There came a time in my life where one challenge followed another — miscarriage after miscarriage, financial struggle after financial struggle, heartbreak after heartbreak. And every time, I went through it alone. I told myself, “Nobody needs to see me like this. Nobody can fix it anyway.”But the truth underneath that was fear — fear that if people saw me broken, they’d never see me as capable again. I kept praying, “Spirit, why is it that every time it’s my turn to

See, in my family, we learned early that softness could be dangerous — that tears didn’t fix bills, and vulnerability didn’t keep lights on.

Soultribe… you ever had a season hit you so hard it snatches your breath? Not just “life is lifing” hard. I’m talking embarrassment hard. Bruised ego hard. Exhaustion so deep your body is tired and your spirit is tired. And the emotions don’t even stay contained — they spill over onto the people you love, and now you’re frustrated because you didn’t mean to be short, distant, snappy, or numb… but you are. And what makes it worse?

There’s a reason your energy’s been floating all over the place.Why your feet feel on the ground, but your spirit's still pacing.Why you're exhausted, not from doing too much—but from being tied to too many things you’ve outgrown. Let’s get honest. You’re not broken. You’re not lazy. You’re untethered—anchored to chaos instead of clarity, tied to timelines that no longer serve you, connected to cycles that you already graduated from.
