help” meant hiring support to execute tasks, which include filming, posting, scheduling, client outreach, grant applications, and all the operational pieces. I even sat down and mapped out roles and job descriptions, preparing my company for future hires. That was necessary. But it was only half of the answer.

What I didn’t recognize at the time was the weight of isolation. I wasn’t just overwhelmed. I was disconnected. What I truly needed was community. Not surface-level networking, but real alignment. People who challenge my thinking, hold me accountable, and stretch me into the version of myself I’m becoming.

As a coach, it’s humbling to admit this: I’ve reached a point where I need a coach too.

My work is evolving. I’m no longer only helping people find clarity. I’m helping them build structure, systems, and sustainable foundations. That shift has required a different level of discipline, focus, and intentionality from me as well. My newest clients, my assignments, and even my internal convictions are all pointing toward a higher standard of execution.

And with growth comes unfamiliar territory.

There are seasons where self-sufficiency works, and there are seasons where accountability becomes essential. I’m learning that elevation often requires proximity and getting around people who already embody the discipline, focus, and spiritual grounding you’re striving toward. A higher level demands greater intentionality about whose voices you allow to influence you.

For a long time, I equated independence with strength.

Now I’m learning that receiving support is its own form of strength. Letting go of control and embracing guidance has been more relieving than restricting.

If you’ve been feeling “off,” unfocused, or like your usual strategies aren’t enough anymore, it might not be burnout. It might be transition. Sometimes the next level isn’t about doing more alone. It’s about allowing yourself to be supported in ways you once thought you didn’t need.
