When I share A More Powerful YOU! with others, I’m sometimes met with a little bit of confusion—“So, what exactly is that?”—so I thought I’d take a moment to break it down. But more than just giving you the “info,” I want to share the heart behind it. I want to share why it exists.
Truthfully, I’ve been hesitant to share this publicly. Not because I’m unsure of what I’ve built—but because I know I’m often speaking to a very specific group of people. I call them the “misfit believers.” You know who you are ...
You still have hope. You still have belief in God. You still want to believe in yourself.
But that relationship feels complicated—maybe even a little shaky.
But that relationship feels complicated—maybe even a little shaky.
If that’s you, then friend, you are exactly who I’ve been thinking of this whole time.
It’s no secret that my own relationship with God has been a turbulent one. Some have had front-row seats to the messiness and some might’ve formed their own opinions about me. That’s okay. I’ve learned that people will often misunderstand what they don’t take the time to really see.
But for the sake of reaching the hope-filled-but-struggling hearts—the ones who long for more but feel weighed down by doubt—I’m choosing to share this now.
Because I’ve held this vision a little too close to my chest for a little too long.
Sure, I could’ve just slapped a few one-liners and a verse on my website and left it at that. But 1) that’s not me, and 2) I know that kind of marketing would attract the wrong crowd. And I care more about creating real transformation than building a big crowd.
What I don’t want is to attract the argumentative church crowd—you know, the ones who don’t look angry until they feel compelled to correct someone who sees things differently. Who offer unsolicited advice disguised as concern. Who claim to operate in love, but only when it fits their framework.
I am DONE—truly DONE—with those kinds of conversations and debates.
So where did A More Powerful YOU! come from?
For many, even the name is unsettling. It challenges traditional beliefs about God, power, and worth. I get it. I wrestled with those things too.
I was raised in an environment that taught me I was worthless without God. That I was broken beyond repair. That any power I had should be suspiciously examined or handed over to someone else (often a man in leadership). I was taught to distrust myself, deny my desires, and follow the rules—especially the unspoken ones.
And yet…
Deep inside, I always felt this quiet, stubborn knowing that God couldn’t have created me to be worthless. That there had to be more. That maybe the problem wasn’t me, but the system that kept trying to dim that light.
The inner conflict nearly tore me apart. It took years—YEARS—of soul-searching, doubt, grief, prayer, and sitting in silence to arrive at one powerful truth:
We were created for MORE.
Not more striving.
Not more rule-following.
Not more performing or proving.
Not more rule-following.
Not more performing or proving.
More truth, more freedom, more alignment with who God uniquely created us to be.
We were never meant to operate outside of our inner calling.
That truth finally settled in my spirit, and it changed everything. We are created for so much more than what we've been conditioned to settle for. We were never meant to live small, fear-driven lives. We were designed to live in alignment — with love, with purpose, and with the powerful truth of who we really are.
And that is what A More Powerful YOU! is about.
It’s not a self-help gimmick or a slick coaching program. It’s a movement of healing and restoration. A place where the broken, the doubting, the rebuilding, and the deeply called can come to reconnect with their true identity and God-given power.
I don’t claim to have all the answers or a perfect belief system. What I do have is an inner peace—a Spirit-led confidence that I am walking in who I was always meant to be. And I want the same for you.
I’ll be honest—much of my view of scripture still feels fragile, even tainted, after years of seeing it twisted and weaponized. But one verse has never stopped speaking truth to my soul, and it deeply applies here:
For God has not given us a spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” – 2 Timothy 1:7
This verse is a call to remembrance. To legacy. To identity.
We were never meant to live in fear. We were created to walk in power, in love, and with a sound mind—clear, steady, grounded.
But over time, life gets noisy. Trauma creeps in. Religious systems try to control what was never theirs to own. Pain convinces us to play small, stay silent, or settle.
A More Powerful YOU! is my answer to that.
It’s God's message, flowing through my voice, reminding you of who you really are. It’s a sacred invitation to reclaim the parts of yourself that were lost, silenced, or stripped away. It’s about rediscovering your unique expression of power, peace, courage, and truth—and walking in it boldly.
Not because you have all the answers.
Not because you're perfect.
But because you were always meant to be powerful.
Not because you're perfect.
But because you were always meant to be powerful.
And I’m just here to remind you.
Let’s talk about something that really fires me up—greenwashing. You know, those brands that slap a leaf or the word “natural” on their packaging and expect us to believe they care about our health, our planet, or our families—when in reality, they’re still packing their products with harmful chemicals and shady practices?
Yeah. That.
I used to fall for it, too. Bright, earthy labels. Words like “pure,” “clean,” “eco-friendly.” I wanted so badly to trust that companies were finally making better choices. But what I’ve realized—and what you may have felt deep down—is that most of it is just a marketing illusion. A manipulative mask to keep us feeling safe while they keep profiting off our confusion.
And let’s be real—the emotional toll is heavy.
Greenwashing isn't just deceptive. It's emotionally abusive.
It messes with our trust. It triggers guilt. It leaves us feeling defeated, overwhelmed, and unsure of who or what to believe. That’s not a minor inconvenience—that’s psychological whiplash.
Especially for those of us who are trying so hard to make better choices—mamas balancing work, parenting and schooling and those healing from trauma and doing all the emotional labor. We don’t need one more lie to untangle. We don’t need to feel like we’re the ones falling short because the system is built to confuse and exploit us.
Greenwashing feeds the same thought traps we’ve been trying to break free from:
- “You’re not doing enough.”
- “It’s your fault you didn’t know.”
- “Just try harder.”
No. The problem isn’t you—it’s the system manipulating your heart and good intentions.
This is about more than clean products. It’s about reclaiming your power.
When we see through the manipulation, we stop letting it steal our peace and self-worth. When we learn what’s really in our products—and how those ingredients affect our emotional and mental health—we get to make truly empowered choices.
That’s why I talk so much about emotional intelligence and healing, even in conversations about labels and products. Because everything is connected. Your peace matters. Your body, your mind, and your truth matter.
