A few months ago, I came across a post from a local girl I had heard of but didn’t know personally. Her post was about being at home with her two kiddos, making Aldi runs on a random Tuesday morning, and how that was the ultimate life — the goal. Not the corporate 9–5, but building her own empire alongside her family, on her own terms.
I was drawn to her post immediately. Her charisma, positivity, and overall good energy stood out to me. I went to her page and found out she was part of a Christian-based company, Bravenly Global. My curiosity grew.
For a few reasons. First, I’ve been intentionally trying to surround myself with more Christian women; women who share similar values and beliefs, women who support one another, and determined women who want more for themselves and are building something of their own. Second, I had been struggling with finding my purpose outside of the normal day-to-day 9–5 that was slowly draining me and pulling me away from my kiddo. I felt like there was a void I was trying to fill, but I couldn’t quite figure out what it was.
So I went down the rabbit hole.
I read just about every one of her posts, looked into her products, her story, and how she had grown within the company. I was honestly so impressed and for the first time in a while, I felt like this could be something I could actually do too.
That night, I sent her a friend request. Days turned into weeks, and I couldn’t stop thinking about it — the business, the women, and the opportunity I felt like I might be missing out on. After about two months of thinking, planning, and wondering “what if,” I finally sent her a message on Facebook. I told her how I had found her page and how her content had impacted me mentally and emotionally over the past couple of months.
She was the sweetest, most genuine, and helpful person. She didn’t immediately try to sell me anything or push me to join. Instead, she asked questions, listened, and shared how the opportunity had changed her own life.
After a few weeks of back-and-forth conversation, I finally took the leap and purchased my brand ambassador kit.
This isn’t a “I joined and everything changed overnight” kind of story. This is a real-life, in-progress journey. I’m learning as I go. I’m figuring things out. I’m trying things that may work… and honestly, some that may not. You’ll see the wins, yes — but you’ll also see the learning curves, the awkward first steps, and the moments where I’m still trying to connect the dots.
I want this to be transparent. Not perfect. Not polished. Just real.
Because that’s what growth actually looks like. I’ve thought a lot about this part. Why not just keep this to myself until I “figure it out”? But the truth is, I don’t want to wait until everything is perfect to share the journey. There are so many women, especially moms - who feel stuck in a cycle of “this can’t be it for me.”
I’ve been there.
And I think sometimes we just need to see someone else in the middle of figuring it out, not just the end result. I’m sharing this publicly because I want to document the process, stay accountable to myself, and hopefully encourage someone else who might be feeling the same pull toward something more. Not necessarily more in a “bigger” way… but more in a meaningful, aligned, fulfilling way.
If you’ve read this far, I just want to say thank you for being here with me.
I’m not here to convince anyone of anything. I’m not asking you to make a decision or feel pressure in any direction.
I’m simply sharing my journey as it unfolds. But if anything, I share along the way resonates with you… if you’re curious, or if you’ve been feeling that same quiet nudge for something different in your own life, I’m always open to talking. No pressure. No expectations.
Just connection 🤍
Right now, I’m still at the beginning. Still learning. Still growing. Still figuring out what this is going to look like for me long-term.
But for the first time in a while, I don’t feel like I’m just going through the motions. I feel like I’m building something with intention.
And even if the path shifts along the way, I’m grateful I said yes to something that made me feel awake again. Sometimes, that’s where change really starts, not with certainty, but with curiosity.
