February

A year ago, my life was on the floor.

Not metaphorically.
Actually.

I was living inside days I didn’t choose.
And also facing the truth of where I stayed too long.
Avoided discomfort.
Learned how to be agreeable when I should have been honest.

Both things existed at once.

Some weight came at me suddenly.
From people.
From circumstances.
From life shifting without permission.

Some of it I carried because I didn’t yet know how to set it down.

Eventually, the structure I was standing on gave way.

There were seasons where God was not fully in the equation.
And life reflected that absence.

Over time, a pattern became impossible to ignore.
When I drifted, life unraveled.
When I returned, doors opened and my path aligned.

This past year was a healing year.
A year of sitting with what was real.
Of allowing endings that didn’t look like blessings at the time.

Every chapter served a purpose.
Even the hard ones.
Especially the hard ones.

My time where I was… it mattered.
It shaped me.
It strengthened me.
And then it released me.

And now, February 1.

I step into a new role as Director of Operations with Team Kelso.

Working alongside my best friend.
Doing work I love.
Building something meaningful.

I get my evenings back.
My weekends back.
My presence back.

I get to be home with my girls.
I get flexibility.
I get space to create.

I get to build Radiant Resilience alongside powerful women who see me and sharpen me.
Marki.
Justine.
Community.

Starting now, I am surrounded by women who are healing, building, and leading.
And I am one of them.

This is the part of the story people don’t always name.
The moment you realize the hardest season was not a punishment.
It was preparation.

When you stay open.
When you stop limiting yourself.
When you let God lead.
He rearranges what needs rearranging.

I don’t know all that this season will hold.
But I am stepping into it with a full heart. 🩶
