When I found myself discarded and left to fend for myself while the narcissist began a new life with a new wife, I was stuck in a deep fog about how, why, and what I did to deserve this. I later learned this hard truth: that is just what they do. They extract their supply, and when they feel you are no longer needed, they simply find someone else to provide it. During that time, I sought help from the Bible and found so many verses that have kept me anchored in the Word ever since. But one in particular stands out today. If you are just now finding yourself in that heavy situation, remember that Jesus invites you to come to Him. If you are heavily burdened with all the swirling emotions of this troublesome situation: give them to Him. In return, He will give you rest. It is His rest and a peace that compares to nothing you can experience on earth. His peace and His love will get you through. "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." — Matthew 11:28

"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." — Psalm 46:1 Some weeks it feels like everything's coming at you at once — the bills, the kids, the silence where support used to be. Chutzpah only gets you so far when you're running on empty, ya'll. But here's the truth for today: you don't have to hold it all up by yourself. He already promised to be your refuge — not eventually, not once you've got it together, but right now, in the middle of the mess. So take a breath. Be still for one minute today (verse 10 says so — "Be still, and know that I am God"). You are not alone in this. Drop a comment below if you needed this today.

I've spent a lot of years behind a steering wheel. Twenty of them, actually — hauling dry goods and groceries across this country in a semi-truck, watching the sun come up over places most folks only see from an airplane window. Before that, thirty-five years managing retail stores, keeping things running, keeping people steady. I tell you that because I didn't build Unshakeable Women Leaders from some office with a view. I built it from my kitchen table — the same kind of table where a lot of you have sat at 2 a.m., wondering how you're going to hold it all together one more day. Here's what I know, deep in my bones: some of you have been told things about yourselves that were never true. That you're not enough. That you deserve what happened to you. That you're alone in this. I have compassion for that journey, because I've walked stretches of it myself — and I know what it costs to keep believing a lie just because it's the only thing you've been told. So this isn't a program built on theory. It's built on the belief that your self-worth was never up for negotiation — it was just waiting for someone to hand you the truth instead of the lie. That's the whole heart of Unshakeable Women Leaders and the online courses, Worth the Truth. We don't rush past the pain to get to the "positive thinking" part. We name it. We look at where the lie came from. And then, one honest step at a time, we let the truth do what it's always been able to do — restore what was taken, and hand it back to you. Because here's the thing about a woman who finally believes she's worth the truth: she doesn't just recover from what happened to her. She rises out of it. And when she does, she's not just leading herself anymore — she's leading her children out of a pattern that stops with her, for generations to come. Recover. Rise. Lead.
