PART 2: Becoming the Woman I Needed — Breaking Cycles, Building Strength, and Becoming Myself

Image
There comes a moment in every woman’s life where she looks at her reflection and realizes: “I can’t stay who I was. I have to become who I’m meant to be.” My own transformation never arrived in one big moment. It came quietly, slowly, and in the middle of everyday life — through heartbreak, through motherhood, through loss, and eventually through fitness. But every step led me closer to the woman I am now: stronger, softer, wiser, more intentional, and fiercely focused on becoming my best self. 1. The Awakening — Understanding That Feeling “Stuck” Isn’t Permanent Losing my dad suddenly at 17 was the earthquake that cracked my entire world open. He was 41. I was still a child myself. And life didn’t come with a manual on how to survive that kind of loss. When the foundation is ripped out from under you so young, you start searching for stability anywhere you can find it: relationships attention partying alcohol anything that feels like comfort, even if it’s temp...

The lessons Covid19 has taught me...

2020 and the past 8 months of 2021 have changed my way of thinking and my priorities completely, I no longer desire the things I used to. When my husband battled Covid19 in January 2021 it was one of the scariest and challenging times of our lives, I felt so helpless seeing him suffer. Then in July my sister, my mom, my son and I got infected, my son had no symptoms but I have never felt so ill in my entire life.

People like to ask the question if there really is a God where is He in all this suffering? Why do bad things happen to "good people" and why do some people starve to death while others prosper? They say there can’t be a God if the world is such a terrible and bad place. The fact is if there was no God then none of this would make sense, all this suffering, crime, abuse and violence would just not make sense. Life would be senseless and hopeless… But think of this for a moment…what if there really is a God? A good God that is there during all this suffering and pain the world is going through. What if the truth is that we live in a fallen world where wicked people are hurting innocent and good people, where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and all of this is not God’s fault but man’s. We caused sin to enter the world through Adam and Eve. What if God really has a plan to stop all of this suffering and that His plan is to take all the people who repent of their sins...
