I have been in such a real season lately where God keeps bringing me back to the importance of relationships. With this move coming up and selling all my stuff, everything feels so real. And when my boyfriend came to visit for my birthday, it honestly hit me how much I had been missing with him. Long distance makes it easy to act like everything is fine, but seeing him in person showed me the little ways I had been neglecting our relationship. Not on purpose, just because life gets loud. It reminded me that love is honestly the most important thing we have. The Bible talks about that a lot. It reminds us that men are called to lead and women are called to support. And I know people hear that and think it means something old. But it is not that. Supporting your partner does not mean shrinking yourself. It means bringing peace. It means helping where he needs it. It means speaking life over him. It means being his strength when he is tired. Eve came from Adam’s rib which shows that we walk side by side. Equal. Different roles. Same worth. And I have been struggling with that balance. I live in a place where everyone is obsessed with work and career. And I love working too, but I have noticed that if something does not align with my purpose, it drains me. God has been showing me that my mission starts with the people He gave me. My family. My relationship. My friendships. If God has been showing you something about love or partnership lately and you feel comfortable sharing, I would love to hear it. These conversations always help me grow too.

The other morning I was getting ready, hair everywhere, coffee in hand, and I just said to my boyfriend, “I love flowers. They’re just so beautiful.” Totally random. That night, I got home from work and there they were. A vase of white roses with a handwritten note about how much he loves me. It made me realize sometimes people just need to hear what makes you happy. Say it out loud. You never know who’s listening. 🥰 What’s something small that makes you feel loved lately?

When I was 18, I packed up my car and moved to West Palm Beach, Florida for college. I did not really know what to expect, but I was so ready to start fresh and figure out who I was meant to be. Fast forward to this May, I graduated college. What I thought would feel like a new beginning honestly ended up feeling a little bit like heartbreak. My stepdad and mom are going through a really hard divorce, and I have been trying to process it while living miles away from all my family in South Carolina. I have been working full time, but lately I have felt drained, lonely, and disconnected. Not just from the people I love, but from myself and from God. It feels like I know He is there, but I have not been showing up the way I want to. After a lot of praying and reflecting, I realized I needed a change. So this week, I did something big. I quit my job and decided to move back home to South Carolina. It is scary, but I know deep down it is the right step. I will still be working about 10 hours a week remotely, but mostly, I am giving myself space to breathe, reset, and rebuild. And part of that for me is pouring more into this group. This space has always meant a lot to me, and I want it to be a place where women, especially those navigating their own in between seasons, can come to feel understood and less alone. If you have ever been in that place where life feels uncertain or heavy, know that you are not the only one. I see you, I have been you, and I want this group to be a space that reminds us all we do not have to go through it by ourselves. If you know someone who could use that kind of support right now, invite them in. Let’s grow this community together and create a space that feels honest, faith filled, and full of women who lift each other up. I really believe we are better when we walk through it together. 💛

Hey everyone, I could use some advice right now. Post grad life has been a lot. I have been working two jobs and doing really well in both, but honestly, I feel like I have been running on fumes. I am proud of how hard I have been working and how much I am growing in my career, but lately it feels like every ounce of energy I have is going into survival mode. Paying rent, groceries, bills. I just do not know how to make time for myself anymore. When I am not working, I try to pour whatever I have left into the people I love. My friends and my boyfriend really keep me grounded, but that usually leaves me with nothing left for me. I have been trying to prioritize sleep because I know I need energy, but I barely have time to work out, eat real meals, or just breathe. I guess I am just asking for some guidance or encouragement from people who have gone through seasons like this. How do you find balance when everything feels like a priority? How do you know what is worth pouring into when your time and energy are limited? If anyone has any wisdom, routines, or even spiritual advice that has helped you through a season like this, I would love to hear it. I am really trying to figure out how to keep going without burning out.
