The solution you keep seeking is in the answer God already released. You just weren’t ready to receive it. And it’s costing you greatly—the sleepless nights, the unsettled feelings, and the business that’s draining you are a result of the answer you’re avoiding. I was in this same place two years ago. Not only did it land me in the hospital, it also had my bank account looking at me crazy. Stepping into my actual spiritual advisory call was scary. I avoided it for years. It meant dropping the safety of the offers I was hiding behind. It meant leading with the truth of my calling and centering my anointing. In addition, I had to step into a spotlight that once terrified me. No longer could I hide behind marketing, marriage, or rest. I had to fully own that people needed the very thing I’d been hiding—spiritual wisdom, prophetic insight, and divine guidance from God. The longer I hid behind my other offers, I lost financially and relationally. Most importantly, I was losing my ability to hear God clearly. And the people I was called to remained stagnant too. You’re reading this far because you’re in that space too. You’ve been avoiding what God has called you to do. And now there is the quiet resentment you feel when you watch others step out boldly in the exact thing you know you were built for. It’s the same exhaustion of forcing something to work while your spirit is starving. The inner turmoil of forcing a business model to work while actively disobeying the assignment God gave you is unbearable. In this video, I’m sharing the turning point—what it actually took to accept the truth, own it, and restore what was lost. If you’re looking for a space where hearing from God is priority and obeying His call is not optional, join us inside the Rested Wealth Collective. The answer you’ve been seeking has already been released. When you are someone who is used to leading, to producing, to performing, it is so hard to see the reality of what is actually going on beneath the surface. I am known for extracting edges, loosening lace fronts and lashes. You might want to grab some glue, because this is going to be one of those conversations. But I don’t just expose it and leave you hanging. The job is not to embarrass you; it is to bring to light a truth that is necessary for your transformation. The answer you’ve been seeking? It has already been released. Where you’ve been telling yourself that you need more clarity, or that you’re waiting on some other solution, or some other strategy—it’s already here. But you’ve been dismissing it because you weren’t ready to receive it. It’s the very thing you’ve been avoiding, even though you know deep down it is what you are supposed to be doing. I have to tell on myself first, because I am not someone who talks at you. I talk to you through what I have already lived and walked through. I have been praying for a strategy. When God called me out of marketing and told me it was time to close my old business and step fully into my role as a spiritual advisor to high-performing, high-profile, high-producing women, I did what so many of us do. The moment I asked, He released the answer. He even sent confirmation through clients who came and specifically asked for the exact thing at the investment level I had convinced myself nobody would pay for. So what did I do? I panicked. I tried to repackage. I rearranged my messaging, created a dozen different offers, and hid the actual assignment behind layers of strategy. And I kept praying for the answer. When you pray for an answer and then refuse to receive it, there is a cost. There are consequences. My consequence wasn’t just my bank account looking at me real crazy—it was burnout so severe it landed me in the hospital. Productive Procrastination is Real I was doing what I call productive procrastination. I was doing all the things that made me look busy and productive, while avoiding the one assignment I was actually called to execute. You will never be able to hear God clearly when you have already decided what you want Him to say. God told me four years ago that my next success strategy was spiritual. He told me I was called to be a spiritual advisor. But I said no. I kept teaching marketing, coaching on marriage, putting all these labels on myself to hide the truth of what I was carrying. Why? Because stepping into your true lane increases your visibility. It puts more eyes on you, and there is a part of your life where you’ve already been criticized, questioned, and diminished. You look at other people doing this work publicly, you see how they get attacked, and a part of you internalizes that fear. You pick apart their methods because it’s safer to judge their boldness than to walk in your own. You allow the voices of people you trust—people who don’t understand your specific calling—to pull you out of alignment. And worst of all, you stay in the very industry systems and hustle models that you were called to disrupt, simply because staying there feels more familiar than the isolation of blazing a new trail. You can’t rest in disobedience You can’t rest, not because you don’t know how to take a nap or enforce a boundary. You can’t rest because you know you are not in obedience. You are building up resentment toward yourself because you know you are called to bigger and greater, yet you are settling for a fraction of it. You feel a constant undercurrent of confusion—not just about your business, but about what to say and how to build—because God is not going to support you in building something He never told you to touch. And here is the hardest pill to swallow: Your disobedience costs the people assigned to you. There are women sitting in other containers, following coaches on paths God never intended for them to walk, simply because you are hiding behind a mask of busyness instead of standing in the anointing on your life. When I finally surrendered and stopped fighting the assignment, everything shifted. But I realized something crucial: I couldn’t do it alone. I needed a room where I could be held as a leader without having to perform. I needed a space where my vulnerability wasn’t violated, and where someone could speak directly to the giant inside of me while holding me accountable to God. That is why I created the highest tier of my community: The Rested Woman Reigns. Why you need Rested Woman Reigns I created it because leaders who operate from the front barely have a room where they can just be. They need a space where we have honest, unfiltered conversations, where we teach from the embodiment of losing something, rebuilding it with God, and refusing to adopt the hustle of the old paradigm. If you are in a season where you refuse to move without God, if you are done forcing strategies that drain your soul, I invite you to step into the Rest Centered Wealth Collective, or cross the threshold into The Rested Woman Reigns. If you’re already inside our Substack space, simply click upgrade and choose the tier that matches your next level of obedience. This is a public episode.
