The Day I chose To Start Over


ree

Hello, My Beautiful Souls 💛

This is the beginning of a new chapter in my life, and I am choosing to share it with transparency. Around my 38th birthday last June, while on a staycation, I found myself reflecting deeply. I realized I had been unhappy for a long time. Life looked okay on the surface, but inside, I felt restless, drained, and weighed down. I knew something had to change.

Over the past year, challenges at work have become constant. I was exhausted. My health started slipping, and everything around me felt chaotic. I wanted brighter days, but I couldn’t see how to get to them. God was speaking to me, gently, consistently, I knew he was, but I struggled to picture what He was leading me into. I had a vision in my heart, but it felt out of reach, buried under responsibilities and noise.

A Season of Awakening

After a conversation with my doctor, we both agreed that I needed time off from work. That break became a gift, even if I didn’t see it right away. It gave me space to breathe, to reflect, and to listen.

During that time, I began seeking God more deeply than I ever had before. In the quiet, I started to understand something important: faith is not only what we believe in; it is also what we activate. I realized that I had to stop waiting for the “perfect” moment and start walking toward the destiny God had placed in my heart.

Entrepreneurship had been bubbling within me for years. I had ideas, passions, and dreams, yet I never thought the timing was right. Now, it was clear, this was my time.

The Turning Point

With my leave from work coming to an end, my heart told me I could not go back. The idea of returning to the same environment that drained me did not feel right. I prayed, I sat in reflection, and deep down I felt that God was guiding me elsewhere, somewhere new.

Then, on September 4th, 2025, the door shut for good. I was let go from my job.

I would have panicked in another season of life. But this time felt different. What could have been a moment of fear was, instead, a confirmation. God was making room for the very path He had been preparing me for.

 Walking by Faith

Money is often our biggest worry when everything changes. Being a single mom of three with ages 10, 8, and 3, with my mom somewhat in my care, the weight of responsibility could have crushed me. But in this moment, something unexpected filled my heart: Peace.

The kind of peace that doesn’t make sense in the natural. The kind of peace only God can give.

Hebrews 11:1 has been my anchor for this season:“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”

I can’t see everything ahead. I don’t have all the answers. But I do know that God has already gone before me. He has brought me to a place of courage to step into what He has called me to.

Why I’m Writing to You

This blog, Bold & Blessed Mompreneur, is more than a platform for me to write on. It is a place for connection. It is where I will share my story honestly and invite you to see pieces of your own journey reflected in it as well.

Here, you will find: • The real joys and struggles of motherhood. • Lessons I’m learning as I step into entrepreneurship. • Reflections of faith that keep me grounded in chaos. • The creations and projects I’m building along the way.

I don’t want this space to be about a “perfect life.” It’s about real life. The kind where things fall apart and get rebuilt again, piece by piece, with grace, boldness, and blessing.

Thank you, My Beautiful Souls, for being here at the very beginning. This blog isn’t just about me; it’s about us. It’s about every human being who ever had to start over, who has carried a dream but didn’t know how to make it a reality, who has felt lost but dared, risked everything and believed again.

If you’re reading these words, chances are you’ve been there too. And if you have, know this: you are not alone. God can turn even the most chaotic season into the soil for something new.

Subscribe, follow along, and let’s walk this journey together. Let’s do it one step, one story, one victory at a time.

Until next time, remember: even in the hardest seasons, light still breaks through.

I enjoyed reading this blog. It's interesting and empowering. We as mother's, sisters, aunties, wives the go to awsome coworker, we must take time for ourselves and find peace. FIND what makes us happy. SEARCH for our passion. CHANGE can be scary and living in the unknown can be worrisome. But when you have faith in the Lord, you are not alone. I believe in having a close relationship with the God. Speak to him, conversate with Him. He listens. I also believe in finding a special friend you can communicate with. My special friend is making big changes to her life and I am so proud of her! Thanks Bella!
