I am passionate about encouraging women to speak out. Speak out your pain so you can speak your transformation. Share what you have gained from your life experiences. There are many ways to express this: writing, speaking, teaching, and more. I am grateful that one of the ways God has given me to speak out is through writing. It has been a tool for my healing and my voice and has helped other women find their own voices, too.

My journey to prioritizing self-care in mental health didn’t come instantly or with age—it unfolded slowly, like peeling back layers of expectations I had placed on myself. Sound familiar?  You wake up tired and get through the day with a cup of coffee, but somehow your mind still races when you finally lie down at night. It wasn’t until I hit my emotional wall that I realized self-care wasn’t selfish; it was survival. Over time, I wanted to get out of survival mode because this wasn’t healthy either. It’s funny ...

Have you ever observed how the things we give attention to appear to expand in our lives? It's not just a random occurrence. What we choose to focus on—whether it's our insecurities, strengths, resilience, and mental fortitude—tends to flourish. This is why being deliberate about our focus is crucial.
