As we step into a new year, many of us are filled with anticipation of new goals, fresh possibilities, and quiet hopes for what is ahead. But alongside that hope often comes something less visible, something we do not always talk about. A lingering fear. A hidden doubt. A shadow. Shadows have a way of following us into new seasons if we do not address them. They hover quietly in the background, shaping our choices, influencing our confidence, and sometimes holding us hostage

A brand-new year is upon us. And with it comes fresh opportunities, new lessons, and sacred invitations to grow into the women we are becoming. As we step into 2026, I want to share a simple yet deeply powerful practice, one that does not overwhelm, rush, or pressure you, but gently guides your steps throughout the year ahead. It is choosing a word for the year. One word. A word that becomes your anchor. Your reminder. Your compass. Your declaration. As you read this, I invit

There are moments in every woman’s life when she stands at an unmistakable crossroad. Sometimes the path ahead is clear and inviting. Other times it is foggy, uncertain, or even frightening. But no matter the season, one truth remains: the decisions we make in these moments can change everything. I often remind the women I serve that life does not happen all at once, it happens one decision at a time. And while we may not control every circumstance, we do  have the power to c

In a world where commitments are easily made and just as easily broken, being a person of your word has become a rare and powerful quality.  Your word is not just what you say, it is who you are. It is your signature in the world. As a graduate of the Protocol School of Washington, I learned that true etiquette and protocol go far beyond which fork to use or how to host a perfect dinner party. They are rooted in respect, reliability, and responsibility. They reflect how you v

The Power of Your Pause: Responding with Confidence Instead of Reacting in Fear Life has a way of placing us at crossroads, moments when what we feel crashes into what we believe. In these moments, we choose whether to react or respond. Although the words are often used interchangeably, they carry profoundly different energy. One is driven by fear, the other by purpose. One is reflexive; the other is intentional. One is rooted in survival, the other in strength. To react is t

There is an old saying that it is not the enemy on the outside that can destroy you, it is the enemy within. Whether in families, workplaces, organizations, or even ministries, nothing will drain momentum or weaken progress faster than hidden opposition inside the camp. When those who should be for you are quietly against you, it becomes hard to rise, build, or win. Enemies in the camp do not always come with a warning label. They may smile in your face, attend your meetings,

Sometimes, the most extraordinary moments of our lives do not arrive with fireworks or fanfare. They unfold quietly in everyday choices, unexpected encounters, or simple acts of obedience. They are moments that seem ordinary in the beginning but later reveal themselves as divine assignments designed to shape not only our destiny, but also the healing of generations. When we are walking through these moments, they rarely feel extraordinary. In fact, they often feel uncomfortab

There are moments in life when everything feels uncertain, when what once felt familiar no longer fits, yet the next chapter has not fully unfolded. These are what I refer to as the transformational transitions , sacred, in-between spaces where change is not just happening around you, but within you. Working with women and coaching them along their journey, I often remind them that transformation is not just about reaching a destination. It is about honoring the process, the
