After 8 months… I GOT MY INSTAGRAM BACK. 😭🥹

If you’ve been following this journey, you know how much happened behind the scenes after losing my Instagram account.

There were months with no movement, multiple attempts to recover it, a LOT of uncertainty, and honestly… a lot of prayers.

In this video, I’m finally sharing the full story.

I’m talking about what happened, what I tried, how I eventually got the account recovered, what God taught me during those 8 months, and where I’m at now that I actually have it back.

And as excited and grateful as I am, I also want to be honest about the other side of it.

I still feel anxiety every time I open the app. I’m still working through the fear of losing it again. And I’m still learning how to build a business without letting a social media account hold so much power over me.

Looking back, I can see God’s hand all over this season. There were so many prayers answered—some in the way I hoped they would be and others in ways I never expected.

Still in the game by the grace of God. 🩵

Thank you to everyone who prayed for me, checked on me, encouraged me, and followed along through this entire crazy journey. It means more than you know.

My business brought in $134,291.75 in August... but how much did I actually keep? 👀

In today’s monthly income report, I’m breaking down the FULL numbers: every revenue stream, where more than $100,000 in expenses went 😳, and what was actually left as profit.

If you watched last month’s report, you know one of my biggest goals was getting expenses DOWN. Well... somehow they were even higher this month. 😂 Thankfully, revenue was higher too.

I’m taking you behind the scenes of a real online creator business, including revenue from digital products and courses, Amazon Influencer onsite reviews, affiliate commissions, brand partnerships, Walmart, LTK, Facebook Marketplace, reselling + more.

We’re also breaking down my biggest expenses—including $80K+ in Meta ads—and what I’m learning about profitability, scaling, outsourcing, stewardship, and building a business that supports the life I want to live.

I share these numbers because there’s so much more behind a business than the big revenue number. There are years of work, investments, mistakes, pivots, and small beginnings behind what you see today.

Whether you're working toward your first $100, $1,000, $10,000 or beyond: learn your numbers, steward what you have, keep showing up, and let the small things compound.

In this episode, I’m giving you a completely transparent look at my July business income and expenses, including where the money came from, where it went, what I actually kept, and what these numbers taught me about revenue vs. profit.

There’s also a much bigger story behind these numbers. Earlier this year, I lost the business Instagram account I had built to over 100,000 followers while I was on track for my first six-figure cash month. Since then, I’ve completely changed how I drive traffic to my businesses, including spending more than $44,000 on Meta ads in July.

My profit margin may be tighter right now, but something else has grown:

My life margin.🤎

I’m working significantly less, spending more time with my family, and learning that becoming a better steward isn't just about making more money. It's about what I keep, how I use it, and what that money allows me to prioritize.

What a month. 🤍

In this podcast, I'm taking you behind the scenes of everything that happened in June.

I'm sharing my full June income recap, where my business revenue came from, what's been working, and how I was able to keep my business moving forward despite working less than usual.

I'm also opening up about losing my Instagram account... again. I'll share what happened, how I've been navigating the setback, and my plan for rebuilding from the ground up.

Most importantly, I'm talking about the lessons the Lord has been teaching me through this season. This year has been a constant reminder that our hope can't be found in followers, platforms, or business success. It has to be rooted in Him.

✨ In this video:

• My complete June income recap

• Breaking down my business revenue

• Losing my Instagram account... again

• My rebuilding strategy

In this episode, I’m sharing what’s really happened since losing my Instagram account with over 100,000 followers… and what rebuilding has actually looked like behind the scenes.

From not being able to even create a new account, to sitting in a 7-week waiting season with zero control, to slowly starting over from scratch — this has been one of the hardest and most stretching seasons in my business.

But it’s also been one of the most eye-opening.

I’m sharing:

-What those 7 weeks actually looked like

-How I navigated losing my main income source

-The unexpected lessons I learned in the waiting

-What I’m doing differently as I rebuild

-And how this season completely shifted how I view my business

This isn’t a “perfect comeback” story.

I’m still in it.

But if you’re in a season where things feel slow, uncertain, or like nothing is working the way it used to… I think this will really resonate with you.

Last week, I lost my Instagram account of over 100,000 followers- without warning or explanation.

That account drove the majority of my business and losing it forced me to confront some hard truths about faith, control identity, and what it really means to build something sustainable.

In this podcast, I talk honestly about:

• Losing my biggest business asset overnight
• Wrestling with faith while reading the book of Job
• The difference between diversification and true protection
• Letting go of outcomes and learning to wait on God
• The unexpected gift of time and clarity after the loss
• What surrender actually looked like in real life
• Why I know I will be able to rebuild- no matter what happens next.

This isn't a how-to or a highlight reel.

It is a real-time conversation about loss, trust, and rebuilding when things don't go according to plan.

If you are a business owner, creator, or anyone walking through uncertainty, I hope this reminds you that you are not alone and that waiting doesn't mean nothing is happening.
