Shedding the old parts of you can feel strange—like saying goodbye to an old friend you’ve outgrown.

But this time, it’s different.

I’m not spiraling. I’m not chasing chaos. I’m finding real peace.

The girl who needed heartbreak to feel alive? I love her. I honor her. But I don’t need her anymore.

This season is about singlehood, softness, and sacred self-love. About choosing God’s guidance over old patterns. About becoming the woman I used to protect myself from ever being—whole, free, and unafraid.

I’ll still check in with the old me sometimes. But I’m not staying there.

We’re good now, Pooh. Really good. 💕

✨ If you’re ready to shed old stories and heal in community, come join us.

The Mommy Movement is open—let’s walk this sacred journey together.

I used to think fasting was just about food.

But this time, it’s been about faith. About presence. About giving myself grace instead of grinding for perfection.

I wasn’t prepared for the silence to feel so heavy—or for people to misunderstand my boundaries and my process. But sacred work isn’t always understood.

It’s not about performing healing perfectly. It’s about noticing when you slip, loving yourself anyway, and returning to alignment.

Some days, the food wasn’t perfect. The music didn’t match my intentions. The scrolling replaced the stillness. But I kept coming back.

That’s grace over grind.

If you’re in a season where the growth feels lonely and your peace is misunderstood, hear this:

You are not behind.

You are not alone.

You are not crazy for choosing yourself.

I thought giving up certain foods would be the hardest part of my fast.

But I was wrong.

When the music stopped—when I turned off the playlists I’d used to fill every quiet moment—I finally had to face the silence I’d been avoiding. And in that silence, the truth got louder.

Old songs started to feel like old habits. And the quiet? It became a mirror.

So I started journaling the thoughts I used to drown out. I handed them over to God instead of letting them take root.

I’m not perfect. But I’m here. I’m listening. I’m present.

And right now, that’s more than enough.

✨ If you’re ready to quiet the noise and tend to your soul, come sit with us inside The Mommy Movement.

Six sacred seats are open—because healing is sacred when it’s shared.

I thought I knew exactly how this fast would go—clean meals, steady prayers, no slip-ups. But by the second day, I realized this wasn’t about discipline as much as it was about surrender. The hardest part wasn’t the food—it was the quiet. The way silence pressed on every place I still needed healing. The moments I craved control more than clarity.

But even when I slipped, I chose to keep showing up. And in that choice, grace met me over and over again.

This wasn’t the fast I planned.

It was the fast I needed.

Because your healing doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful.

In February, my hair started falling out—and by Day 4, it was turning gray. What followed wasn’t just a health scare, it was a wake-up call from God. I had to choose: fear or faith. In this post, I share the raw truth about that moment, the healing I leaned into, and why not all fasts—and not all healing—look the same. Plus, The Mommy Movement is open for 6 mothers ready to heal in community.

This post is a testimony.

In just one month, Rissa experienced divine alignment: two contracts, an adjunct role, and a deeper walk with God—all while practicing faith over fear. But the month wasn’t without challenges. This honest reflection reveals how surrender, prayer, and spiritual discipline created space for clarity, provision, and peace.

This wasn’t just about earning a title—it was about becoming whole.

When your body speaks, listen.

If God has been nudging you to act, to heal, or to change something… this is your confirmation.

What happens when you stop justifying your delay and finally surrender? God moves—fast.

Rissa shares her raw truth about leaving a job that no longer served her soul, writing her resignation with trembling hands, and choosing to move scared. Because faith isn’t the absence of fear—it’s the courage to jump anyway.

After years of shrinking herself to fit in, Rissa finally embraced her voice, her wisdom, and her purpose. This powerful testimony shares how she stopped dimming her light, found healing through mentorship, and boldly stepped into her calling.

💗 For every woman who’s ever been told she’s “too much”—this is your reminder that you’re exactly enough.

For a long time, I was afraid to talk about God—especially while navigating this healing journey. Like many of us, I grew up with a version of faith that felt more like fear than relationship. But something shifted. As I began exploring the Word for myself, creating a routine that anchored me in God’s presence, and letting go of the pressure to be “perfectly spiritual,” I started to experience true connection. This blog invites you into that journey—from quiet hesitation to bold belief. If you’ve ever felt torn between what you believe and how you live it out, this one’s for you.
