Let’s talk capacity, prayer, and coloring outside the lines šŸ’Œ

Heyyyy Reader šŸ’–

I’ve got to start here — integrity is one of my highest values. If I say I’m going to show up, I show up. Period.

But here’s what I’ve learned: part of keeping my word is also honoring my own capacity — making sure I show up for myself and my family first. Some weeks, that means I can’t slide into your inbox every single Monday. 🄹

So I’m giving myself (and you) permission to embrace what I’m calling the Weekly-ish Bulletin. šŸ„‚āœØ Sometimes it’s weekly, sometimes every other week, but always with something worth your time Reader. It’s not because I don’t love you — it’s because I want you to open these emails knowing they’ll be full of value, truth, and soul-stirring conversation… not just ā€œfillerā€ to check a box.

You’re not running low, Boo. You’ve been empty. šŸ«™ You’re pouring from fumes, calling it faith. 
But God ain’t ask you to bleed for people He already died for. Oop! šŸ‘€ (I’m not gettin’ out your business either šŸ’… ) Pause to rebuild your capacity. Protect your pour. It’s sacred. #TheHustleRehab #Selah #FaithAndBoundaries #RestIsObedience #SacredLiving

šŸ„‚ On Honoring Your Capacity

I recently shared this on TikTok because we all need the reminder: You can be deeply committed to your purpose and deeply committed to your rest. Sometimes the most obedient thing you can do is take one thing off your plate, not add three more.


šŸ™ How I’m Praying for You

This week, I’ve been praying over the women in my world — especially the ones I get to connect with in The Abundant Life Society Inner Circle. I prayed God would:

  • Move any blockage out of your way
  • Hold you up when you feel weary
  • Send you the mental, physical, and financial support you need
  • Keep anything from stopping you from walking out your mission

If you’ve been feeling like you’re carrying it all alone… you’re not. šŸ’™ You are seen, loved, and valued. And if you want to live that out with other women who truly get it, here’s your invitation to join us Reader.


šŸ‚ Fall Themes Inside the Inner Circle

I’m so excited for what’s ahead this fall. It's my absolute favorite season! Here’s a little peek at what we’ll be diving into together:

  • September: 🌿 Sacred Surrender— Let go of overwhelm. Recenter. Embrace slowness as you ease into fall.
  • October: šŸ•Š Soft Confidence — Own your voice. Release the pressure to prove. Boldness that honors your capacity.
  • November: ✨ Legacy in Progress — Reflect on the story you’re writing. Anchor into purpose, not performance.

If you’ve been craving structure and softness, you’re going to love what’s coming Boo! We usually do a community-wide challenge and/or a quarterly meet up for some authentic connection with other amazing ambitious women.

šŸŽØ My Favorite Low-Pressure Reset

When my brain is running too fast, I force myself to slow down — sometimes with something as simple as digital coloring. No deadlines, no pressure… just color, music, and breathing space.

If you’ve never tried it, it’s the easiest way to give your mind a break without feeling like you have to ā€œearnā€ rest. I created this Digital Coloring Book complete with a curated playlist cuz Boo - we gotta set the mood.

You can grab my Digital Coloring Book here and start your own little low-pressure ritual. No rules, no perfection required — just a cozy way to reset your mind while you sip something warm and exhale.
