I’ve spent over 20 years walking alongside women helping them navigate their relationships, their healing, and their becoming. I’m a licensed psychotherapist, a transformational coach, and a spiritual teacher. I’m also a wife of 24 years, a mother of five, and a woman who has done (and is doing) her work.
Alongside my husband, I’m the co-founder of Black Love and Marriage, where we support couples in deepening their connection, improving communication, and rebuilding trust. And I’m also the founder of The Art of Overcoming—a sacred space specifically for women who are ready to reconnect with themselves, do the inner work, and break free from the strongholds that have kept them stuck.
What I know is this:
You can want a better relationship and want more for yourself.
You can love your husband and still feel like you’ve been holding too much.
You can be “strong” and still be spiritually tired, emotionally overwhelmed, and unsure of what you need.
You can be a loving woman and still stop doing things that are costing you your peace.
You can have boundaries without becoming somebody you don’t recognize.
I’ve seen it all....the woman trying to fix the relationship by carrying the weight of it. The woman staying quiet to keep the peace. The woman everybody calls because they know she’ll handle it. The woman saying yes while resentment builds underneath it. The woman praying for people to change while quietly participating in patterns that keep her exhausted.
Because I’ve lived it.
I used to call myself a recovering aggresso-holic. I was over-functioning, over-talking, under-healing, and running on fumes. But when I finally stopped performing and started being honest with myself and with God, everything began to shift.
Something beautiful happens when we stop asking, “How do I get everybody else to do better?” and begin asking, “What am I available for now?”
Today, I have a beautiful and intentional marriage, a family I love, and a purpose I walk in every day. But not because it was handed to me....because I committed to the work. And now, I help other women do the same.
So this challenge?
It’s not just a good idea.
It’s an invitation to stop confusing exhaustion with love.
To stop measuring your goodness by how much you can carry.
To stop waiting for everybody else to change before you give yourself permission to change the way you show up.
This may be an answer to the prayer you might not have known you prayed.
If you’ve been asking for space, insight, support, clarity, or peace…
This is it.
But you’ve got to choose it.
Let’s walk this out together.
