For years in my early adulthood, I believed the “not enough” narrative. I felt “not enough” as a single person, as a professional, as a daughter, as a sister, and as a friend. On top of all of that, I felt ashamed of how my troubled skin and body looked as I frantically used various celebrity-endorsed products and went to numerous dermatologist appointments.
However, in 2015 things started to change. I started a fast which taught me first how to pray, but also awakened me to nourish my body with whole foods without preservatives. I treated my body with value by making sure the ingredients in the personal products I used were clean and healthy. Do you know what? My skin started to show a significant turn for the best.
That was the first step that gave me more bravery. Finally, I voiced the pain I felt at my toxic workplace, and discovered that abuse wasn’t normal. In fact, I could choose the life I wanted instead of always living by the “not enough” default.
So, in 2018, I chose freedom. I left my job. I freelanced and worked from home by sharing the toxin-free lifestyle that has equipped me with better focus, hormonal, skin, and general health for the long-term journey God has me on. On top of that, I broke loose from my poverty expectations, and jumped on a plane to my favorite country of all time (and my birthplace!), New Zealand. (While I was there, God showed how just abundant He truly is… but that is another story for another time…)
Today, I help others with my daily beauty-filled wellness tips and recipes that will help sustain their lifelong journey. I see a community that encourages women to embrace the divine timing of their lives, single or married. I see purposeful women who give to others, empowered in the truth that they are fully equipped and enough to impact their world right now.
You are worthy to step into all God has for you in the present.
Ready? Let’s step into our beauty-filled lives.
