... for someone, and it always will. But it might be perfect to someone else. That's the thing about marketing, you will never have a perfect message to everyone, so you will always need to target. Are you paying auditors and marketing experts to help you improve your brand? That's good, but do they get what you're doing, do they get what your client wants? Or are they just trying to fit you in a box that will make you look like everyone else that worked with them? On Roast & Promote you can submit your website, about page, ads and content to be roasted by a variety of people. I'll tag members that are relevant to what you do. So you get roasted by people who are walking the same path you are. And it's free! Why Roasts? Why not audits? Because I'm having fun with my brand, I'm targeting Skoolers who are building their businesses the same way that I'm building mine, without the fear of experimenting things out and having fun. People who know that community is about building relationships and learning with interaction. If you're bothered by the sillines of my BBQ posts and dragon lore, this is not for you. And that's perfectly fine. What about you? Who are you trying to target with your message? Are you willing to get roasted to find out if the copy is landing for the right people?

Because the truth is… There are women building businesses from burnout. Women serving in ministry while battling silent insecurity. Women posting “I’m okay” online while feeling completely disconnected from who God created them to be. And eventually… You get tired. Tired of second-guessing yourself. Tired of shrinking. Tired of watching everyone else move forward while you stay stuck between fear and obedience. I know that feeling personally. There was a season where I had the vision from God… But no structure. No confidence. No clarity. No community that truly understood the weight of being called. I loved Jesus. I prayed. I fasted. But internally, I was still fighting confusion, survival mode, emotional exhaustion, and fear of failure. And one thing God showed me changed everything: A woman cannot fully build what Heaven showed her while her identity is still broken. That is why I created ✨Glory Nation Academy✨ Not another fake “girl boss” group. Not another empty motivational community. Not another place where women compete, pretend, and perform. This is a Kingdom-centered sisterhood for women who are ready to HEAL, BUILD, and WALK IN PURPOSE with boldness through Jesus Christ. ✝️ Inside Glory Nation Academy, you’ll receive: 🔥 Identity healing & breakthrough 💡 Kingdom business & content strategy 👑 Purpose activation & clarity ⚡ AI tools & resources 🤍 Faith-based mentorship & support 🚀 A community of women growing together instead of competing This is for the woman who KNOWS she’s called… But feels stuck mentally, emotionally, spiritually, or financially. The woman who’s tired of surviving. The woman who’s ready to finally become the version of herself God showed her in prayer. Sis… your life was never supposed to stay in survival mode. God did not give you vision just to watch you die carrying it.

Have you ever had a family member, friend, or coworker make a request you couldn't afford? You know the moment - a family members asks you for a loan, a friend invites you out to dinner at a really expensive restaurant, or the birthday collection envelope comes around at work for the third time this month. It's hard to say "no," but saying "yes" may put a dent in your budget that's hard to recover from.

You'll walk away with 10 ways to politely say "no" or to give what you can even if it doesn't meet the ask. Money decisions are easier when you have the words ready. When was the last time you had to respond to an awkward ask?
