Well, this podcast has a lot more pieces than I could have ever imagined. Right now. I am having a professional picture done next week. Once that is done a young lady from my church (only God) started a social media agency and is a graphic designer she will take My photo and create the cover art. Fb community art. And so on. I am working on a launch plan and looking for 5-10 women who would like to be a part. There will be a drawing - all you do is share and promote my podcast 3 different times on social media and leave a review. The reviews really help push out the show and get it ranked. If any of you would like to be a part just let me know. Not sure what my gift will be maybe a chance to win a $100 Amazon card or something to make it worth you time ! I have prayed every step and God is putting this all together. What he has taught me? Patience. I could rush it but I would miss all his work. Please Continue to pray for this new chapter new business! I have never felt So fufilled. God will do it if we will slow down and listen!

Yall this week has hit me HARD 😔 Thank you for your patience as I know I’ve been a little MIA. Mom came home from the hospital but is still having intermittent issues. Baby boy is definitely teething again. And now, I’m having severe abdominal pain that’s lasted the last 4-5 days… I’ve tried to shake it off, but today it’s debilitating. So now I’m on my way in to get checked out 😬 I appreciate you all thinking of us and praying for us 💖 Will update soon!!

Here’s how I knew I was walking in alignment… When you pray for direction, the next step is to TAKE ACTION (even IF you are waiting on confirmation). “Faith without works is dead” - James 2:26 No… I’m not saying be reckless with your action because you doubt His provision (like Sarah). I’m saying MOVE as if you are a Daughter of the King (you are) and your Father has it all figured out (He does). I prayed for re-alignment and here’s what happened this past week: 1) I flew with a girl who has over 200k social media followers. Confident. Brave. She had built a personal brand and was monetizing from platform payouts, but had no idea how to leverage her social media following for income. We strategized. She was amazed. Talking to her made me realize, “SHE GETS IT.” She’s not the beginner, she’s the MOVER. Our conversation refreshed my soul because she met me at my level - she confirmed my new Identity. But then she asked…. “What’s the biggest problem you have with your audience?” And it hit me like a ton of bricks. Because I already knew. Confirmation. 2) My coach called me on the carpet. “Girl you’ve not the struggling mom anymore. And even then, have you forgotten what all you’ve accomplished? That’s why this bothers you so much. Those who are in it can’t see it’s unethical. Stop trying to prove your worth to people who don’t get it and start speaking to the woman you were 6 months ago, not a year ago.” Oh my. Me: “But I feel responsible for helping these people who are stuck inside this hamster wheel…” “They WANT to be on the hamster wheel. Until they WANT something different, you’re putting yourself on the wheel with them. Your loyalty is exhausting you because you’re running faster than they are. You’re investing more than they are. You’re becoming more than they are.” Wow. My loyalty was to an audience that wasn’t even running the race set before them… ...not the audience who needed me to show up with conviction when that's what I preach.

Today, I was praying for this community, for your businesses, for clarity on Phase Two, for direction of how to grow/scale, for all of these ideas inside of my head to be categorized with His peace, not clustered in hurried excitement 😂 And then I heard His voice, "You're playing too small." Wait.... what? 😬 "You just wrote in the community about how I knew you before I formed you, which is true. And I AM the God who breathed ALL life into existence: the animals, the trees, the flowers, the mountains, the oceans, the moon, the stars, the laws of nature, and the laws that govern you. You are not of this world, so stop acting like it and playing small when you serve ME who can do abundantly more." WHAT 😅 Just called me out, straight like that!! Unironically, my dad came over today and started talking about a business idea that's been on his mind for a really long time, unbeknownst to me. He was asking for my help with branding, marketing, positioning his offers, etc. and my heart started buzzing. THIS IS WHAT LIGHTS MY SOUL ON FIRE 🔥 Seeing aspiring business owners GET EXCITED about the possibility and potential. The more I came up with for his business, the more his eyes lit up!!! And THIS is what I started down the "digital marketing" rabbit hole for... to be positioned for conversations like THIS. I love helping you all discover what His will is for your life and business, but to think I have it all figured out is FOOLISH. I have SO much to learn and He's writing a new chapter for my business. We may be on different chapters, but this is why it's WISE to surround yourself with like-minded community so you can foster and grow together 💖 So can I tell you the REALLY crazy thing He told me today? 😆 I was crunching some numbers and started accounting for a 10% tithe and he told me, "higher." Me: ".... 20%?" Him: "..... HIGHER." Me: "....50%?" Him: "We are partners in this, are we not?" 😳 And then I started thinking... "what business donates 50% of their profit each year?!"
