Faith, Feelings, Finances, and the Unapologetic Call on My Life

December 09, 20255 min read

Let me start with this:

I didn’t choose this.
God drafted me.

Not in a dramatic, church-y, “the heavens opened and a voice boomed” kind of way… but in a slow burn, whisper-in-the-dark, “you’re built for this even though you don’t want to be” kind of way.

I am here — in this space, on this blog, inside your life — because God wouldn’t let me stay silent, small, or spiritually confused.
And because He wouldn’t let me hoard the clarity He gave me in seasons when I felt like I was losing my entire mind.

But let me tell you the truth:
My calling is not cute.
It’s not aesthetic.
It’s not tidy.

It’s real.
It’s raw.
It’s human.
It’s holy.
And it’s threaded with humor, hood moments, heartbreak, healing, and holy strategy.

This is the full picture of why I am here — the whole, unfiltered, unapologetic version.


⭐️ I teach the Bible because the Bible saved my sanity.

Most people learn Scripture through pastors, theology books, or cozy devotionals.

Not me.

I learned Scripture through:

  • panic

  • heartbreak

  • confusion

  • exhaustion

  • caregiving

  • work chaos

  • long nights

  • bad decisions

  • loneliness

  • and starting over at least eight times

I learned Scripture in real life — not the highlight-reel, church-polished version.

I learned it through:

  • therapy

  • mistakes

  • self-awareness

  • self-sabotage

  • grown-woman responsibility

  • and God checking me gently but firmly

And I realized something:

My generation doesn’t need another pastor — they need a translator.

Someone who can take:

  • ancient words

  • confusing passages

  • inconsistent church teachings

  • spiritual pressure

  • and unrealistic expectations

…and break it down in a language they ACTUALLY understand.

That’s what TL;DR KJV is —
me explaining the Bible to my homegirls with iced coffee and unresolved trauma.

I’m here to make the Bible make sense again.
Not simpler.
Just clearer.


⭐️ I teach healing because I lived broken for too long. (Whole Girl Method)

I’ve been the girl who:

  • shuts down emotionally

  • overworks to cope

  • loves people into exhaustion

  • avoids conflict until it erupts

  • attracts chaos because it feels familiar

  • mistakes panic for purpose

  • and confuses suffering with spiritual depth

I’ve been in therapy for 20 years.
I’ve studied people for just as long.
I know brokenness intimately — not just mine, but my family’s, my partners’, and the women who confide in me.

And I learned something most people won’t say:

Spiritual maturity and emotional maturity are siblings — not cousins.

You cannot:

  • pray your way past trauma

  • fast your way past anxiety

  • worship your way past people pleasing

  • scripture your way past patterns you refuse to confront

God heals, yes.
But He also requires WE participate.

Whole Girl Method is not “self-help.”
It’s:

  • self-honesty

  • self-awareness

  • spiritual humility

  • emotional responsibility

  • nervous system regulation

  • unlearning survival habits

  • and learning adult ones

I’m here because women don’t need to choose between God and mental health.
They need help integrating both.


⭐️ I teach money because I was tired of watching women suffer financially. (BGBG)

You know what broke my heart?
Seeing brilliant, spiritual, capable women:

  • drowning in bills

  • avoiding bank apps

  • overspending from stress

  • confused about credit

  • ashamed of their financial story

  • scared of investing

  • settling in relationships because of money

  • and surviving instead of stewarding

I watched “late fees” swallow entire paychecks.
I watched families crumble under financial silence.
I watched strong women break down over bills, debt, or mismanagement they were bullied into.

And I realized:

Money is emotional.
Money is spiritual.
Money is generational.

And most women — especially Black women — were never taught the rules of the game.

So I teach:

  • budgeting

  • wealth building

  • soft life money habits

  • crypto basics

  • stock fundamentals

  • the 2026 plan

  • stewardship

  • emotional spending

  • and building peace without sacrificing pleasure

Brown Girl Billionaire Gang is not about being rich.
It’s about being wise.

It’s about being a Proverbs 31 woman with:

  • a soft-life Pinterest board

  • a Coinbase account

  • a plan

  • and a steady emotional life

I’m here because I refuse to watch another woman drown in financial confusion when clarity is right there.


⭐️ I lead the God Squad because community is how we survive.

I’ve done life alone.
I’ve done it in silence.
I’ve done it in isolation.
I’ve done it in hyper-independence.
I’ve done it in invisible-black-sheep oldest daughter syndrome.

God said, “Enough.”

The God Squad is my answer to that assignment.

A place where:

  • women grow spiritually

  • women process emotionally

  • women learn financially

  • and nobody has to pretend

A community not run by perfection, but by peace.
Not by performance, but by clarity.
Not by church culture, but by spiritual truth.

I’m here because women need guidance AND grace.
Structure AND softness.
Scripture AND therapy talk.
Faith AND emotional intelligence.
Money wisdom AND spiritual security.

No more fragmented womanhood.
God called me to the whole woman.


⭐️ I’m here because I survived too much to stay quiet.

I’m here because:

  • I’ve rebuilt myself multiple times

  • I’ve navigated toxic relationships

  • I’ve carried adult responsibilities since childhood

  • I’ve been the helper for everyone

  • I’ve been the strong one without support

  • I’ve juggled career shifts, caregiving, and chaos

  • I’ve learned faith the hard way

  • and I know what it’s like to feel spiritually gifted but emotionally drained

I’m here to make your path lighter than mine was.

I’m here to give what I didn’t have:

  • clarity

  • language

  • mentorship

  • community

  • strategy

  • softness

  • and a safe place to learn God for yourself

I am here because God told me women need a prophetess who speaks like them, lives like them, and teaches with honesty, humor, and Holy Spirit.

I’m here because this is the assignment.


⭐️ Reflection Questions

  1. Which part of your life needs clarity — faith, feelings, or finances?

  2. Where have you been surviving instead of stewarding?

  3. What support have you been avoiding that you actually need?

  4. Where do you feel God nudging you to grow next?
