I reached a point where holding on to the life I thought I was supposed to live became more exhausting than letting it go. In that surrender, I found clarity, healing, and purpose. What once felt like loss became the very foundation of my calling. House of Rise & Pray was not built from perfection, but from obedience; born in quiet moments with God, strengthened through faith, and sustained by the courage to trust His plan over her own. "I had to release the life I planned to fully receive the life God purposed—House of Rise & Pray is the evidence of what happens when you surrender and still choose to rise."

I spent years building a career I thought I was supposed to have: safe, predictable, following someone else's blueprint. The moment I stopped performing the version of success other people expected and started building the one I actually believed in, everything changed. I let go of the title I thought defined me and started chasing the impact I knew I could have. That shift didn't just change my career. It changed who I was willing to become.
