✨ You Don’t Have To.✨

When I set out to do Speak Life Loud, I thought that was my only lane — my one big purpose. But what I didn’t account for was everything that came with it. On top of being an entrepreneur, I live with a disability — though I don’t really see it as a “dis.”

It’s just a different ability — one a lot of people don’t have the privilege of experiencing.

As I’ve kept climbing this business mountain (or sliding down it — because every hill has its peaks and dips), I’ve come to understand something deeper. I’m not just trying to reach the top. Because of how I move through life, I now see the top and the bottom. I’ve been both — and often, at the same time.

It’s like this philosophy I carry:
The fertilizer is the fruit. And the fruit is the fertilizer.
What’s growing me and what’s feeding me are the same.

Through adversity, I’ve learned to love the process.
Even when I resist it.
Even when it stretches me.
My growth is in that tension.

My ability doesn’t limit me — it just reroutes me.
It shows up loudly in some areas, quietly in others.
And that still allows me to dream as big as I want, just in my own lane.

In my lane, I speak life loud.
In my lane, there’s nothing I can’t achieve once I align my mind and my spirit.

I partner with God, with Spirit, with the universe.
And eventually, with team members and coworkers, too.
Because I know how to delegate — both in faith and in business.

This road I’m on today? It feels different.
But there’s no avenue I can take now that won’t remind me of:

• Where I’ve come from

• Where I’m going

• And who I’m traveling with.

Being an entrepreneur hasn’t been the most difficult thing I’ve faced.
It’s just been the newest.
And with newness comes change — for my business, my life, and my mind.

The me from 10 years ago would’ve never imagined this.
So when I feel resistance, I know it’s her — the old me — who’s scared.
Not the woman I am today.

Because the me today?
Sis, I wear these shoes comfortably.

They used to feel too big. Or too tight.
Definitely a “Goldilocks” situation.
But now?
This life fits.
This business fits.
This purpose fits.

And I hold the responsibility with full awareness:
Speaking life loud is sacred.
Not just through healing or hardship — but in the everyday moments that look like mountains.

Because love will always meet you.
Exactly where you are.
Like the wind — even when it’s not howling, it’s still present.
Even indoors, we’re breathing it in.
We’re surrounded by it. We’re sustained by it.

So while I’m walking down this new avenue — in this new skin, with this new boldness —
I want to say thank you.

Thank you for visiting this site.
For believing in me.
For letting me grow, stretch, and stumble.
Thank you for helping me keep going.

Because you don’t have to be at the top to be in your purpose.
You don’t have to have it all together to be powerful.
You don’t have to prove anything to speak life loud.

You just have to be here.

And you being here? That’s the loudest statement of all.
