How do the people around you identify you? Do you portray a watered-down version of yourself or you’ve been able to stay authentic despite the trials and challenges you encounter on a daily basis?

At times, we find ourselves in dark places or situations where we feel like our voice has been completely shut down and we’re struggling to find ourselves.

You are not defined by your past.

Sometimes we experience a massive shift in our relationships or circle of friends. It can be very hurtful, heartbreaking, or confusing because you’re used to what’s familiar. I have learned that some relationships need to end or take a really long break because your next seasons require more than what you think that relationship could be.

In the process of becoming the woman God wants you to be, the woman you envision yourself to be, trials and tribulations will definitely be a part of your growth process. But remember you’re coming out healed, stronger, healthier, happier, filled with purpose and manifesting.
