I remember meeting you at Simply Stylist in LA, fresh out of college, full of dreams, and hoping to carve out a space in the fashion world. At the time, I didn’t realize how much fear and striving clouded my view of what a meaningful life really was. I was chasing significance in all the places the world told me to look.

Since then, life has unfolded in the most unexpected and beautiful ways. I became a wife, a mother of two, and somewhere in the quiet moments of motherhood and the stretching of my spirit, I started to see things differently. It was in the mundane and the messy that God began to remake me. My priorities shifted, my faith deepened, and I started to crave a life that felt more rooted, unhurried, intentional, present.

So when you shared this post and the title In the Making—it truly felt like a full-circle moment. For awhile now, I’ve kept a journal titled “Becoming” where I poured out the things I was learning in the dark, hoping one day it would become something that might speak life into others.

I’ve been following your podcast and now your Substack, and this slower, intentional life you’re embracing resonates so deeply. Substack already feels like a sacred space, free from performance, rich with presence. A place to be fully seen without the noise.

Thank you for sharing your heart so honestly and for being an inspiration to those of us trying to live slower, love deeper, and walk more closely with God🤍

I believe you're where God needs you to be. He will always know what's best for us even when it feels like "What on earth am I doing?" As you can see, you're starting to get comfortable and enjoy the different things Tennessee has to offer. Sometimes trusting God can feel scary, but it's always worth it in the end. This will be God for you and your family :) No doubt. You might just hear God speak to you more than ever now that things are quieter 🩷😂 I know I've heard him a lot more since I've lived in Tennessee. Not only because Tennessee is super christian, but where I live is pretty quiet as well. Anyway, Keep up the good work! You're a great mother, great wife and a wonderful daughter to God. Xoxo
