When we experience loss — whether through death, divorce, life transitions, or dreams unfulfilled — it often affects more than we realize.

It can silence our voice.

It can shake our identity.

It can create distance between us and the God we once spoke so freely with.

In today’s episode, I’m opening a tender conversation about how loss can silence us — and how God lovingly invites us to begin reclaiming our voice and identity.

You’ll hear:

✨ How loss impacts our voice and confidence

✨ Why many women stay stuck in “silent grief”

✨ God’s heart for you in this healing process

✨ Encouragement to begin taking small, grace-filled steps forward

If today’s message speaks to your heart, I invite you to take my free quiz:

Friend — your voice still matters. Your story is not over.

Let’s walk this healing journey together.

“Your voice is not lost forever. It may be tender, it may tremble — but it still carries the sound of your story, the echo of God’s goodness, and the power to speak life once again.”

What a great conversation with Monica! She is resilient from what she has went through to get to where she is today. She knew in the midst of all the giving to others she had to stop and take care of her self. And now she can guide other women through it!

Heal What’s Hidden to Become the Woman God Designed You to Be.....

Real confidence comes through healing, not hiding your wounds or just dealing with it.

Confidence Isn’t Something You Perform

Psalm 147:3 reminds us, ‘He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. God isn’t asking you to cover your wounds—He’s inviting you to heal them.

• What unhealed experiences are still whispering lies about who you are?

Do you find yourself constantly saying “yes” just to avoid conflict or disappointing others? In this episode, we’re diving into the power of NO—how setting healthy boundaries isn’t selfish, it’s necessary for living the life God has called you to.

You’ll learn:

• Why saying no is actually an act of obedience and self-respect.

• How to overcome the guilt that often follows when you set boundaries.

• Practical steps to start honoring your time, energy, and emotional well-being.

Remember, you are not called to carry everything. Saying no creates space for God’s best yes in your life!

Grief and pain are not the same thing though they often show up hand-in-hand. Grief natural, Gpd -given process It's a response to loss, the loss of a loved one, a dream, a realtionshiop, a season of life. Pain on the other hand, is often the residue, the lasting torment, the echo of brokenness that tries to linger and become our identity.

Letting go of pain doesn't mean forgetting. It means choosing not to relive the wound every day. It means honoring what was lost, but allowing God to redeem what's ahead.

Some nights I walk the floors of my home praying, begging God to reverse what’s happened…

To bring him back.

To wake me from this life I never asked for.

Grief is loud.

It echoes in the quiet places.

But even here, God is near.

In this episode, I’m sharing from the deepest place of my heart—what it feels like to pray prayers that don’t get answered the way we hope, and how even in the ache, God’s presence is still holding me.

To anyone walking this road of loss… you’re not alone.

Join me for a conversation filled with raw honesty, tender faith, and the hope of healing.
