Last week I had the opportunity to share space with some amazing accomplished women.

Together, we unpacked why so many high-achieving, spiritually grounded women continue performing even when their soul is exhausted.

Many women shared:
“I want to look in control.”
“I want to be helpful.”
“It’s expected of me.”
“I feel guilty.”
“I worry about what people think.”

And when we explored deeply, we realized many of us learned this from:

 upbringing
 culture
 generational patterns
 trauma
 and survival

But why do we continue to perform when we are exhausted and overwhelmed?  There is an impact on the body, mind, and spirit when we perform while numb.

Stay tuned for part 2

This morning when I woke up, I heard the words:

“Stop fighting.”

As I asked the Holy Spirit what He meant, I sensed a clear reminder to stop fighting—or ignoring—the messages that my body, soul, and spirit have been trying to send.

Because when we ignore those signals…
When we push through the fatigue…
When we override the discomfort…
When we keep moving even though something inside us is shutting down…
We begin performing while numb.

This is exactly what we explored during the Performing While Numb workshop I facilitated in partnership with a Baltimore faith-based wellness ministry.
We talked about what it truly means to perform while numb:

To keep showing up at work, at home, in church, and in our communities…
while quietly feeling emotionally depleted.

Tomorrow, I’ll share what the women in the workshop revealed about why they continue performing while numb — and the powerful patterns we uncovered together.

If this resonates and you want support, you don’t have to wait.
You can schedule a call with me. My link is in my bio. 💛

With care,

Hey sisters! Before I ever became a therapist or life coach, I was the woman who looked “strong” to everyone else… yet cried in the shower, pushed through burnout, and kept telling myself “just keep going.”

I prayed for peace while silently carrying emotional exhaustion I didn’t know how to name.
God met me there.
He reminded me that strength wasn’t meant to be performed—it was meant to be supported.

That’s why I created my 7-week H.E.A.R.T. Program—for Christian women who are building businesses, raising families, serving others… and quietly fighting battles no one sees.

It’s a safe, Christ-centered space where we slow down, explore what’s heavy, and rediscover the woman God designed you to be: whole, grounded, and emotionally free.
If part of your story sounds like mine, I’d love to walk with you.

Drop a 💛 or message me privately, and I’ll share more info.
Praying strength, restoration, and peace over you today. 💛✨

*Long Post*

Thanksgiving begins the end -of-year holiday and family celebrations which often create feelings of happiness and joy.

For many, this year’s holiday gatherings while joyful, will be very different and may provoke feelings of grief and loss. For some, feelings may be on an “roller coaster ride.” One may experience, happiness, joy, sadness, anger, irritability, nostalgia, and in some cases crying spells, all at once or in phases. For others the enemy may project lies masking as your thought that may increase feelings of guilt, overwhelming sadness and doubt; reject them.

Creating a mental or written gratitude list in the moment of “roller coaster feelings” changes your mental schema.

During this holiday season, use technology to your advantage and engage in video conferencing with loved ones. This will allow for opportunities to express your thankfulness, converse and play family games via a video conferencing platform.

For loved ones who are no longer with us, openly remembering the fun times will bring joy to the family. Let’s make the most out of the holiday season.

Finally, “in everything give thanks”and “bless the Lord at all times.”

If you are looking for a solution focused therapy experience, let’s see how I can assist you.
